    At the end of the day, if you’re a big fan of ACC and want to get the best the game has to offer, this new-gen release is exactly what it’s supposed to be. It’s one of the best racing sims ever created, and the new-gen improvements are exactly what ACC needed in the first place.

    For the first time in sim racing history, a console version can share the starting grid spot with its PC brother.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione on next-gen consoles delivers a great 60 FPS experience in 4K, maintaining its core physics which rules in the sim racing world.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione dons a next-gen suit and becomes the best console version of itself. There are some minor flaws here and there, but those who want pure simulation can finally try their hand at a monster of authenticity, now more beautiful than ever.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione is a full-fledged simulator but it’s scanty in terms of typical game content. However, a multitude of settings to play with and an advanced driving model will keep racing fans occupied for hours on end. What’s also worth mentioning, is the fact that the game takes full advantage of DualSense’s features, which really improves the overall experience.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione will not win you over with its content, but with the unique way it manages to fit the real felling of driving a racing car to the limit inside the narrow frame of a videogame.

    With its massively upgraded visual presentation and much more responsive racing together with a surprisingly immersive DualSense implementation, one of the best hardcore racing simulators out just got even better on PS5. This is the definitive version of Assetto Corsa Competizione on console and that fact alone should be a cause for celebration for anyone with even a passing interest in highly detailed racing simulations.

    Want to take on this mega GT World Challenge, but don’t have a PC capable of running it? Assetto Corsa Competizione on PS5 is one of the most visually and mechanically realistic racing experiences out there. This update is miles better than any other ACC console offering, with its buttery-smooth gameplay and 4k graphics. The DLCs help to pad out the game and set it apart from any of its competitors. And, whilst the career mode doesn’t bring anything new to the table, the championship, challenge and online modes more than make up for it. Unfortunately, if you don’t have the spare cash for a wheel and pedals, it’s a sub-par racing experience that leaves the taste of burnt rubber in your mouth.

    Where the original console release of Assetto Corsa Competizione had some huge caveats hanging over it, the game's release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S brings it up to spec, effectively matching the PC version. It still has some weaknesses in presentation and structure for new players in particular, but once you get into the groove, it's one of the best sim racers you can buy right now.

    Competizione brings to console the experience that Kunos always had in mind to make it the Assetto Corsa that it was always meant to be, although it feels a bit limited compared to its big competitors.

    As a beginner, Assetto Corsa Competizione has such a high barrier of entry that it would take me a lot of time and dedication to explore everything the title has to offer. It's certainly an interesting experience of trying to control an incredibly fast car and going, gradually, taking milliseconds off each lap and trying to get a better time. For enthusiasts, it's certainly a valid recommendation, but for newbies to the genre I believe there is a lot to be done for this to become a receptive title.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione's next-gen version is a true joy for simracers and people who are hungry for pure driving simulation. The mistakes taken with the PS4 and Xbox versions are gone here, and you can enjoy great sensations at 4K y 60 FPS. ACC is the best console simulator, period. [Recommended]

    Good simulation, average graphics, difficult to compete the other opponents because AI is very challenging.

The car setup is a long learning procedure, but it worth every second. The cars are feeling very different each other, so every driver can find his style of driving, and feel comfortable with it. The game is higjy recommended! Full Review »

World records, top 10 at the nordschliefe, you name it. If you get this game, you literally have to change so many settings to stop the game from slowing you down (on purpose, the devs clearly wanted people to be discouraged). For example, there is a setting called "ECU" map. By default, on AGRESSIVE setup for the car, the ECU map is SET TO ITS NEARLY LOWEST SETTING. This means YOU WILL BE OBJECTIVELY SLOW AND LOSE TIME ON THE STRAIGHTS. I was thinking "why am i purple in the twisty sectors, but losing seconds on straight sections?" Well. There you gom the gatekeeping done by these devs is shocking. The setup menus have 0 explanation. The deafult setups ARE WRONG. Just objectively. Wrong. (If you know how damping and bumpstops work, the devs literally try to make it impossible to handle on purpose, as another layer of gatekeeping). To top it all off, the AI is non existant and ignores blue flags on a flying lap! Terrible! This isnt to mention the AWFUL UI. The worst I've seen on PS5. I'm not exaggerating. The game feels like it's barely holding together. It feeezes in very odd ways. Idk. Just avoid if you like sims, or actual next gen games. Full Review »
