Dirt 5, the racing game by Codemasters, just got a small update today. While Update 6.02 doesn’t add much content, it does bring the ‘Tricks N Treats’ Halloween Playgrounds pack. The pack contains cool Halloween-themed objects items that you can use in Smash Attack, Gate Crasher, and Gymkhana. All of these will be available starting tomorrow.
The patch addressed several platform-specific bugs as well. For Xbox, the crash issues that occurred when players sign out of their profile have been fixed. Some audio distortion issues have been squashed as well.
Speaking of audio issues, PS5 players don’t have to worry about audio cutting when the game is started with a racing wheel. That issue is gone now.
