The latest version of Assetto Corsa is now available on Xbox, bringing Kunos’ sim racer up to version 1.15.
Weighing in at 1.5GB, the patch brings with it plenty of improvements to a game that just recently celebrated its first anniversary. Chief amongst them is the inclusion of the Ready To Race car pack, which brings 10 new cars to the franchise. We detailed the pack way back in May, but a quick refresher on what it brings:
- Audi R18 e-tron quattro 2014
- Audi R8 LMS 2016
- Audi TT Cup 2016
- Audi TT RS (VLN) 2013
- Lotus 3-Eleven
- Maserati MC12 GT1
- McLaren 570S
- McLaren P1 GTR
- Toyota Celica ST185 Turbo
- Toyota TS040 Hybrid
The Ready To Race DLC isn’t actually available yet, however. It briefly showed up on the Xbox Marketplace last week, before being pulled. On the other side of the fence, the PlayStation blog lists it coming on-line tomorrow, September 13. The 1.15 update isn’t yet available on the PlayStation 4, but we expect it to land later today.
In addition to support for the car pack, 1.15 introduces customizable button mapping. Players have demanded this feature since the beginning, so it should be very welcome. The full change log is available at the bottom of this post.
For Xbox players, perhaps the most important feature the new patch brings is the ability to play the game. Last week, reports started coming in that the game refused to launch on Microsoft’s system. We were afflicted by this glitch, but it appears to be fixed after downloading the patch.
With the console versions now more or less at par with the PC one, we wonder (and hope) the update process will be more unified moving forward. With the promise of a new Ferrari car pack on the horizon, can you blame us?
