The value story
The value story
Across all 42 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Circuit Superstars ($19.99, scores 53) outscores it, and so does Barro GT ($4.99, scores 18). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about DIRT 5
Critics scored it 72, but players land 18 points lower at 54 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 8.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 17 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 509 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 33 percent of the 978 reviews written there were positive, against 54 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 8.5 hours. Doing everything runs 24, 2.8 times as long.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 8.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
I have truly had fun with this game over the years. Enjoyed the soundtrack as well.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
So I wanted to make this review sooner than later because i feel like evertime i launch this game it will be the last and tbf I really don't know why that is. Graphics look really good to this day (4k), game has a lot of varied content - a lot of modes from 3, a few new ones too. Soundtrack is amazing, EA usually has good soundtracks in their games (excluding kokoko wee wee in last nfs). I wanted to try this game...
Clunky and gimmicky. The game is poorly balanced, the controls are unresponsive, and it's 90% menus. They focused on making it flashy thinking that would compensate for the total lack of inspiration and effort.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
