But do you know why I’m not so bothered about that with this new generation? Because we have Dirt 5 instead.ĭirt 5 is the fifth game in the series. The days of buying a new console and a new Ridge Racer are gone. We haven’t had a proper Ridge Racer in over a decade, and if you’re talking proper numbered entries the last one was nearly 15 years ago. The PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita, Xbox 360 and 3DS were all blessed with a Ridge Racer game in the launch line-up, and they were always a safe bet because you knew you were going to get two things: a shitload of arcade racing greatness, and something visually impressive that would make your new console DANCE on day one.

There was a time when the launch of a new system often meant something almost equally as exciting: the launch of a new Ridge Racer game to accompany it. Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC, Stadia (Xbox Series X version reviewed)
