Here at the beginning of summer, Assetto Corsa Competizione sits in a rather unique position. It has the spotlight all to itself, at least until F1 2019 touches down later this month. While we first got to know it with our hands-on preview last year, we’re now back to put our spin on the retail release.
Just as Kunos Simulazioni promised, we’ve got our first look at Assetto Corsa Competizione in action. The game is on the show floor at E3 2018, giving sim racers a taste of the upcoming Steam Early Access title.
Remember when we told you Kunos had big plans for today? Well, here they are: say hello to Assetto Corsa Competizione, the official game of the Blancpain GT Series.
News of an Ultimate Edition isn’t the only Assetto Corsa development today. Kunos Simulazioni is teasing “something big”, and it lands on the official website in seven days.
As we draw closer to year’s end, Kunos is wrapping up 2017 with an end of the year blog. The entry is once again put together by Marco Massarutto, and while it offers an overview of the game’s history, it’s what it hints at for the future that has our attention.
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.
Xbox players looking forward to the latest 1.14 update for Assetto Corsa will have to wait just a little longer. Since making its way to PS4 players last month, Kunos has been mum on the update coming to the Xbox.
The poll to determine the final car in Assetto Corsa’s upcoming Ferrari 70th Anniversary Celebration Pack is back online. Players will get to help select one of the Maranello model, and it won’t be an easy decision.
The European PlayStation Store is currently offering impressive price reductions for a variety of driving titles on the PS4. With price slashed by up to 77%, these offers will certainly appeal to players seeking bargains before the summer holiday period kicks in.
2017 is shaping up to be a massive year for racing games, in part due to the sudden (and very welcome) availability of Porsche across the genre. On the face of it this is great news, but one manufacturer seems increasingly rare on the car lists of upcoming games: Ruf Automobile.
Assetto Corsa console players are going to need to exercise just a little bit more patience. The upcoming update for the title has fallen prey to various submission blocking issues, according to the official Facebook page.

When Assetto Corsa landed on consoles last summer, it received a mixed reception. In our own review of the game, we found the much-lauded physics and force feedback were tempered by a general lack of polish. To its credit, Kunos Simulazioni has been constantly working on the game since, both by bringing new content, and refining the game’s existing features and performance.
If you play Assetto Corsa on consoles, chances are you’ve had a bit of a grass-is-greener feeling of late. The PC platform—the original home of the game—welcomed the third Porsche Pack DLC a few days before Christmas 2016, and over a month later, there’s still no firm date for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It sounds like that will be changing soon, however.
