Get ready, racing fans! Kunos Simulazioni Studios is bringing Assetto Corsa EVO to Steam Early Access on January 16, 2025.
This initial release boasts an impressive lineup: 20 meticulously detailed cars and 5 iconic tracks—Imola, Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Laguna Seca, and Suzuka. Even in Early Access, expect top-tier physics, responsive controls, and incredibly realistic car handling.
A standout feature is the free-roam mode, offering unparalleled freedom. A major summer 2025 update promises a game-changer: a vast, laser-scanned open world encompassing the legendary Nürburgring and its surrounding roads. This expansive environment, initially covering 1600 square kilometers, will grow steadily through future updates.
Assetto Corsa EVO aims to challenge the reigning champions, Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, with its photorealistic visuals and advanced physics engine. The full launch will feature 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with many more to come via free post-launch updates. Every circuit will be meticulously recreated, down to the rolling tires, wet pavement, and even animated spectators.
The developers have also refined car dynamics, suspension, and shock absorption. Early Access will include the Driving Academy mode, featuring time trials on the available tracks. Mastering this academy and earning your license unlocks access to the game's most coveted vehicles.
