Dirt 5 has today launched its update 5.00/5.01, so here is the official list of changes and fixes with this patch! As you might’ve seen from the title, this is the biggest update Dirt 5 has seen since its launch back in November of 2020. And while the patch notes may be rather short, they’re deceptively small. There’s a lot of various bits and pieces to unpack from new cars, race tracks, liveries, and more! Without further adieu, here’s everything that’s been changed and added with Dirt 5 update 5.00/5.01!

Disclaimer: If you’re wondering why this Dirt 5 patch is referred to as update 5.00/5.01, two updates went out today, with the second addressing various technical issues. As these aren’t listed though, it can be assumed these changes are mashed together.

Dirt 5 Update 5.00/5.01 Patch Notes

While these technical changes are nice as far as the performance and health of Dirt 5 go, update 5.00/5.01 mainly focuses on that new Super Size Content Pack. With several new cars, liveries, career events, and sponsors, there’s a lot of content to unpack from just that. That’s not even going over all the free content, including the new Sao Conrado and Rio Seafront tracks, perfect for a trip to Brazil. With such a large update for the game, we hope you enjoy everything there is to offer.
