Assetto Corsa Series

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.

After months of teasing, Porsche Pack 1 is now available to PC players for Assetto Corsa. A bombshell announcement made earlier this year, the inaugural car pack pays tribute to the German marque, promising to deliver “the best Porsche experience ever.”

With Porsche Pack Volume 1 set to touch down tomorrow, Kunos Simulazioni have hinted that a slow trickle of information regarding the contents of Volumes 2 & 3 will arrive in due time. It appears Steam hasn’t received the memo though, and have revealed everything in one fell swoop on their database page.

We’re only hours away from the first seven Porsches arriving in players’ hands in Assetto Corsa. As detailed last week, PC players will be getting the first crack at the Stuttgart manufacturer, with PS4 and XB1 owners slated to receive Porsche Pack Volume 1 in November.

Kunos continues to tease the contents of the upcoming Porsche Pack for Assetto Corsa with only a week left on the clock. After making the news official last week, the team is at it again — this time taking to the game’s Facebook page, detailing one of the seven cars set to be included in the first pack: the Porsche 918 Spyder.

After months of teasing and an expected release window falling through the cracks, Kunos’ Marco Massarutto has made it official: Volume 1 of the Porsche DLC is coming to Assetto Corsa on PC in just over one week’s time, on October 25th.

Kunos Simulazioni is certainly making the most of its deal with Porsche, at least in terms of pre-release hype. Just last week, Marco Massarutto teased the entire contents of the first of three Porsche packs scheduled to land in Assetto Corsa before the end of 2016. Over the weekend, he moved onto Volume 2, sharing an image of 718’s, both old and new.

Always at the mercy of Microsoft’s approval process, Xbox One owners can finally rejoice: Assetto Corsa’s first major update is now available.

Teasing. The slow reveal. Whatever you want to call it, we’d like to submit the latest image from Kunos Simulazioni’s Marco Massarutto as a textbook example. Originally shared on his personal Facebook page, the image up above shows the first seven Porsches set to land in Assetto Corsa, blurred enough to not make the exact contents obvious.

Things are looking to kick off on the right foot for console players this month, that is, if you’re currently playing Assetto Corsa on the PlayStation 4.
