Get ready, racing fans! Assetto Corsa EVO, from Kunos Simulazioni Studios, roars onto Steam Early Access on January 16, 2025.
Initially, experience the thrill of 20 meticulously detailed cars across 5 iconic tracks: Imola, Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Laguna Seca, and Suzuka. Even in Early Access, expect stunningly realistic physics, handling, and car behavior.
A standout feature is the free-roam mode, offering unparalleled freedom. A major summer 2025 update promises a massive expansion: a fully laser-scanned open world encompassing the legendary Nürburgring and its surrounding roads, spanning a breathtaking 1600 square kilometers, with continuous growth planned.
Assetto Corsa EVO boldly challenges established giants like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, boasting photorealistic visuals and cutting-edge physics. The full release aims for 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with further additions via free updates. Experience the authenticity of real-world conditions, from tire wear to wet surfaces, enhanced by lifelike animated spectators.
Developers have refined car dynamics, suspension, and shock absorption. Early Access will feature the Driving Academy mode, a time-trial challenge across available tracks, culminating in a license unlocking access to top-tier vehicles. This will be a key single-player element at launch.
