DiRT Showdown’s range of racing events challenge players to negotiate jumps, pinch-points, tyre-walls, barrels, and more in frenzied races where no holds are barred. Racing events include Domination, where players must set the fastest time through sectors on the track, Eliminator, where last place drops out of the race on a time out, and Race Off in which players must do whatever it takes to get over the line first.

DiRT Showdown features split-screen multiplayer, eight-player online racing, on and off-line quick-fire party games and YouTube integration all come as standard.
