That’s according to Koch Media’s head of sales for publishing Greg Whalley, who also claims that the title will be popular with a mainstream audience.
Other recent hit rally games includes Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo and WRC 5.
Developer Codemasters released Dirt Rally on PC in Early Access in April 2015, and is launching on PS4, Xbox One and PC courtesy of Koch Media on April 5th.
Dirt Rally is expected to achieve strong sell through, both at launch and beyond,” Whalley said.
There is no doubt it will be the best-selling rally game to date on current gen consoles and will break out to a wider audience.”
Senior product manager Nick Turner added: Codemasters put emphasis on community feedback, and after some 80m miles of road testing, it has developed what many are heralding as not just the best rally game, but one of the best racing games ever created.”
