A standout feature is the free-roam mode, allowing for unrestricted exploration. A major summer 2025 update promises a massive addition: a fully laser-scanned open world encompassing the legendary Nürburgring and its surrounding roads, initially spanning a breathtaking 1600 square kilometers, with planned expansions.

Assetto Corsa EVO aims to challenge industry titans like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, promising photorealistic visuals and cutting-edge physics. The full launch will feature 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with continuous free updates adding even more content. Expect meticulously recreated circuits, complete with rolling tires, wet track conditions, and lively spectators for an unparalleled sense of realism.

Enhanced car dynamics, suspension, and shock absorption further refine the driving experience. Early Access will include Driving Academy mode, featuring time trials on select tracks, culminating in a license that unlocks access to the game's most prestigious vehicles. This mode will be a key single-player component of the Early Access release.
