DIRT 5 Launch Update
Codemasters (AIM:CMD), the award-winning British videogame
developer and publisher specialising in high-quality racing games,
provides an update regarding the launch of DIRT 5, scheduled for
release on 16 October 2020.
The Company can confirm that the game will now be released on 6
November 2020 on PlayStation(R)4 computer entertainment system, the
Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and PC. The
revised launch date will allow the Company to release all versions
of the game in a shorter timeframe, with the next generation of
consoles (PlayStation(R)5 and Xbox Series X) launches expected for
the holiday season.
The Board believes that this later launch date will have no
impact on the Company's financial expectations.
Frank Sagnier, Chief Executive at Codemasters, said:
"DiRT 5 has received widespread critical acclaim, culminating
with the game receiving the gamescom 2020 Best Racing Game Award on
30 August. The revised launch date will allow us to take advantage
of the next generation console launches which are expected in time
for the holiday season."
