FAQ: Assetto Corsa Competizione PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S Release

Assetto Corsa Competizione is the Official GT World Challenge game, and it is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S digitally on February 22^nd and February 24^th for Day 1 boxed edition.

Originally developed by the immensely talented Italian development team KUNOS Simulazioni, Assetto Corsa Competizione is a sim racing game unlike many others. Used by real-life racing drivers such as David Perel and James Baldwin, ACC delivers a super realistic racing experience, thanks to the incredible attention to detail not only on and in the cars (which have been built using actual manufacturer data) but also the circuits you race on.
