Competition Company's promising new sim racer is generating a lot of buzz, but when is Rennsport coming out?
A new sim racing challenger is coming to take on iRacing, rFactor 2, and Assetto Corsa. That challenger is called Rennsport (that’s German for “racing”), a new Unreal Engine 5 sim racing game in the works by Germany’s Competition Company with a focus on modding and esports.
Sim racing fans are eager to find out if it can beat the competition, but when is Rennsport coming out? Here’s everything we know about the Rennsport release date.
When is Rennsport coming out?
Competition Company initially targeted a December 2023 release window for Rennsport. Sadly, this date was missed, but we don't have too long to wait now.
Rennsport's 2024 roadmap confirms that the sim title will be entering early access in Q3 of 2024. This means we can finally hit the track any time between July and September, meaning it's not a matter of months away.
The roadmap also reveals the new content coming to Rennsport during 2024, including new cars, tracks, features, and even race types.
Rennsport beta
A closed Rennsport beta began in June 2023, giving players an early look at the promising sim racer with a handful of cars and tracks. Only selected players will gain access, but you can still sign up on Rennsport’s website.
With developer Competition Company planning the largest beta key giveaway on 27 March, now is definitely the best time to sign up.
Unlike the closed beta, all players can access the free-to-play sim racer in the open beta and find out how it stacks up against the established titans of iRacing, rFactor 2, and Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Platforms
As for platforms, Rennsport will initially only be out on PC. This will allow for community modding support, the best possible physics, and high-fidelity visuals on powerful hardware. However, Rennsport may be ported to consoles in the future.
Speaking with RaceDepartment, Competition Company says “console versions are planned for post-release updates.” Assetto Corsa Competizione is the only serious racing simulator on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S right now, but this could change in the future if Rennsport comes to consoles.
