DIRT 5 Launch Update

Codemasters (AIM:CMD), the award-winning British videogame developer and publisher specialising in high-quality racing games, provides an update regarding the launch of DIRT 5, scheduled for release on 16 October 2020.

The Company can confirm that the game will now be released on 6 November 2020 on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and PC. The revised launch date will allow the Company to release all versions of the game in a shorter timeframe, with the next generation of consoles (PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X) launches expected for the holiday season.

The Board believes that this later launch date will have no impact on the Company's financial expectations.

Frank Sagnier, Chief Executive at Codemasters, said:

"DiRT 5 has received widespread critical acclaim, culminating with the game receiving the gamescom 2020 Best Racing Game Award on 30 August. The revised launch date will allow us to take advantage of the next generation console launches which are expected in time for the holiday season."
