DiRT3 Ditches Games for Windows Live and Adds Steamworks Support

DiRT3, the latest in a series spun-off from the Colin McRae Rally games, is thankfully abandoning the risible Games for Windows Live in favour of Steamworks. In addition, developer Codemasters is upgrading every copy of the game to the Complete Edition, meaning everyone who bought the standard game is getting all extra content for free, presumably as a thank you to all the fans who endured GFWL for the past year.

The game will be upgraded automatically via Steam. Instructions for activation, courtesy of Dark Side of Gaming, are as follows:

• 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
