<p>Today we<br />
bring the news so many sim racers have been waiting for! We’re thrilled to<br />
announce that <strong><em>Assetto Corsa Competizione</em></strong>, the Official GT World Challenge<br />
game, will launch on Xbox One June 23. </p>
<p>The road to<br />
get here has been incredibly exciting for everyone at 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni<br />
and we can’t wait to bring <em>ACC</em> to Xbox One later this year. In the<br />
meantime, let me tell you more about what to expect… </p>

<p><strong>The Official<br />
Gt Challenge Series Game</strong></p>
<p>As mentioned,<br />
<em>Assetto Corsa Competizione</em> is the Official GT World Challenge game,<br />
giving players the opportunity to experience the real atmosphere of the GT3<br />
championship with manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Lamborghini,<br />
and Porsche. Featuring official cars, tracks, drivers and teams, our players<br />
will be able to jump into Sprint and Endurance races, as well as the iconic Spa<br />
24hr race, in both single and multiplayer modes. </p>
<p><strong>Laserscan<br />
Technology </strong></p>
<p><em>Assetto Corsa<br />
Competizione</em> features<br />
some of the most well-known circuits on the planet, brought to life through<br />
Laserscan technology. This tech enables our dev team to recreate circuits with<br />
the highest level of accuracy, so expect to feel every bump and kerb on track<br />
that you would in the cockpit of a real car. Those that know Kunos Simulazioni<br />
know that this dev team is all about attention to detail, so tracks such as<br />
Silverstone, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring are going to be real fun<br />
to race on.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Realism</strong></p>
<p><em>ACC</em> takes full advantage of Unreal Engine 4,<br />
bringing day and night races, photorealistic weather conditions and graphics,<br />
motion capture animations, improved tyre and aerodynamic models and more to<br />
game. The level of immersion you’ll experience from a driver’s perspective is<br />
incredible. In fact, we’ve already seen GT World Challenge drivers jump on the<br />
PC edition of <em>ACC</em>, which is surreal to see. If anything, this is solid<br />
proof that Kunos developed something very close to the real-life experience. </p>
<p><strong>Intercontinental<br />
GT Pack DLC</strong></p>
<p>Players who<br />
decide to pre-order <em>Assetto Corsa Competizione</em> will receive free access<br />
to the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC at launch, which features four of the most<br />
iconic international circuits from around the world: Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit<br />
(South Africa), Suzuka Circuit (Japan), Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca (United<br />
States), and Mount Panorama Circuit (New South Wales Australia). What’s more,<br />
this DLC will come with over 45 new car liveries, 30 new teams and 50 new<br />
drivers, along with all-new game modes from the Intercontinental GT Challenge,<br />
powered by Pirelli. (There’s a lot to be excited about here!) </p>

<p>For those who<br />
don’t want to pre-order, don’t worry! The Intercontinental GT Pack comes to<br />
Xbox One this Summer as a standalone paid DLC. </p>
<p><strong>Race to The<br />
Finish Line</strong></p>
<p>Over the<br />
coming weeks, we’ll be giving our community more info on the console edition of<br />
Assetto Corsa Competizione over on our <a href="http://www.twitter.com/AC_assettocorsa">official AC</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/505_Games">505 Games</a> Twitter channels. Today<br />
has been super exciting for the team and as a Community Manager, it’s awesome<br />
to finally be able to talk about today’s announcement. We’ve seen the console<br />
question asked so many times so it’s nice to finally be able to say yes, <em>ACC</em><br />
is coming to Xbox One June 23! See you trackside!</p>
