Get ready, racing fans! Assetto Corsa EVO, from Kunos Simulazioni Studios, hits Steam Early Access on January 16, 2025.
Initially, expect 20 meticulously detailed cars and 5 iconic tracks: Imola, Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Laguna Seca, and Suzuka. Even in Early Access, the developers promise stunning physics, precise handling, and incredibly realistic car behavior.
A standout feature is the free-roam mode, letting you explore the virtual world at your leisure. A major summer 2025 update will introduce a massive, fully laser-scanned open world encompassing the legendary Nürburgring and its surrounding roads, covering a staggering 1600 square kilometers, with further expansions planned.
Assetto Corsa EVO aims to be a top-tier racing simulator, rivaling industry giants like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport. This is achieved through photorealistic visuals and cutting-edge physics.
The full launch version will boast 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with future free updates adding even more content. Each circuit will be painstakingly recreated, down to the rolling tires, wet surfaces, and animated spectators, for an unparalleled sense of realism.
Enhanced car dynamics, suspension, and shock absorption contribute to the immersive experience. The Early Access release will include Driving Academy mode, challenging players to complete tracks within time limits to earn a license unlocking access to the most prestigious vehicles. This will be a key single-player component of the Early Access experience.
