505 Games’ Antonela Pounder has stopped by to drop off the patch notes for the September update to Assetto Corsa Competizione. “While we might have been a little quiet recently, that doesn’t mean we’ve been standing still. Behind the scenes, our developers have been working hard to bring improvements and fixes to game,” she comments.

We gave the game 6/10 in our review, “With a career mode lacking in substance, strange bugs and a limited set of content, Assetto Corsa Competizione is hard to recommend. Perhaps in 2021, with a slew of patches and DLC expansions it will be in a better place, but for now, Assetto Corsa Competizione is a superlative solo driving experience trapped in a flawed video game,” said our racing games expert, Thomas.
The console version of the game suffered a number of concessions compared to the PC version, though thankfully the physics and the game audio remain untouched . Instead, it’s the graphics that will suffer.
Assetto Corsa Competizione runs at 30fps on all PS4 and Xbox One consoles – a fate similar to the games coming out of Milestone after they also made a jump to Unreal Engine 4. Here’s the run down of the resolutions and options.
- Xbox One – 900p at 30fps
- PS4 – 1080p at 30fps
- PS4 Pro – 1800p upscaled at 30fps
- Xbox One X – or 2160p at 30fps
