About the Game

EARLY ACCESS 4 CONTENT (INCLUDING DAILY RACING PORTAL)

Assetto Corsa EVO’s 0.4 Early Access release delivers a major step forward in the development of the title, introducing the Daily Racing Portal, 10 new, iconic vehicles, and five legendary circuits, alongside substantial updates to physics, audio, graphics, gameplay, multiplayer and UI systems.

About Assetto Corsa EVO

Assetto Corsa EVO raises the bar of realism that has made the franchise one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade even higher.

As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning across years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars. The most iconic representation of the automotive and motorsport world. Each vehicle is reproduced through Kunos in-house physics and graphic engine simulating mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, combined with the fidelity of the circuits created using Laserscan technology.

Throughout Early Access, you will experience a continuously expanding range of vehicles, tracks, and game modes, evolving towards our full 1.0 launch.

With the launch of a new KUNOS Simulazioni proprietary, high-performance photorealistic engine, VR and triple screen support have become first-class features and the new mathematical model meticulously simulates asphalt performance in different dynamic weather conditions that guarantees an authentic and realistic experience which will redefine the standards that have made Assetto Corsa globally renowned.

• Refined tyre inertia and slip ratio ensure more natural traction behaviour under braking and acceleration.

• New grip model balances higher baseline adhesion with progressive combined-slip limits, rewarding precision and car control.

• Advanced tyre thermal and wear behaviour simulates temperature, degradation and compound lifecycles in greater detail.

• Unified hybrid and KERS/ERS systems for authentic power deployment and recovery logic.

• Enhanced drivetrain wobble model introduces mechanical elasticity and nonlinear stiffness for richer force feedback.

• Electronic brake bias, turbo, damper and differential controls are now fully adjustable from the cockpit.

• Improved DCT and solid axle behaviour, plus realistic rolling resistance for truer top speeds.

Major Audio Improvements

The audio system receives extensive upgrades to enhance engine clarity, transmission feel, turbo behaviour and environmental detail.

• Turbo pitch linked to boost and RPM.

• Reworked transmission sound sets.

• More detailed VTEC crossover cues.
