Assetto Corsa Competizione launches on Steam Early Access

Assetto Corsa Competizione has just launched on Steam Early Access at £22.49 as the official Blancpain GT Series game developed by Kunos Simulazioni and published by 505 Games, reintroducing fans to the series alongside a brand new launch trailer.

Unreal Engine 4 allows the game to deliver photorealistic weather conditions, night races, motion capture animations, and more, all of which is helped by the new tire and aerodynamic models. In the game we'll also see official drivers, teams, and circuits, not to mention the all-important cars.

As if that wasn't enough we'll also be getting monthly updates as of today, introducing new tracks and cars and covering 60% of the total content due for the final version, which is scheduled for release in Q1 next year. The finished product will include all cars and tracks of the Blancpain GT Season and will bring career and championship modes in too, with a summer 2019 update also introducing the 2019 season of the Blancpain GT Series Championship.

Buying the game now grants access to all the upcoming content, while the final price of £44.99 will change on January 16, with a slightly smaller raise to £34.99 before that, on November 14. Will you be getting it now though?
