It's going to be a little while longer until Dirt 5 takes the starting line on Xbox One, with Codemasters revealing today that it has delayed the title by a few more weeks until November 6th.
In a statement on Twitter, the team acknowledged the disappointing news:
"It sucks, we know. Seriously, we can't thank everyone enough for your support and excitement around Dirt 5, ever since its reveal back in May. The positive feedback we've received from hands-on preview sessions has blown us away, too. The start line is now a little further away, but it's still very much in sight."
Despite this, Codemasters has confirmed that the Xbox Series X version of the game won't be affected - it's still launching later this year and will be a free update for owners of the Xbox One version, so no issues there.
Additionally, the company says it's planning to share more details about Dirt 5 in the lead up to launch, including new cars and locations, the final car list, more next-gen feature details and a full reveal of the game's multiplayer features.

Excited for 4K@120fps. 🙌
@Z3u5000
Have they actually stated it's 4K for 120FPS mode?
I can't see even next gen consoles pushing that far.
I imagine it would be more like 1080p/1440p.
@blinx01 Some people have a misconception that frame times and performance are limited to just how fast your GPU is, but CPU performance is obviously critical too, it would be no good if you had a GPU that can render beautiful visuals at 4K at 120fps if you don’t have a CPU that can generate enough frame data to render that quickly on the GPU. A powerful GPU needs a powerful CPU to back it up and Xbox Series X delivers this.

Framerate is obviously key in a racing game. You get a stronger sense of speed and responsiveness at higher frame rates. 120fps seemed crazy to me at first, when Xbox told me that Xbox Series X could support 120fps, I thought “Sure, for something a little more simple perhaps… Perhaps a simple arcade game or something…”
Firstly, I was very surprised at how quickly we were able to configure for 120fps and get it up and running. More importantly, I was shocked at how quickly we could hit 120fps! We hadn’t done any optimization for it at this stage but the game was frequently hitting 120fps.

I don't see any quotes there to say it's at 4K 120FPS?
I've seen an article stating they will have a 120FPS option, which means the default will be something else, probably 4K 60FPS.
@blinx01 There are lot of ways to achieve 4K120fps on such powerful hardware for games like Dirt 5. We will see about that when it releases.
@blinx01 This may be my most anticipated Series X “Launch title”. Racing games are a good way to show off the shiny new graphics of a new console. I’m also thinking 120 FPS is most likely for a lower resolution, and 60 for 4K. I’m really interested to see how many graphics modes/options are available. My new TV does 120hz up to 1440p so hopefully the game will support that. Though obviously 4K at 120 would be super impressive.
