Assetto Corsa Competizione console update fixes PS5 and Xbox bugs

With Rennsport’s console port unlike to arrive until 2024 at the earliest, there aren’t many serious racing simulations on console.

Fortunately, Assetto Corsa Competizione was ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S last year, and it’s one of the best sim racing games on console. That doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement, though. The console version isn’t updated as frequently as its PC counterpart, and console players often have a longer wait for DLC.

Fortunately, a new Assetto Corsa Competizione update has arrived, bringing numerous PS5 and Xbox fixes.

One of the most notable fixes addresses a PS5-specific issue where the game would crash when exiting matchmaking options in multiplayer. There’s also a fix for an Xbox issue that caused the game to crash when resuming the game after a suspended session. 

Sadly, one thing the patch doesn’t provide is PSVR 2 support. This may never happen as Kunos Simulazioni says it has no plans for ACC to support PSVR 2.

It’s already difficult to run the game smoothly in VR on a powerful PC, so it could be too demanding for PSVR 2. For now, Gran Turismo 7 is the definitive PSVR 2 racing experience.
