DiRT 3 Gets Steamworks & Complete Upgrade

If you're someone who has been messaging, tweeting and blogging about how much you want DiRT 3 to have Steamworks support instead of Games for Windows Live - then you're in good company.

So many people have made it clear over the past few years that they won't stand for GfWL anymore, that Codemasters have decided to remove it!

What's more, if you own DiRT 3, you now own the Complete Edition which has all of the DLC completely free! With Steam Trading Cards!

If you currently have the GFWL version of DiRT 3 in your Steam Library you should now also have access to the DiRT 3 Complete Edition which should already be there your list of owned games. To play it simply select it from your library and click install.

However if you own a boxed PC copy of DiRT 3 or have a Games For Window Live CD Key you can now activate that CD key on Steam.

To do so simply follow the below steps:

• Load up your Steam Client
• Click “Add a game” found in the bottom left of the window
• Click “Activate a product on Steam”
• Click “Next”
• Follow the instructions and when asked enter your CD Key into the “Product Code” box (be sure to use CAPS and include the hyphens)
• Hit “Next”
• Your code will then be verified and the DiRT 3 Complete Edition will be added to your library
• And you’re good to go!

Those who originally purchased the game via Steam will notice that the now old GFWL version of DiRT 3 will still be in your library. You will still be able to play this version but it will still include Games for Windows Live and you won’t have access to the Complete Edition content – nothing will have changed with that older version.

With the good news, however, must come bad. The save files are incompatible - so you can't use a non-Complete Edition save with the Complete Edition. But that just gives you an excuse to play it again.
