Assetto Corsa Competizione Challengers and American Track Packs out now on consoles

Better late than never, the two most recent Assetto Corsa Competizione DLC packs are finally available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. These packs follow the recent 1.8 update that improved the tyre model physics, bringing parity between the PC and console versions.

Challengers Pack DLC

Originally released way back in March for PC, the Challengers Pack DLC brings five new cars including the all-new Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II driven by Valentino Rossi in the 20022 Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe.

The DLC also adds four additional GT cars that compete in single-make series.

• Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II
• BMW M2 CS Racing
• Ferrari 488 GT3 Challenge Evo
• Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO 2
• Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992)

The new car groups can be found in the grid mixing options under the Open Series and quick race and custom race weekend game modes. In Multiplayer, the cup cars are merged into a single GTC category.

The Challengers Pack DLC can be downloaded for $10.99/£8.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

American Track Pack DLC

As well as the Challengers Pack DLC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players can also download the American Track Pack DLC.

Originally released in June for PC, the American Track Pack DLC brings three of America’s most iconic racing circuits to Assetto Corsa Competizione:

• Circuit of the Americas
• Indianapolis Motor Speedway
• Watkins Glen International

The American Track Pack DLC costs £14.99 on PS5 and £14.99/$17.99on Xbox Series X|S.
