The Game Of The Year Edition-CODEX includes all the DLCs and updates released for the game, making it the most comprehensive edition available. The CODEX edition is a cracked version of the game, which allows players to experience the game without the need for a valid license.

For DiRT Rally 2.0 , the CODEX release became the definitive “preserved” version of the GOTY edition—especially after the game was delisted from some stores due to music licensing (the iconic “Don’t Stop Me Now” removal).

The CODEX release of DiRT Rally 2.0 Game Of The Year Edition is a pirated version of the game, cracked by the CODEX group. This release allows players to bypass the game's official activation and online requirements, enabling them to play the game without an internet connection.
