While those residing in North America have just a little bit longer of a wait on their hands, Assetto Corsa has finally touched down in Europe and the UK after an arduous adventure. It goes without saying that the acclaimed racer is already being put through its paces, and those currently enjoying the game have had a several hour head-start to enjoy some newer content.

Assetto Corsa has landed on consoles today (at least, in Europe and the UK). Players on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will get to enjoy the title before it launches in North America this coming Tuesday. If you happen to own both consoles, the video above should help you decide which one to opt for.

Today’s the day. It’s been a long, winding road, but Assetto Corsa is now available on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Europe and the UK.

With Assetto Corsa’s European release just hours away, and some lucky few already grabbing a hold of copies being sold ahead of time, console racers are finally going to have the opportunity to experience what all of the chatter has been about.

Assetto Corsa is arriving on consoles in two days. Some lucky individuals have already found copies in stores, while we here at GTPlanet are just beginning to get our feet wet with a pre-release copy of our own. Chatter about the game has hit a fever pitch in the staff room, so we’ve collected a small list of the five things we’re most looking forward to in Assetto Corsa’s console version. Much like the similar article for F1 2016 last week, this is in no particular order.

With no delays in sight, only days remain until the console version of Assetto Corsa is available to the public. PS4 and Xbox versions of the game are scheduled to see daylight on August 26 in Europe and August 30 in North America. To further increase anticipation, Kunos Simulazioni has launched a sheet listing all the supported driving accessories you’ll be able to use in the game:

We’re just days away from Assetto Corsa making a name for itself on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Both Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games are continuing full steam ahead, releasing a new trailer showcasing the game.

Assetto Corsa’s console release is just over a week away, and to bide the time between now and then, Team VVV has uploaded a new video to their official YouTube channel showcasing the entire roster of 90+ cars that will be available at launch.

Team Redline is one of the world’s most prominent online racing teams, founded all the way back in 2000. Today, it claims some of sim-racing and motorsport’s fastest drivers, including iRacing star Greger Huttu and Formula 1 pilot Max Verstappen.

With Assetto Corsa’s console debut imminent, Kunos have taken it upon themselves to reveal the Triple3 Pack for PC, set to compliment the game’s European release in two weeks time.

In the world of driving simulators, a lot of attention has been focused on Assetto Corsa recently. The highly-regarded PC sim is finally coming out on consoles in the next 2 weeks and thanks to Los Santos Sheriff on Youtube, we have some honest impressions about how the game is shaping up on PS4.

After Kunos posted their own video highlighting how Assetto Corsa controls with a regular gamepad on console, many fans of the game on PC felt it wasn’t very representative of how the game actually behaves with a controller.

With Assetto Corsa due to launch this month, the official Assetto Corsa Youtube channel has uploaded the above video to highlight what those on controller can expect against those with a dedicated steering wheel in terms of car control. Due to the PC-centric development approach that many sims have these days, the handling on controller has become an important metric when players factor in if they should purchase a game.

While they’re certainly a far cry away from the 442 found in the original PC game, the list of Xbox One achievements for Assetto Corsa have been outed by tracking website Exophase ahead of its release later this month.

As has been talked about all week long, the Summer Special episode of Kunos’ developer stream, Look What the Cat Hacked In, revealed a respectable portion of what the team has planned for the future of Assetto Corsa over the coming months. Kunos’ Marco Massarutto had even more to share regarding the racer; the immediate focus becoming what wouldn’t be included, at least not in the first game.

If for some reason or another you’ve missed the news, Assetto Corsa has gone “gold” for consoles. There won’t be any further bumps along the road affecting its scheduled release dates later this month. With that in mind, things have been steadily heating up over the past several weeks and with no end in sight, there’s even more content to look forward to.

When the team at Kunos Simulazioni originally announced that the Stuttgart manufacturer would be coming to Assetto Corsa later this year, it was a bombshell reveal no one expected. The partnership would result in 20 of the most iconic machines manufactured by the brand across 2 individual DLC packs. As it stands, things have taken a turn for the better.

Well now this is an odd pairing. Kunos Simulazioni has continued to tease the contents of its upcoming Porsche expansion packs for Assetto Corsa, hot on the heels of previous hints (first the 935/78, then the Carerra RSR 3.0). The latest two additions certainly cover a broad spectrum: the 2017 Porsche Panamera and the 1973 Porsche 917/30.
