Dirt 5 will feature a full-fledged career mode where players race and make decisions that will change the narrative of their racing career.

[poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.Scorn Was the Surprise Hit of Inside Xbox… and We Saw It 3 Years Ago
Our IGN hosts discussing the Inside Xbox gameplay reveals have named Scorn as the biggest surprise of the show. The H.R.Giger-like horror has also been going down a storm on Twitter. But, interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Scorn. We actually first saw it back in September 2017… almost three years ago.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/09/06/scorn-8-minute-gameplay-trailer"]
You can check out eight minutes of gameplay in the video above if the Xbox Series X trailer wasn’t quite enough for you. Of course, Scorn has likely advanced quite a bit since 2017, but you’ll still get a good feel for what the game is all about.
If you’re a PC player, you may be even more clued up on Scorn, as it's been listed on Steam for quite some time. Some PC gamers have even played Scorn, as developers Ebb Software put out a playable alpha demo in 2017, too.
Have you already played Scorn and are ready for more in next-gen quality, or is this your first taste of the horror and it has you intrigued? IGN will be sure to have more information on Scorn as we approach launch.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/07/scorn-xbox-series-x-gameplay-reveal"]
Ebb Software have announced that Scorn will be exclusive to Xbox Series X when the game launches. No details have been provided about a PC or PlayStation release, but the developer's website lists only Xbox, Windows Store, and Steam.
For more, check out the first in-engine look at Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon and read why we think you should lower your expectations for next-gen graphics.
