Buy DiRT Rally 2.0 as a Steam gift β the Codemasters rally simulator
DiRT Rally 2.0 is an uncompromising rally simulator by Codemasters, released on 26 February 2019 and the seventh game in the DiRT series. There is no room for error here: you fight the clock alone on twisting special stages, listening to your co-driver and balancing on the edge of grip. We hand the game over as a Steam gift β get behind the wheel and see what you are made of.
The two disciplines of DiRT Rally 2.0: rally and rallycross
DiRT Rally 2.0 is about two disciplines: classic timed rally and spectacular rallycross on closed circuits. In rally you drive special stages on tarmac and off-road in varying weather, relying only on your co-driverβs pace notes β you do not see the road in advance. Codemasters is a racing-genre legend, and many consider the second DiRT Rally one of the most demanding and honest loose-surface simulators on the market.
Locations and special stages
The base game has six rally regions: Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Spain and the USA β each with its own surface character, from soaked clay to rocky mountain roads. Later, extra stages arrived: Finland, Germany, Greece, Monte Carlo, Sweden and Wales β remasters of tracks from the original DiRT Rally. Each region demands its own driving style and car setup. Argentina's broken gravel forgives differently than Spain's slick tarmac or the sodden mud of Wales, and relearning each region is part of the fun for those who dig deep.
Rallycross and the FIA licence
Like the previous entries, DiRT Rally 2.0 is an official game of the FIA World Rallycross Championship. It features eight tracks from the World RX calendar with real teams, cars and liveries. At launch several rallycross classes are available: the official FIA World Rallycross Supercars, RX2, Super 1600 and Crosskarts. Rallycross is tight wheel-to-wheel racing rather than a run against the clock.
Weather, surface and track degradation
A hallmark of the second entry is a living weather and surface model. Rain changes grip in real time, and the stage surface itself wears down: the more cars pass, the more the ruts are chewed up, and later starters face a far trickier surface. This forces you to think ahead β about tyres, suspension, and where to risk it versus where to play safe. Night stages lit only by your headlights add another layer of nerves: you see exactly as far as the beam reaches, and mostly you have to trust the co-driver's voice.
Cars and rally classes
The rally roster spans decades of the sport: from classic rear-wheel-drive coupes of the 60s and 70s and the iconic Group B and Group A machines to modern all-wheel-drive R5/Rally2 monsters. Each class drives differently β some are wild, near-uncontrollable power with no electronic aids, others are precise all-wheel drive that forgives a little more. Building a garage of favourites and learning to feel each one is part of the joy for a rally fan.
Realism, wheels and VR
DiRT Rally 2.0 was built with sim-racers in mind: it pairs beautifully with force-feedback wheels, conveys the car's weight and the moment it breaks into a slide, and on PC it gained VR support β with a headset the cockpit immersion gets very intense. That is exactly why it is loved by those who want to learn real rally driving through feel, rather than just pinning the throttle.
Online, daily events and community
Beyond the career, the game hosts online modes and regular competitive events: you run the same special stages and compare times with drivers worldwide on shared leaderboards. Daily, weekly and monthly challenges give you a reason to come back and polish specific stages to a perfectly clean run, fighting for tenths of a second.
Career, team and car setup
In the single-player career you do not just drive β you run your own team: hiring engineers, repairing and servicing the fleet between events, investing in growth. Between special stages there are service areas with limited repair time, so protecting the car is part of the strategy. And deep tuning of suspension, gearing and differentials for a specific surface is a discipline of its own for the meticulous. And the damage is real: a punctured tyre, bent suspension or an engine stalled mid-stage can wreck a whole event, so care is sometimes worth more than speed.
