Codemasters have released the latest update for their Dirt Rally title, bringing the game to version 1.0.

The “Winter Wonderland” pack does not only add two brand new rally cars and snowy Swedish stages, it also finishes Dirt Rally’s journey from being an incomplete Early Access title to a full product that started all the way back in April.

While Codemasters are now working on the retail PC & console versions that are expected to hit the shelves in April 2016, PC users are still given the chance to purchase the digital copy for a reduced price as the Steam version is available for 38,24??? until December 14.
