Assetto Corsa Console Release

Today marks the one year anniversary of Assetto Corsa landing on consoles. To commemorate the occasion, we’re taking a look back at Kunos Simulazioni’s sim racer.

There’s a local brewery that has gained a lot of fans in Toronto since it started selling beers at the turn of the millennium. Despite winning numerous awards, the team has bucked the craft beer trend of branching out, opting to exclusively stick to the original product their reputation has been built on. The motto? “Do one thing really, really well.”

Assetto Corsa recently completed its roll-out on consoles, arriving in North America yesterday. Gamers looking to maximize the available cars could seek out pre-order exclusives from various retailers, in the form of the Performance and Prestige packs. For those unable to do so — or for the significant portion of players that pre-order digitally — Kunos Simulazioni have now announced the latter pack will be available for purchase at a later date.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Assetto Corsa has been one of the most sought-after sims since Kunos announced that the acclaimed PC racer would make its way to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One more than one year ago. Console players anxious to try the game for themselves have been reassured on more than one occasion that the physics would not be ‘watered down’ when it debuts on both platforms.

The folks at Kunos Simulazioni don’t seem to understand what rest is. During E3 last month, where every single developer was vying for the spotlight, Kunos announced arguably the biggest, most surprising sim racing news: a little company named Porsche would be joining Assetto Corsa’s stable.
