Assetto Corsa EVO Release 0.3 Adding Multiplayer, Improved Physics and Much More

Marco Massarutto, Co-Founder and Executive Manager at KUNOS Simulazioni, has shared what’s coming in the third release of the Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access program, though no release date has been announced.

The update takes its first step into online multiplayer, starting with 16-player lobbies that will eventually expand to full track capacity. It also sets the stage for the Custom Servers Portal, built in partnership with Swiss Innovative Arts & Technology Institute and gives players an early look at the upcoming Daily Racing Portal being developed with SimGrid.

Release 0.3 brings upgrades across physics, audio and visuals. Cars will benefit from 1000 Hz damping, a new suspension model and tire evolution, while the audio system has been overhauled with unique engine sounds, inertia-based responses and more lifelike backfire effects. On the technical side, GPU and CPU performance have been optimized, VRAM usage has been reduced and the Multi-Function Display now updates in real time. Rounding out the content are nine new vehicles, including the Ferrari F2004, along with two laser-scanned circuits, Circuit de Spa Francorchamps and Red Bull Ring.

Players who pick up Assetto Corsa EVO in Early Access not only get a discount but will also receive all content included in the full version 1.0 at no extra cost.
