Upgrade to VR is available if you own the game already. Price $12.99 USD, €12.99, £9.99 $19.95aud.

Update:

There is a new patch coming. People that have the VR DLC can't play in VR until they have the update.

Codemasters have said midnight, but not sure which time zone that applies to. (Possibly UK) .

Update 2: Patch is live in NA (cheers atomsk) and UK/AU

1.04 patch

This update includes support for the PlayStation VR expansion, available for download from the PlayStation Store

- Adds support for PlayStation VR in all game modes and menus
- Adds PlayStation VR co-driver mode for Rally

Update # 3. Retail and digital owners unable to buy VR dlc.

I've alerted the DiRT team, they're working with the PS Store team to resolve this.

FYI this isn't limited to retail owners. As a digital owner I'm unable to purchase it also

Prophecy777 on whirlpool aus gaming forum called Sony, who said 7pm EST it will be fixed by Codemasters. which we assumed was right now and the DLC for retail and digital owners is still not working. Unless they meant EST in the world sense, we have a problem.

Update 4. FIXED! Enjoy.

FIXED. Shift+F5 the store page and you should be able to buy it now.

Can't wait to play in VR.

Once I've downloaded it on my crappy Australian ADSL2. No worries! Be a while.... 30hrs or so....

 

[op_ivy]

Nice!

haha I dont envy you. Is the internet that bad in Oz?

 

[ManeKast]

haha I dont envy you. Is the internet that bad in Oz?

Where I live sadly, yes. I get about 3.5Mbit. I'm quite regional though.

 

[skynidas]

The original game is amazing, wonder if the VR implementation is good and if they will also put it into Dirt 4 that is coming out this summer.

 

[Freeman76]

Cant find it in UK, will buy as soon as its live

 

[Heavy_D206]

Any word on the price for the VR stuff if you already own the base game?

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Oh nice! Definitely look forward to impressions for this... although I absolutely dont need a new game right now! Haha

 

[ManeKast]

Cant find it in UK, will buy as soon as its live

Came out here right at 12:01am when our store usually updates. Been hanging for it, traded it toward my Pro a while back... otherwise I would just need the update.

Anyone confirm the price of the update by itself? Jbhifi have the full game for $39au here. But I needed digital, changing games in VR sucks.

 

[D23]

cant wait to try this..

not looking forward to the motion sicknes

How simmy is this game because I can handle forza but get is to much for me?

 

[jacobeid]

This is much more of a sim than Horizon but if you're into motorsport you'll adjust just fine.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

If it's anything like the PC version's VR implementation it'll be one of the best VR experiences out there.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

No mention on the box of it being VR compatible sadly.

 

[lem0n]

It's a very difficult game, especially with a controller. Ive got almost 100 hours on the Steam version but I'm just starting to be able to put down nice times

And I play a LOT of racers, consistently too.

 

[GoldenCrow]

They said they will look into it dependent on the feedback from Dirt Rally VR, at the moment it isn't being built with VR in mind.

Now roll on the 17th. These next ten hours are going to be slow ones.

 

[ManeKast]

I once heard on here it described as the Soulsborne of racers, quite accurate actually (describing its difficulty and punishing gameplay).

 

[iratA]

So if I already own Dirt Rally on disc for PS4 is this a free update?

 

[vermadas]

If the Oculus version is any indication, you PSVR owners are in for a treat with this one.

Codemasters says they'll be looking at the sales/feedback of Dirt Rally PSVR to determine whether or not they add VR to Dirt 4. For the sake of VR racing fans on all platforms... please buy

Edit: Beaten

 

[onemanasylum]

Damn I want this, Q1 2017 has been nuts, my wallet is crying.

 

[j-wood]

Was this a free update to Dirt Rally? So do I just buy this:

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/dirt-rally/cid=UP4001-CUSA03766_00-DIRTRALLYLABELNA

And it gets patched with a VR version?

 

[ManeKast]

Nope. $10us I think I heard on twitter. I may be wrong.

Well this game is defiantly not for me then as I really only enjoy arcade racers and can handle light sims like in horizon. Anyway you guys enjoy because a racing game in VR sounds to dope, mabye the next need for speed

Paid for DLC/update which is fair enough really. I believe as mentioned $10/£8

I assume you have DRIVECLUBVR? If not then I suggest you grab it!

 

[iratA]

Yeah looks like a paid upgrade, on the plus side it says its a VR upgrade for the WHOLE game, ie every mode, car and track. Sounds pretty sweet.

Holy shit I did not realise this. Honestly thought it would be like trackmania/driveclub, which are smallish seperate expansions just for VR (both brilliant too).

Now to wait 29 more hrs for my download :-/

Being fair DRIVECLUBVR isn't really a small expansion, yes it's missing the DLC packs, but it's still got a 162 star campaign and full multiplayer functionality (Pretty much what the standard Driveclub shipped with) Along with WW it's probably my biggest VR timesink right now.

 

[fastest finger]

They have said they will consider adding VR to DiRT 4, based on the reception to DiRT Rally VR

Yeah I'm loving it, I just got VR a week ago and haven't sunk enough time in yet to guage length. Pretty overwhelmed atm. Good to hear it's that meaty. Heard WW is amazing too.... VR is amazing.

Don't see it on the US store.

WW is a hard one to tell people about, but it's pretty much 6-8 people sitting around a camp fire for 5 minutes with 50% of players bullshitting their hearts out to get others to believe them. Great game when you meet up with the same group of people and can easily lose a few hours just playing and laughing with each other and that "one more game" aspect.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Still waiting on Vive support "


Just use Revive, since October/November it runs perfectly.

 

[Maintenance]

Waiting for impressions, hopefully this will be good. Can't find a Vive here but I can find a PSVR.

 

[ManeKast]

My god my wallet and my time... and I'm injured/couch bound for months, dunno how anyone can fit all these games in this quater. Luckily I've played a lot of Dirt Rally on PS4 already or this would tip me over the edge... I'll get WW, sounds cool....

 

[Fordfx2]

Puts a new spin on drinking and driving! This may actually be fun without the consequences. LOL

 

[atomsk]

got my PSVR+PS4 Pro+Racing Wheel all ready to go

money in my PSN wallet... just gotta wait till tomorrow.

 

[Piichan]

If this has better graphics than Driveclub VR, I might be interested.

 

[joeblow]

Any word on PS4 Pro enhancements for VR mode?

 

[The Lamonster]

PS4 wheel recommendations GO!

 

[MGR]

PS store tells me the VR upgrade is not available to purchase because I don't own Dirt Rally. I own the disc version and it's installed.

 

[SmartWaffles]

PS store tells me the VR upgrade is not available to purchase because I don't own Dirt Rally. I own the disc version and it's installed.

Usually digital addon upgrade like this only applies to digital version of the game. Unless it is treated as a normal DLC.

 

[fastest finger]

Any word on PS4 Pro enhancements for VR mode?

The VR version supports Pro, while the base game remains unchanged.

PS store tells me the VR upgrade is not available to purchase because I don't own Dirt Rally. I own the disc version and it's installed.

Do you have the latest patch applied? That might be needed to tie the game and DLC together?

This would be a maaaaajor problem though - disc-based owners have no way of accessing this?

 

[Krisprolls]

Is the disc from the same region than the store (US / EU ...) ?

 

[itshutton]

I was just thinking about my next VR experience. This was a bit of a stealth release....

 

[MGR]

Usually? Name one example that's similar to this case.

AU disc. AU store.

AU disc. AU store.

I edited my post above, so perhaps you didn't see it. Have you updated the game with the latest patch? That might tie the game and DLC together.
