DiRT Rally 2.0 is a singleplayer and multiplayer simulation racing game developed and published by Codemasters. It is part of the Colin McRae Rally series.
Unlike DiRT 4 which features procedurally generated stages, DiRT Rally 2.0 returned to traditional bespoke rally tracks. The game supports a wide selection of input peripherals and a VR mode is available through Oculus SDK and OpenVR.
It was released on February 26, 2019 via Steam, followed by the release on Microsoft Store and Oculus (VR-only) later in the same year.
The career mode requires a constant internet connection in order to play.[2]
