ACC | GT4, British Pack and Console Release

[Paul Jeffrey]

Assetto Corsa Competizione fans rejoice - lots and lots of exciting new announcements have been made about the simulation.

So, where to start? Well first up, this summer we are going to be in receipt of no less than 10 new car models for the simulation, with the arrival of the much hoped for GT4 paid DLC. Yes, GT4 cars are coming to Assetto Corsa Competizione! The new pack is expected to drop this summer for PC, with console versions receiving access to the DLC in fall.

In other news from the studio, the 'British Pack' DLC has been confirmed for a release this winter on both console and PC. Adding three new circuits that make up the full British GT calendar (Oulton Park, Snetterton and Donington Park according to the 2020 British GT Calendar). Little is known about the release at this stage, so no news on liveries / cars from the British GT Series, but stay tuned for more info as and when it becomes available..

Finally, Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games have confirmed that Assetto Corsa Competizione will be releasing on both Xbox One and PS4 as early as June 23rd 2020 - bringing this outstanding simulation to console gamers for the first time.

You can check out the full press release below:

Hi everyone! Today is a super exciting day for the Assetto Corsa Competizione team as we bring the news we know so many of you have been waiting for!

KUNOS Simulazioni and 505 Games are thrilled to announce that Assetto Corsa Competizione is heading to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

ACC will be available both digitally and at physical retail on June 23rd, 2020. What’s more, players who pre-order the console edition of ACC will also gain access to the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC on release day, which expands the Assetto Corsa Competizione experience to include the official Intercontinental GT Challenge. The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC is scheduled to launch later this summer.

The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione introduces four iconic international circuits from four different continents – Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit (South Africa), Suzuka Circuit (Japan), Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca (United States) and Mount Panorama Circuit (New South Wales Australia). Players owning these tracks will extend the GT Series to the Intercontinental GT Challenge by Pirelli, providing a challenging driving experience using an exclusive layout finely reproduced with Laserscan technology, allowing for extreme track reproduction precision and detail. The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC also adds more than 45 new car liveries, 30 new teams and 50 new drivers along with all-new game modes from the real-life Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli.

Assetto Corsa Competizione allows players to experience the real atmosphere of the GT3 championship, competing against official drivers, teams, cars and circuits reproduced in-game with the highest level of accuracy ever achieved. Sprint, Endurance and Spa 24 Hours races come to life with an incredible level of realism, in both single and multiplayer modes.

The launch of Assetto Corsa Competizione on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is part of a full plan that will cover both PC and console instalments of the game:

• This April, the free Assetto Corsa Competizione v1.4 update for PC Steam will introduce new features – including the car showroom, new driver/car personalization choices and additional options for multiplayer servers – and lots of improvements of the game features, UI and algorithms.
• The GT4 Pack paid DLC, adding +10 new GT4 cars, will be available this summer on PC Steam, and this fall on consoles.
• The British Pack paid DLC, offering 3 new iconic circuits that complete the 7-race calendar of the British GT Championship, will be available this winter for both PC Steam and consoles.

Stay tuned for more info! Exciting times ahead.

I really can´t wait for the GT4 cars will be a nice update

 

[Retrolux]

Great one! Love those british track and I expect a even more refined and polished and peformance optimized sim with 1.4 and later. A console release will help on that front (for PC as well for sure) to make it a solid release for the hardware specs. Wreckfest made also a huge step up in preperation for the console version.

Any info on cross play?

Not that I have seen.

 

[Romandevison]

get ready, rF2 will announce they will release the GT4 DLC too.

Marcel already talked about GT4 or TCR.

 

[Steve Worrell]

I agree with you guys, but with this announcement, many will just not take it that seriously as compared to iRacing, etc. This sort of cements that fact all the more now.

I don't follow what you mean. Are you saying that people don't consider ACC to be on the same level in terms of simulation compared to iracing and rf2?

Excited about what is coming to the PC release, I love this game.

Understand the concerns around console, by all means we can predict on what may happen but we don’t really know. Let’s wait and see what transpires.

Those asking for different cars such as open wheelers, can’t work out If you are messing or just don’t understand the series? You are clearly after a different game, many out there that meet those requirements, go and check them out!

Let me try to explain this.

I know that there are several other sims out there which feature prototypes, open wheelers or historic content. And I also have them all (Raceroom, Iracing, AC, Automobilista). However I wish I could enjoy some cars which I prefer over (boring) modern GT cars in the ACC environment with a customizable championship, weather, excellent physics etc. The whole ACC package is great but it offers the wrong cars imo (don’t feel offended). Or to put it nicer: it’s too one-sided.

But yeah, that’s just my problem…you guys go and enjoy ACC.

Now Sebring and Lemans Then it is ready

You forgot the Nordschleife, another well known track from the SRO GT World Challenge series.

But it's based on a series? So it's licensed, I think you're asking for something unfairly here. Imagine asking F1 2019 to have DTM?

 

[Alex72]

Re consoles 30FPS, did you guys see the config tweaks someone did in a thread here on RD? I went from horrible performance on triple screen to 60FPS fluid and i cant tell the difference in graphics quality. Im guessing they do something like that on consoles. Check it out if you havent. Cant remember the thread. Have to check when i get home in case someone else knows and post it.

Yes, it’s my personal problem tbf.
I don’t like modern GT cars but see a sim with much potential by a developer who gave us Assetto Corsa, one of my absolute favourites. But because it's GT only ACC is not for me.

It’s like seeing a woman with a godlike body but the face is meh.

 

[Graham Botha]

I can't resist, so I'm going to have to be THAT guy...

This is going to ROCK on PsVR

 

[MarkR]

It’s like seeing a woman with a godlike body but the face is meh.

Over here we call that a BoBFoC - Body off Baywatch, Face off Crimewatch.

Has relevance for ACC on console too it'll be a PoPFoC - Physics off PC, Framerate off Crysis.

 

[eSEA One]

It’s like seeing a woman with a godlike body but the face is meh.

It's not her body or her face it's all about her personality and character, if you get any of the other two its just a bonus!

Nah, I can’t deny that I have eyes.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

this is getting interesting ...

 

[General_RIMT]

Crossplay between console and PC?

That would be amazing and allow me to play with my friends on xbox

 

[sissydriver]

long time not active here on rdp - this "my sim is the best" behaviour is just so....


ridiculous little boys in the sandpit.

lets enjoy whats out there and have fun. this endless complaining - grow up guys!

 

[justfdl]

Well... I don't imagine an offical driver saying the game is mediocre . It's the official Blancpain GT game. I mean, it's a good sim, but we have to be realistic with the marketing.

I don't think it's fair to say they're just saying it's good because they race in that series.

Just watch the review videos of Perel or Thiim of the earlier stages of ACC, they had a lot of hard criticism to say, Thiim especially was unhappy about the car reactions on the curbs.
