Update News
DiRT Rally Adding Playstation VR
January 12th, in the year of our Lord 2017 –
Codemasters has today announced that it will be adding
PlayStation VR support to DiRT Rally®, the racing game on
PlayStation®4, in the coming weeks. The VR compatibility upgrade
will be available as a standalone DLC Add-On for existing
players at £9.99 on the PlayStation®Store or as a new ‘DiRT
Rally PLUS VR Upgrade’ retail version and will let you drive in
fully immersive VR throughout the entire game supporting every
car, every route and every discipline within DiRT Rally.
As well as allowing you to drive any of the stunning rally,
rallycross and hill climb cars in full VR, the update to DiRT
Rally will add a completely new Co-Driver Mode to the rally
sections of the game. This new feature allows a second player to
become engrossed in the action as they use the buttons and
touchpad on a DUALSHOCK 4® to give the pace note calls to the
driver from the social screen. Just like with real life
co-driving, timing and accuracy are vital in order for you to
complete the stage in the best time possible.
Paul Coleman, Chief Games Designer, DiRT Rally, said: “The
PlayStation®VR upgrade allows you to get closer than ever to the
experience of being a real life rally driver. The addition of
the co-driver mode also allows you to work together with a
friend to get through the stage and adds an even deeper level of
realism and immersion to the rally stages.”
The update will immerse players into the world of rally like
never before as they take on some of the most challenging rally
stages in the world, as well as multi-car racing at three
locations in the FIA World Rallycross Championship.
