Assetto Corsa Evo Xbox: Is Assetto Corsa 2 Coming to Series X|S?

With the announcement of Assetto Corsa Evo, many wondered how they were going to be able to play the game, be that on PC or next-gen console like the Xbox Series X|S.

Following the success of the first Assetto Corsa, and Assetto Corsa Competizione, a third game was inevitable from 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni. So, it's nice to have confirmation of Assetto Corsa Evo!

So, is Assetto Corsa Evo coming to Xbox Series X|S? And if so, when can we expect to play it?

Latest news - Assetto Corsa Evo Steam Page Revealed

After the first Assetto Corsa Evo screenshot in June 2024, the Assetto Corsa fandom was sent into a frenzy about where Assetto Corsa Evo was. Theri calls were soon answered though, with the release of the game's official Steam page.

Not only has this given us our first official screenshots of the game, but it also gives us important information such as the minimum and recommended spec requirements for PC gamers.

There's also a confirmed release date of 2024, so AC Evo will land later this year. We'd wager towards the back end of the year to target the Christmas markets in November and December, although this is yet to be confirmed.

That's the PC release date, though, so what about the Xbox Series X|S version of the game and has KUNOS confirmed that AC Evo will come to Xbox?

A financial report from Digital Bros (the parent company of developers Konus Simulazioni and publishers 505 Games) has confirmed that Assetto Corsa Evo will launch on consoles.

That means that AC Evo will come to both Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. This is good news for console players, however, there is some bad news too.

Those expecting the console version of the game to launch in 2024 may be disappointed. Assetto Corsa games usually arrive around a year after the initial PC release, we're expecting Assetto Corsa Evo to launch on Xbox in late 2025 or sometime in 2026.

Assetto Corsa Evo is expected to launch on Xbox Series X|S, but Xbox One players will likely miss out. It makes sense for the developers to focus development solely on current-gen hardware.

This will allow Kunos Simulazioni to add enhanced visuals and performance to Assetto Corsa Evo. So on Series X, the AC Evo should be able to run in 4K resolution and up to 60 FPS.
