Slow week in new releases ahead of the following week’s XBox Series X and PS5 launches. The rest of us writers will definitely owe whoever is up next week a beer for covering all the launch titles. Mostly titles that have been out on other platforms coming to Nintendo Switch with a few multi-platform racers thrown in.

Fun fact while this is Dirt 5, it's actually the 14th title in the Colin McRae Rally series of games and then 8th to have Dirt in the title. I think video game math might actually be harder than toilet paper math...It's an off road racing game with tracks around the world.
