For the tire model-arguably the most important part of any racing sim-the studio worked closely with Italian tire company Pirelli, which is the official tire supplier for SRO's various GT3 championships. In a briefing last week, Kunos said that it's done a lot of work with both the aerodynamic and tire modeling of ACC, which (unlike its earlier game) is built using the Unreal Engine. I've heard good things about the fidelity of Assetto Corsa over the years, so I was eager to try out the franchise's console debut to see how it stacks up.

That kind of hyperspecific demographic makes sense in the PC world, where most hardcore sim racers live, but the people at Kunos have ported their game to both the PS4 (which we tested) and Xbox One-consoles that have traditionally been better served by more accessible driving games.

First released on the PC in 2019, ACC is a much more narrowly targeted game than its older sibling-this game is focused on a single category of racing, called GT3, which uses modified versions of exotica you might see on the road (or reviewed here at Ars) like Lamborghini Huracáns and Acura NSXs.ĪCC is also the official game of GT World Challenge, a collection of race series held around the world by an organization called SRO. The game is a companion of sorts to the well-established PC racing sim Assetto Corsa, developed by Italian studio Kunos Simulazioni. On Tuesday, sim-racing options for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 just got a little more diverse with the release of Assetto Corsa Competizione.
