Dirt Rally skids onto Steam Early Access

Dirt

There's a new Dirt game, and it's already available to play on Steam Early Access, if you're willing to pay £22.49 / $34 for the in-development build.

A new website has been launched to serve as a hub for community feedback and as a stat-tracking centre for players' in-game performance.

We'll test it shortly, but the Early Access edition sounds chunky, with 36 stages spread across set in Powys, Wales; Monte Carlo, Monaco and Argolis, Greece. Each stage has day and night variations and there are 14 cars to race. Between races you'll also manage a team of engineers to upgrade your fleet of vehicles. You'll find first footage in the video above, complete with some glimpses of the sweet cockpit view.
