Codemasters has just announced the fourth installment of its famous DiRT saga for June 9 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The support for virtual reality will depend on the reception of DiRT Rally on PlayStation VR.
DiRT 4 introduces important new features such as the racing trucks and buggies (present in previous deliveries and missing DiRT Rally), but the most striking is the possibility that the mode baptized Create your Circuit, that will allow us to design a level in a simple way by pressing a button and allowing us to establish the scenario where you create, as well as certain parameters, which will facilitate the creation of more technical routes, or more simple and suitable for beginners. Regarding the possible support for virtual reality, the developers have answered in an interview with RedBull.com which is something they will consider after the launch of DiRT Rally on PlayStation VR, depending on their reception by the players.

Fingers crossed that this is the case.
