Assetto Corsa Competizione | Now Available On Console

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games have today released their Assetto Corsa Competizione simulation on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

PC players will undoubtedly already be well aware of Assetto Corsa Competizione. Having released in Early Access back in September of 2018, the official simulation of the SRO GT World Challenge series has undergone considerable development and transformation in the following months - now enjoying the status of one of the most well regarded racing simulations currently available.

Back in March, Kunos Simulazioni revealed the game will be heading to both Xbox One and PS4 this summer, and with much anticipation from the console community, release day has finally arrived! It's here!

Released today, console players now have access to both the physical and digital versions of the game, and those who pre ordered also get access to the Intercontinental GT Challenge DLC, that includes Suzuka, Bathurst, Laguna Seca and Kyalami as well as numerous additional liveries for the cars already within the game.

While private lobbies won’t be in the console edition of ACC at launch, Kunos have announced that they will be coming at a later date. Stay tuned for more information!

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Would also like to see something like GTE, LMP and Lemans. Would be kinda dope, but likely will not happen.

Multiple problems being reported on Xbox. The 8 (edit now 12) reviews currently on the Xbox Store page are all rated 1 star (the lowest possible) with descriptions of unplayable framerate, wheels (Logi, TX & Fanatec) not being detected (or no steering/braking but only buttons working). The headlights at night so dim driving becomes almost impossible. Some are encountering the game crashing when selecting any car other than the Lambo.

Giving away 'free' pre-order DLC that won't be available until...soon...was another stunt as the delay wasn't mentioned anywhere.

Another shocking console launch from 505 games, not so much Kunos other than reputation, as apparently the port was made by a company called d3t ltd.

505/Kunos should have waited for the next-gen consoles and delivered a great experience, but once again it looks like cash is king and outweighs delivering a good product.

(Edited to add Logi G920 also not working on Xbox, something of an own goal for a racing game!)

Thank's for the advice, very close to buy...

Any chance to cross-plataform?

No

I hope they cant join us online! Ie. PC users. They will be using handsets and driving using the follow camera.
perhaps we should have cockpit view by default. Race properly using cockpit view.
bet this will jerk some reactions!!

Pankykapus a DEV from Kunos said:

There will be no crossplay.

There will be no Nordschleife.

There will be no WEC.

There will be no classic F1.

There will be no classic GT1 and no modern GT2.

So no chance of seeing console players online.

I know this looks like bizarre, but my friends who only plays playstation never will buy a pc gamer.

Wanna bet ACC will miraculously work 1000000% better on next gen consoles?

 

[snezana]

I hope they don't degrade the PC version graphics and features so it will run better on consoles.

30fps on consoles - I'll bet that's painful.

 

[VirtuaIceMan]

apparently the port was made by a company called d3t ltd.

They did the port of Shenmue 1+2 to modern consoles and PCs, which had some bugs. On the plus side they did a lot of patches to improve the games.

You'd be surprised.... it's not on consoles. Might be ona PC. Don't know if you ever played/saw DriveClub. That was also locked to 30FPS and was one of the best looking/performing race games seen on consoles.

 

[shushkata]

I was all supportive, wanted to help Kunos and buy the game for the PS4 too. BUT ! they told the community that if the game cannot run well on the current gen they wont port it. Now we have a visually downgraded game that runs with 30fps !?????? No way this is a suitable state of the game. Lost me here Kunos....

Shoot man, that was the one reason that I didn't care for Driveclub after about a month, well that and it was way too arcade for my liking. Drop the resolution and give me 60fps because 30fps in a racing game is just wrong.
