Assetto Corsa EVO is in early access on Steam. Its next update, version 0.10, arrives December 9, 2026 and adds a 1:1 scale Free Roam mode covering part of Germany's Eifel region around the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Assetto Corsa EVO has moved through a run of numbered early access updates in 2026, building from content additions toward a larger structural change. Ver.0.8, released in July 2026, added the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and three cars (KTM X-Bow GT2, GT4, and Volkswagen Golf 8 R), expanded user-generated content with livery tools, mod cars in multiplayer, and league event organization, and improved VR with foveated rendering. Ver.0.9, released August 26, 2026, added the Audi R8 LMS GT2, Audi R8 V10 performance quattro, and Mazda RX-7 FD Spirit R, along with a Special Events mode for global leaderboard competitions and mandatory pit stops in online timed races over 20 minutes.
The Free Roam mode is the biggest departure. Announced October 8, 2026 by 505 Games and KUNOS Simulazioni, it recreates real roads, villages, and landmarks in part of the Eifel region at 1:1 scale, starting with the area around the Nürburgring, including the 20.8km Nordschleife, and supports solo and multiplayer play. A playable demo ran at Sim Racing Expo in Frankfurt from October 16 to 18.
On October 17, 505 Games confirmed the mode ships in version 0.10 on December 9, 2026, with dynamic weather, day-night changes, and AI-driven traffic. The game has been in early access on Steam since January 2025 and is targeted at PC. Separately, Unitcom's LEVEL∞ line offers two pre-built configurations tuned for the game with Pikachannel, both using the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition, starting at 1,043,000 yen.
