DiRT Rally, the off-road racing sim from Codemasters, just got a brand new Oculus Rift trailer. Even better news: the VR version is officially coming to both the Oculus Store and pushing out to existing PC users simultaneously on July 11th.

Codemasters today released a new Oculus Rift update trailer alongside a blog post stating that the Rift-compatible version would be pushed out to existing PC players and the Oculus Store next Monday.

Due to some ambiguity of a post made by Nvidia yesterday announcing the game’s July launch window, which initially stated that “DiRT Rally VR will launch with on [sic] the Oculus Store, while existing PC players will receive the update via Steam this month…” we weren’t exactly sure how the game would launch—whether it be an Oculus timed exclusive or otherwise.

Nvidia’s post has since been corrected to read “DiRT Rally VR will launch on the Oculus Store July 11th, and existing PC players will receive the update via Steam the same day.”

There’s still no word from the developers on when/if the Vive will receive support.
