At last console sim racing fans, the lauded Assetto Corsa Competizione will be coming to the latest devices early next year.
The official game of the SRO GT World Challenge was released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2020 but was widely viewed as a rough port from PC, with the ageing hardware not able to deliver smooth frame rates or detailed visuals.
Now though, that is no longer the case, with a native PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version, which will be available digitally and physically. To be clear, this is a different experience to running the existing console version of ACC via backwards compatibility, running with enhanced detail at 4K and 60fps.
In addition to the enhanced visuals, the new console version will include private lobbies – something that is currently missing on the GT-based simulation, requiring server rentals at present to play with friends. The development team is also aiming to make use of the PS5’s DualSense haptic feedback.
