“The result is fantastic”: DiRT 5 developers are shocked by the influx of players after adding a race to Game Pass

Rally race DiRT 5 Benefited greatly from Codemasters after joining a subscription service Xbox Game Pass in February this year.

About this during the podcast GameOnDaily told the technical head of the studio David Springgate… According to him, the project already felt pretty good, however, immediately after adding to Game Pass, the number of players in it increased dramatically, which was a real surprise for the developers

Springgate noted that this is an “absolutely fantastic” result that will no doubt extend the lifecycle of the game, which debuted last fall. DiRT 5 is now available as a subscription to Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC.

Last week editor of Windows Central edition Jez Corden reportedthat the number of active Xbox Game Pass subscribers in the past few months has increased by more than 20% and now stands at 23 million people… The last time Microsoft disclosed the number of users of the service was in January – at that time there were 18 million.
