Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games have revealed the final Porsche DLC and build 1.12 will be released for PlayStation 4 February 13th with Xbox One to follow...
Unfortunately Xbox One players will be left disappointed today after Kunos Simulazioni and 505 games confirmed the upcoming update and Porsche DLC has been delayed, with no revised release date given from the developers.
This will be a considerable blow for owners of the Microsoft machine, even more so considering the bad taste left in consumers mouths as they wait over two months to receive the same DLC package already enjoyed by those running Assetto Corsa on PC. To say that the latest delay will come as a bitter pill for these players is an understatement, and one can only hope that 505 Games and Kunos can very quickly rectify the issues and release the patch as soon as possible.
On a more positive note at least PlayStation 4 gamers have something to look forward to, with the new update due to bring the game up to version 1.12 and add a couple of new fixes plus the free Porsche Macan and several new 'Special Event' options. Additionally players will now be able to purchase the third and final Porsche DLC, with seven new cars due to be added. Interestingly the Vol. III DLC will not include the 2017 RSR, this will be added at a later date in a mirror of the deal offered to PC gamers, with the car to be added at no additional cost to V3 DLC owners.
