DiRT Rally 2.0 Update Version 1.7 – VR Support Is Here
Many community members have been shouting, yelling and swearing. And it must have worked.
Codemasters released a new update for their DiRT Rally 2.0 title which adds the long-awaited VR support via the Oculus Store and Steam as the game now supports OpenVR for the Steam version.
Furthermore, the update to Version 1.7 also adds a bunch of free content in the form of a selection of DirtFish Liveries and a Test Drive Location. To access the location select [Garage] from the My Team main menu, and then [Vehicle Options] and [Test Drive]. DirtFish is also expected to be added to Freeplay in a future update. There are currently no plans to add it to Multiplayer.
DiRT Rally is available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The digital version of DiRT Rally 2.0 is available on Steam for 54,99€. The DiRT Rally 2.0 Deluxe Edition is available for 74,99€.
