Assetto Corsa EVO is an upcoming sim racing video game developed by the Italian video game developer, Kunos Simulazioni. The game was released as Steam Early Access on 16 January 2025.[1][2]
It is the third installment in the Assetto Corsa series following Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Gameplay
In its early access 1 release, Assetto Corsa EVO launched with 5 tracks, 20 cars, and 7 game modes.[3] However, more tracks are set to be released throughout 2025.[2] The tracks at launch included Brands Hatch, Mount Panorama Circuit, Suzuka International Racing Course, Imola Circuit, and Laguna Seca. The game modes include: Single Player, Practice, Quick Race, Driving Academy, Special Events, Hotstint, and Test Drive. The Driving Academy is a mode in which players "improve and earn licenses to unlock faster cars and special events."[3] A career mode was originally set to be included,[4] however this was later scrapped during the game's early access period in favour of developing the Driving Academy mode further, which was met with significant backlash from players.[5]
Immediately after releasing the title as early access, developers Kunos Simulazioni showcased a roadmap for Assetto Corsa EVO, with the Italian studio aiming to fully release the game around Fall 2025;[2] the full release has since slipped to 2026.[6]
Reception
Assetto Corsa EVO was met with mostly positive reviews when it entered early access. Some players criticised the always online requirement for the title in order to access most features. Other users were pleased with the initial state of the vehicle physics and handling despite the overall game's features to be bare bones at the time.[7]
