Dirt 6 Trailer
Passionate fans of the Dirt series have eagerly been waiting for the announcement of Dirt 6 for a couple of years now, but at the moment, no official news or reveal trailer has been published by the developers regarding this game.
Whenever it is released, however, Dirt 6’s reveal trailer will provide gamers with a great idea of what players can expect to see in the upcoming Dirt game in regards to its gameplay, graphic quality, game modes, platforms, and much more. Until then, we can only make assumptions about what Dirt 6 possibly has to offer.
Dirt 6 Gameplay Speculation
Speaking about Dirt 6’s gameplay, based on the gameplay mechanics of the previous games in the series, barring the 5th part, we can safely speculate that this forthcoming sequel will once again look to live to the iconic off-road racing circuits they are very well known for.
As much as people must’ve liked Dirt 5, it never felt connected to the entire Dirt game franchise at all with its jazzy lighting effects and urbanized setting. In our opinion, the game strayed a little too far away from the core mechanics and aesthetics that made the Dirt series famous in the first place, but we strongly hope that the developers have realized the error of their ways, and are now fully committed to bringing the series back to its rural settings in Dirt 6.
Players can expect to see new tracks, the addition of numerous new gameplay mechanics and advancements, cars & additional game modes.
Dirt 6 will most likely feature multiplayer mode like its predecessors as well, but we have yet to confirm that piece of information just like we have to do for the game’s release date.
Dirt 6 Cars Speculation
Dirt Games are popular for featuring the latest models of racing cars. In addition to this, Dirt Games has not shied away from experimentation either, whether it is gameplay or even vehicles, so players can expect a lot when it comes to the department of cars with EA also in the picture.
Just like the previous parts, we can expect Dirt 6 to include Sprint, Cross Raid, 90’s Rally, 80’s Rally, Modern Rally, Super Lites, and much more. We will be able to shed some more light on this matter once the official trailer is out but we can be sure of the fact that every car used in the series so far will look and perform better than it has till now.

Dirt 6 Platforms Speculation
We will be basing our Dirt 6 Platforms Speculations on not only the previous Dirt Games but also on the latest racing games released by Codemasters as well.
Starting with the PlayStation platform, Dirt 5 was released on PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5, while F1 22 (one of the latest games from EA) was released on PlayStation 4 as well. So to put things into perspective, there is a high probability of Dirt 6 being released for PlayStation devices.
Next up, as far as other devices are concerned, by looking at the platforms the last Dirt game released on, we can safely speculate that the upcoming Dirt tile, Dirt 6, will also be released on platforms like Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PC, and Stadia.
Will update this section of the post if any new platforms are added to the supported platform’s list.
Dirt 6 News & Rumors

It is also a possibility that the release of Dirt 6 takes place under a different title. The sequel is also circulating under the title Dirt 3.0.
