Assetto Corsa Series

2016 was quite the eventful year for Assetto Corsa. After successfully touching down for PS4 and Xbox One players after a series of delays, the title continued to expand with a number of content releases. The highlight was without a doubt the addition of Porsche: 24 vehicles spanning across three packs, showcasing a selection of the historic machinery from the Stuttgart brand. With the previous year said and done for, many may be wondering what’s next for Assetto Corsa.

It’s as they say: all good things must come to an end. After several days of teasing, PC players now have access to the third and final Porsche Pack for Assetto Corsa. Arriving alongside today’s finale is update 1.11 for the game, bringing with it an all-new Championship gameplay mode in addition to the following vehicles from the Stuttgart manufacturer:

The third and final Porsche Pack is almost here, and as usual Kunos continues the hype train for tomorrow’s pack by releasing several new teaser images showing off the contents of the pack. Here’s the rundown of everything players can expect to find in the final pack, just in time for the holidays:

The end of the year is fast approaching, and that means a whole lot of best-of lists are about to hit. The Game Awards already got their presentation out of the way (awarding Forza Horizon 3 the best sports/racing title), and now Red Bull has announced the winner of its Readers’ Racing Game of the Year poll: Assetto Corsa.

More news from the Kunos Simulazioni camp. After yesterday’s surprise shake-up of the final Porsche pack, Executive Manager Marco Massarutto took to the official Assetto Corsa blog to detail the plans for the simulator leading into 2017 — specifically, the console versions.

With the release of the third Porsche Pack only days away, Kunos have made an announcement on the official Assetto Corsa Twitter page regarding one of the cars set to be included in this month’s pack: the 2017 911 RSR.

A quick-fix update has landed for the PS4 version of Assetto Corsa. Weighing in at a relatively paltry 400 MB, it addresses a handful of issues:

Xbox One Assetto Corsa players have had a hard time lately. Not only did they have to watch from afar as PC players enjoyed the first Porsche DLC pack before them, but also the second collection of Stuttgart cars. Then, just as console gamers were promised access the former, a last-minute delay meant only PlayStation 4 sim racers got the update.

Have you been sitting on the fence in regards to the console version of Assetto Corsa? We liked it well enough in our review last summer, giving it top marks in terms of physics and feedback, if not in terms of variety. That said, a certain German marque is quite the appealing addition these days. Of course, nothing can quite match the lure of a good deal.

There’s no denying Assetto Corsa’s troubled release on consoles, and while players continue to patiently await to arrival of private lobbies, user WarriusZero has come up with a solution that gets the job done in the meantime. While the following steps are catered toward PS4 users, there should be little to no issue for Xbox One players looking to do the same.

The end is nigh. While there’s no impending doom on the horizon, the final Porsche Pack is due for Assetto Corsa this month for PC players. With it comes the end of this saga of well-received add-on content representing one of the most winningest manufacturers in motorsports history.

It’s been a long time coming, but Assetto Corsa players on PS4 now have access to Porsches in a current-generation sim. Porsche Pack Volume 1 arrives alongside the game’s 1.09 update today, bringing with it a classic layout of Silverstone and the following cars:

While the Porsche Packs are deserving of their time in the spotlight at the moment, Kunos is seemingly never content with what is and are already planning content releases well into the next year.

According to one of the latest statements from Kunos, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners of Assetto Corsa won’t be seeing some of the unique features found in the PC version. Responding to GTPlanet member Donnced on the official forum, Stefano directly ruled out the possibility of using Photomode, Showroom or viewing larger replay files on consoles:

Good news, Porsche (and Assetto Corsa) fans. After the sublime first DLC pack celebrating the German motorsport legends, Kunos has just released the second act, focusing on some more iconic Porsche models. Well, if you’re a lucky player on PC: consoles gamers still have to wait.

Less than a week remains until we finally lay our hands on the latest pile of Porsche cars in Assetto Corsa. As previously announced — and heavily teased since — this upcoming pack will again showcase the wide variety of models from Porsche’s history, with road and race cars both new and old on offer.

Assetto Corsa has had a tough start on consoles. Whilst bringing a fantastic experience in relation to it’s wheel force feedback and physics, the lack of options and features have bugged some of the fans who want to do more than just hot lap. That looks set to change however, as a recent post over on the official Assetto Corsa community forum has highlighted that private lobbies for online play are being worked on as we speak.

Kunos’ Marco Massarutto has taken to his Facebook page and has begun getting everyone excited over the contents of the second Porsche pack releasing later this month. Xbox One and PS4 owners are still waiting patiently to get their hands on last month’s inaugural pack, no thanks to the lengthy console approval processes.
