Assetto Corsa EVO

EARLY ACCESS 0.7

Assetto Corsa EVO 0.7 introduces a milestone update of the Early Access cycle, featuring a brand-new particle system that brings smoke, dust, dirt, spray and impact effects into the driving experience, the first official release of the Assetto Corsa EVO - SDK dedicated Steam app, new multiplayer-oriented functionalities and a broad range of simulation focused, renderer, audio and gameplay refinements.

This is a release built to expand what players can do within the Assetto Corsa EVO ecosystem.

NEW PARTICLE SYSTEM – With release 0.7 thanks to the newly introduced particle system, tyre smoke now properly reacts to wheel spin, slides and drift work, dirt and gravel generate dynamic debris off-track, while wet conditions and collisions now deliver a more grounded and immersive visual response.

ASSETTO CORSA EVO SDK APP - Version 0.7 also marks the first official step toward community-driven content creation in Assetto Corsa EVO. Dedicated to experienced and technically skilled creators, the Dedicated to experienced and technically skilled creators, the SDK application allows users to produce custom vehicles using a production pipeline closely aligned with the same technologies used internally by the development team at KUNOS Simulazioni. This first release focuses on car creation and represents the beginning of a longer-term evolution toward a more open, expandable and long-living platform. The Assetto Corsa EVO SDK app is available to all Assetto Corsa EVO users.

DAILY RACING PORTAL SAFETY RATING - Alongside release 0.7, an all-new Safety Rating System (EVO SR) has been deployed on the official Daily Racing Portal - the official multiplayer companion website of Assetto Corsa EVO. This new system has been designed to reward close and respectful racing rather than simply avoiding contact in clean air, inviting players to become very good racers, and save them from boring and over-safe driving, away from the group.

Assetto Corsa EVO raises the bar of realism that has made the franchise one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade even higher.

As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning across years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars. The most iconic representation of the automotive and motorsport world. Each vehicle is reproduced through Kunos in-house physics and graphic engine simulating mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, combined with the fidelity of the circuits created using Laserscan technology.

Throughout Early Access, you will experience a continuously expanding range of vehicles, tracks, and game modes, evolving towards our full 1.0 launch.

With the launch of a new KUNOS Simulazioni proprietary, high-performance photorealistic engine, VR and triple screen support have become first-class features and the new mathematical model meticulously simulates asphalt performance in different dynamic weather conditions that guarantees an authentic and realistic experience which will redefine the standards that have made Assetto Corsa globally renowned.
