![]() ![]() This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if the lower frame rate was locked at a consistent rate, but on the base PlayStation 4 that RaceFans reviewed Assetto Corsa Competizione on, the frame rate varied noticeably even while lapping circuits alone in practice mode. In terms of frame rates, Assetto Corsa Competizione runs at far fewer frames per second than its peers like Forza, Gran Turismo Sport, Project CARS or even Codemasters’ F1 series. On console, Assetto Corsa Competizione has performance issues that can, at the worst instances, significantly affect your ability to play the game. So how successfully has the transition to current-gen consoles been made? First, a word of caution. Now, console players finally have the chance to get behind the wheel of what could well be the most realistic racing simulator ever brought to PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Kunos refined their simulation mechanics and released Assetto Corsa Competizione for PC last year. If you have the next-gen systems, now is the time to tackle the GT World Challenge on console.Īssetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC, Playstation and Xbox consoles.While lacking the presentation levels of the bigger budget games on the market, Assetto Corsa’s driving physics received praise from veteran simracers and even real-world drivers. The racing is as brilliant as ever, DLCs really pad out the game with new tracks and GT4 cars, and although the career is still the same basic one it has been, the championship, challenge and online modes make up for this. ![]() With this update however, I now feel that this game should be an essential title in the library of every racing enthusiast on console. Previously if someone had asked me whether I would recommend ACC on console I would have said no. This is the same for pedal dead zone sliders, they currently aren’t a feature but should be in a future patch. The game isn’t quite on the same parity as the PC version due to the 1.8 update not being available on consoles but Kunos as said in their FAQ that it is coming. This is an important addition as this gives the potential for leagues to run a lot easier than before. The game offers free private lobbies that can house up to 30 cars on track depending on the circuit. The 4K visuals also make surging around tracks like Misano at night a spectacular thing to behold as well as a sunny day around Silverstone. ![]() I don’t have an fps counter but I haven’t seen a frame-rate dip in my playtime, this is including at night and in the rain. The 60FPS, in particular, is so important for racing sims on console and it is actually very smooth. The game now boasts 4K and 60FPS and it makes a massive difference. The original Assetto Corsa was not fun to drive when using a controller, it was very much a ‘wheel input’ game, but now they have made this game a lot more accessible for those that want to experience the majesty of the Spa 24 Hours but may not have £300 to spend. The game retains its brilliant physics, you can really feel what the car is doing and with the haptic feedback implementation on the PS5 controller, feeling a loss of traction or brakes locking, makes the game so much more immersive. Kunos have responded that they are looking at these problems so they should be fixed in the future. There are currently issues with save transfers, force feedback strength and sometimes there are system crashes. There are some bugs that come with new game releases in this day and age. So I will get the negatives out the way first. Unfortunately I don’t own a wheel for the Playstation, but I do own the game fully on PC with a Wheel so won’t be going in blind. Now full disclosure, the game has been reviewed using the PS5 version as well as with a controller. Kunos have now released the next-gen upgrade for the PS5 and Series X. The game was locked to 30fps even on the Playstation PS4 Pro and XBOX One X, yet they for some reason struggled to reach the number. Unfortunately the result wasn’t what was expected, the game released to a multitude of bugs as well as poor frame rates. Based on the GT World Challenge, the game was released to initial excitement from console users who were looking for a dedicated sim racer that didn’t compromise for mass appeal. In 2020 the team at Kunos Simulazioni released Assetto Corsa Competizione for consoles after a successful roll out of the title on PC.
