Saber Interactive has announced a huge USA Tour Update for Dakar Desert Rally, marking the final instalment of the season pass DLC.

It’s a timely update, as it coincides with the real-world 2024 Dakar Rally, and adds a “massive new map with tons of content” to the game as part of the season pass, or available separately for 8.99 GBP | 9.99 EUR | 9.99 USD.

The developer says “The premium USA Tour DLC introduces a vast, 256-square-kilometer map spanning the Great American West and Southwest, letting drivers explore incredible locations inspired by renowned landmarks like the Grand Canyon, Nevada desert, and Yellowstone National Park!”, adding “experience the thrill of 20 new stages in Sport game mode and 12 stages in Professional game mode in competitive rally raids”, before asking the question: “With 140 new treasures out there to discover, are you up for the challenge?”
