Time to freshen up your look and end the year in style, with a host of new customisation items in the Snow Limits pack. For your Profile, find five new lanyards, stickers and card backgrounds to make use of, whilst in the Livery Editor, try out three new fill patterns in your custom designs.

The Snow Limits pack for DIRT 5 is completely free for all players. Find the new Playgrounds items in the Objects menu, head to the Garage to see the two new liveries, and go to Profile to select the other customisation items. Snow Limits continues DIRT 5’s post-launch content plan, including DLC drops throughout 2021 featuring new cars, Career events and much more, with exclusive additions for Amplified Edition and Year One Upgrade players. We'll have more information regarding new content in the new year.
