Codemasters has confirmed that the long-awaited DiRT Rally 2.0 VR upgrade is out now on PC. DiRT Rally 2.0, complete with VR, is available on the Oculus Store and via Steam as a free update. Codemasters has also released a gameplay trailer to coincide with the announcement that you can find below.
Players who purchase the Oculus edition will receive five exclusive car liveries. Moreover, they will be able to compete in special daily, weekly and monthly challenges.
Thanks to this free VR update, players can put themselves directly into the driver’s seat and fully experience every inch of each stage. From the mixed surfaces of Poland to the heated tarmac in Spain, players will now be able to fully appreciate the track degradation as it cuts-up as cars pass through the stage.
Ross Gowing, DiRT Rally 2.0 Game Director at Codemasters, said:
“Since launch our community has been very vocal about wanting a VR version of DiRT Rally 2.0, so we’re delighted to bring this to the PC version. It turns out that for many of our players VR is the only way to experience a rally game, and this will enable them to enjoy playing like never before.”
Codemasters claims that there are no plans to add PlayStation VR support to DiRT Rally 2.0. As such, only PC gamers can enjoy this rally racing game in VR.
Enjoy!

Haven’t used my Oculus for a long time.
Is the career still always online? Then No.
“for many of our players VR is the only way to experience a rally game”
PR-speak for ‘All good racing sim/simcade games are great in VR but we can’t say that publicly because we didn’t bother to include it with F1 2019.’
“there are no plans to add PlayStation VR support”
An interesting business decision. Is PS VR already dying?
It’ll be interesting to see complaints, after the fact that Sony has paid devs to make some VR games exclusive to their system, while on PC< it's entirely a dev decision.
Well, Sony has a history of not giving sufficient backing to some of their products beyond the hype of the launch window so if PS VR is now withering on the vine then it wouldn’t in the least surprise me.
As for the game on PC I just viewed the Steam user reviews. Currently has a “Mixed” rating with folk dissatisfied with a range of issues including the dev’s slow response to patching things, the (until now) absence of VR, online requirement for campaign mode, major difficulty spikes in campaign mode and the amount of money-grabbing DLC being released before addressing other more pressing issues.
I think I’ll now pick up the game only when heavily discounted and/or when a GOTY version appears.
“slow response to patching things”.
Reminds me of Beth with Wolf YB and RAGE 2. I’m still not able to play RAGE 2 thanks to numerous CTD’s and YB due to crappy AI and humans that seemingly do not understand how “co-op action” works.
You bought SJWahmenstein YB?!
I did, because I was expecting to play with a friendo, but that more or less fell through due to their rent payment.
Or maybe your friend just told you that after having seen the reviews, haha!
Naw lol, I actually ended up helping him in paying off that rent. Guy has too many subs to multiple venues, and I’ve told him to cut the fat.
Only sub I have going for me atm is Amazon prime and a few cheap Patreon backings per month.
I honestly forgot that this game actually came out.
