What Assetto Corsa does

Assetto Corsa is a racing simulation video game franchise developed primarily by KUNOS Simulazioni Srl, an Italian studio headquartered in Formello and founded in 2014. The portfolio comprises four titles spanning multiple motorsport disciplines: the original Assetto Corsa (2014), Assetto Corsa Competizione (2019, GT World Challenge-focused under SRO license), Assetto Corsa EVO (2025, the next-generation flagship in Early Access), and Assetto Corsa Rally (2025, a rally-focused title co-developed with Supernova Games Studios, a subsidiary of Digital Bros Group, on a custom Unreal Engine 5 build). The franchise's technical core is a proprietary physics engine refined over a decade, combined with laser-scanned tracks and vehicles, dynamic weather systems, advanced tire and suspension modeling, and full VR and triple-screen support.

The franchise is published globally by 505 Games SpA and distributed through Steam (including Early Access), PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, and physical retail across more than 20 countries, with an additional merchandise channel via the official online shop. Monetization relies on one-time game purchases (perpetual licenses), with content additions during the Early Access period included in the initial price - there is no subscription or live-service tier disclosed. The studio holds official licensing from major automotive manufacturers (Ferrari, McLaren, BMW, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Audi), the SRO GT World Challenge, and the FIA (for esports), and integrates with peripherals through VR, triple-screen, and force-feedback partnerships. Multiplayer on EVO is delivered through a platform built with SIATI, supporting up to 16 drivers per session.
