Dirt 5 Xbox Series X Hands-On! 4K60 + 120Hz Modes Tested

Our first true hands-on with Xbox Series X software. Even in this preview build Dirt 5 is shaping up to be a perfect launch title for the system - sporting multiple ways to tap into its horsepower. Image quality, performance, and 120Hz modes are on offer, all of which are giving a full tech breakdown. Tom digs in to see how each is set up to make the most of Series X.

Youtube needs to allow higher bitrate.. it looks awful when the screens in motion like the blockyness is irritating hard to enjoy the ground details

[KamisKapi]

thanks for covering 120 fps as at 50% speed, many other youtuber didn't realized youtube videos is capped at 60hz

[ChipWarriors]

I get the sense youtube compression is killing some of the visuals here because of the mud particles + motion

[NintendoMaster]

Glad this generation is focusing on 60fps/120fps. Don’t think we had this many 60fps games at launch since like PS2

[zorroknowsbetter]

120 FPS at 1440p is extremely impressive for a console, really hyped to see this game in action myself.

[dinkomalinko]

This sounds so much more detailed then ign’s bs graphics impressions. Details with physics/damage/paint it’s all good!

Dirt 5 is just lucky there is no Forza 8 or GT7 this year.

Look at all the pop-in, low res textures, and frame drops. How’d you guys miss that?

[jameszumwalt]

Seeing that 60fps seems to be attainable 99% of the time makes me happy.

[Foggy_]

Is there any actual Dirt fans in the comments who can give their honest impressions on this compared to the previous iterations in the series, is this a solid improvement?

[HigherQualityUploads]

Hopefully this is the generation where 30fps is finally abolished.

[IrishNomad]

Technically, it's not a "next-gen" title but rather a cross-gen title.

[rare]

It does look exceptionally smooth even with my YouTube 1080/60 limitations. Clearly there has been a focus on frame rate and not outright fidelity which is entirely respectable.

[proassassin]

Dirt still has that weird look to cars like they are hovering above the ground. No weight to them.

[rsolsjo]

YouTube needs to start supporting 120fps video. 😀

[GamerInVoid]

FINALLY 60FPS becoming mainstream in Consoles !

[toddhoward]

Wtf was IGN showing this looks so much better

[hrtz]

Give us a next gen MotorStorm

Everything the 2006 trailer promised

[KCIsMe]

I want this purely because of the split screen lol. I hope next gen has lots of local split screen games.

Shadows popping, baked in shadows, cars leaving floating shadows half way up the fence, tons of lighting issues, when he come off the dirt track on to the tarmac road literally no dirt being left on the road despite it being all over the body and wheels... in a game called dirt... pyrotechnics in the middle of the track, by far the brightest thing on screen in that shot, not seen in the reflections of the car or lighting the environment around it. Oh, bUt ItZ aN eArLy bUiLd, miss me with that PR bullshit, the games a month out! All DF ever look at is early builds, hold this game to the standards you held spiderman remaster too
