Overview

Dirt Showdown represents a shift in gear for the Dirt franchise, leaning towards the arcade action of Destruction Derby or FlatOut. There are three components to Showdown's gameplay: speed, style and destruction. Speed is covered by the race events, style by the Hoonigan events (previously known as Gymkhana events), and destruction by 8 player Destruction Derby-esque arena battles. Showdown's handling is more forgiving than Dirt 3's, in an effort to attract newcomers. Showdown's presentation returns to Dirt 2's, with lasers, fireworks and hordes of spectators screaming over the now-customary dubstep soundtrack.

Dirt Showdown is the first title to be released under the Codemasters Racing label, and the first title to use Codemasters' RaceNet functionality - a cross-game online platform similar to Rockstar's Social Club.

Showdown is not intended to be a replacement for Dirt 4, but rather a new arcade take on the franchise - in a similar vein to Forza Horizon's development alongside an inevitable Forza 5.

The game was later released by Sega (Company) for arcades in 2015 as Showdown.
