Assetto Corsa Competizione is looking sharp on PS5 and Xbox Series X

Thanks to a new trailer, we can see the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X version of Assetto Corsa Competizione in action – and it’s looking spectacular.

Sadly, the trailer for the 4K console version of Kunos KUNOS Simulazioni’s venerated racing simulator is only in 1080p, so is perhaps not a true representation of visual fidelity – but based upon this trailer alone, we’re hard-pressed to spot any difference between this and a top-end PC build.

The proof will be in the gameplay, but for now, the GT3 cars racing at night, in the rain, look as spectacular as ever – except now it’s available to more sim racers than ever before.

The main focus of this latest trailer is the progressive day/night cycle combined with changeable weather conditions, one of the platform’s main unique selling points. That and the glorious sound of a full field of racing cars screaming out of La Source and down the hill to Eau Rouge.

The current PS4 and Xbox One versions of Assetto Corsa Competizione drive well but run with significantly less visual detail than the PS5 and Xbox Series X footage. These new versions are able to output at 4K at 60fps, but no firm details on the Xbox Series S visuals are known at this time.

Assetto Corsa Competizione releases for the latest console hardware on 24th February 2022 and includes online private lobbies. There is also a free upgrade for existing console owners that includes game save transfer.
