03 December, 2017, by Parker Slovinsky

The company named Feral Interactive has made an announcement that the DiRT Rally, a popular game imitating the rallies, became eventually available to all macOS users. Thus, DiRT Rally that has been released on November, 16 and uploaded by Codemasters for Windows OS and consoles, is one of the most realistic rally games in the game industry.

Thanks to the complex management and the highest risks, the gameplay will offer you exploration and mastering of 3 different areas: Hillclimb, Rally, and Rallycross.  This offer will be available on Steam for 59.99 dollars.

General Information on the Game

Some people define Codematers DiRT Rally as the best racing game that is available on the present day (including GRID series and the F1 as well). However, this existed in the past before the DiRT 4 was released.

According to Game Informer resource:

Dirt Rally was an amazing title that simply lacked features. Dirt 4 doesn’t merely fill some of those holes; it gives the franchise a rich backdrop that makes the game the best in the series.

Lack of securing in the latest version of DiRT appeared to be disappointing for gamers, however, I understand the epic about Feral’s situation.

They fought for more than a year with Metal. Modification of Linux version of DiRT Rally existed in March 2016, and, probably, in the shortest period, the plan was to release a version for the Mac devices. However, the implementation of OpenGL by Apple has been too old, and Metal was so new that the service was not finished.

Now, Metal, in the end, is ready, and postponing the whole project is quite humiliating.

However, this is a great and interesting game anyway with 86/100 of Metascore. In addition, it offers more than 40 most recognized autos and 6 mass rallies with70 levels to finish. Undoubtedly, it will get its popularity among the best racing games on macOS.

You can buy it on Feral Store or Steam for 59.99 dollars. Dirt Rally will soon be released in the Mac App Store as well.

For a long period, the port stayed in the standby mode (the main one was enveloped in March 2016 summer when it still was a rumor, for example, like the iPhone X). However, it is likely that the release of macOS High Sierra appeared to be a game changer, for example, because the DiRT Rally will be supporting Metal 2, which is another latest Apple’s graphics API.
