Dirt 5 is a very popular game on Stadia – racking up about 125,000 Stadians on its leaderboard during the three months it was claimable on Stadia Pro and still growing.
A couple months the ago the developer posted that the Stadia version would be updated to reach parity with other platforms in February. Looks like we aren’t going to have to wait until February 28th as the new version has rolled out!
We tried crossplay earlier and were able to match make quickly (~10 seconds) in a race that included 1 other Stadian and 8 players on other platforms – labeled “Dirt Racer”. We and others have also noticed improvements in game performance. If you haven’t tried online party mode, do that now. It is a blast!
It will be interesting to see if this new update keeps the leaderboard growing.
