Assetto Corsa EVO’s first phase of free roam will be released via an early access update on 9th December 2026.
This much-discussed feature allows players to navigate and explore a 1:1 scale replication of Germany’s Eifel region. A work-in-progress build is playable this weekend at the SimRacing Expo, Frankfurt.
Set around the Nürburgring Nordschleife, there are nearby villages, narrow roads and countryside. You can explore off-road alongside the asphalt.
A world map highlights points of interest, fuel stations (to refuel), and tyre replacement centres, while there will also be point-to-point Time Attacks with online leaderboards.
Discussion
Happy this is finally coming out but also disappointed there is no progression system that would give me a reason to keep playing it. They advertised that as a main core component and now put a spin on it being a positive that everything is unlocked straight away.
