Assetto Corsa Competizione is Racing to Xbox One This June



Today we

bring the news so many sim racers have been waiting for! We’re thrilled to

announce that Assetto Corsa Competizione, the Official GT World Challenge

game, will launch on Xbox One June 23.

The road to

get here has been incredibly exciting for everyone at 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni

and we can’t wait to bring ACC to Xbox One later this year. In the

meantime, let me tell you more about what to expect…



The Official

Gt Challenge Series Game

As mentioned,

Assetto Corsa Competizione is the Official GT World Challenge game,

giving players the opportunity to experience the real atmosphere of the GT3

championship with manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Lamborghini,

and Porsche. Featuring official cars, tracks, drivers and teams, our players

will be able to jump into Sprint and Endurance races, as well as the iconic Spa

24hr race, in both single and multiplayer modes. 

Laserscan

Technology   

Assetto Corsa

Competizione features

some of the most well-known circuits on the planet, brought to life through

Laserscan technology. This tech enables our dev team to recreate circuits with

the highest level of accuracy, so expect to feel every bump and kerb on track

that you would in the cockpit of a real car. Those that know Kunos Simulazioni

know that this dev team is all about attention to detail, so tracks such as

Silverstone, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring are going to be real fun

to race on.



Realism

ACC takes full advantage of Unreal Engine 4,

bringing day and night races, photorealistic weather conditions and graphics,

motion capture animations, improved tyre and aerodynamic models and more to

game. The level of immersion you’ll experience from a driver’s perspective is

incredible. In fact, we’ve already seen GT World Challenge drivers jump on the

PC edition of ACC, which is surreal to see. If anything, this is solid

proof that Kunos developed something very close to the real-life experience.

Intercontinental

GT Pack DLC

Players who

decide to pre-order Assetto Corsa Competizione will receive free access

to the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC at launch, which features four of the most

iconic international circuits from around the world: Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit

(South Africa), Suzuka Circuit (Japan), Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca (United

States), and Mount Panorama Circuit (New South Wales Australia). What’s more,

this DLC will come with over 45 new car liveries, 30 new teams and 50 new

drivers, along with all-new game modes from the Intercontinental GT Challenge,

powered by Pirelli. (There’s a lot to be excited about here!)



For those who

don’t want to pre-order, don’t worry! The Intercontinental GT Pack comes to

Xbox One this Summer as a standalone paid DLC.

Race to The

Finish Line

Over the

coming weeks, we’ll be giving our community more info on the console edition of

Assetto Corsa Competizione over on our official AC and 505 Games Twitter channels. Today

has been super exciting for the team and as a Community Manager, it’s awesome

to finally be able to talk about today’s announcement. We’ve seen the console

question asked so many times so it’s nice to finally be able to say yes, ACC

is coming to Xbox One June 23! See you trackside!
