Take the wheel of GT3 race cars in the official GT World Challenge game. Race against AI or other players on circuits recreated for the game, in events ranging from sprints to endurance races, including the Spa 24 Hours.
Choose from Career, Championship, Free Play and Special Events, or practice and run individual sessions. Tutorials and adjustable assists and AI difficulty let you tailor the experience as you learn the cars and circuits.
Set up your car and manage its systems while driving, including controls such as ABS and traction control. Tire condition, aerodynamics, mechanical damage, weather and time of day affect the racing; multiplayer includes driver and performance ratings, matchmaking and leaderboards.
Many reviewers enjoy the detailed car handling and the way tire grip and condition shape each lap, with force feedback helping them sense the car at its limits. Others highlight the engine sounds, visuals and the satisfaction of improving through practice. Some reviews are sharply critical of online collisions and rating penalties, and players differ on the handling and physics.
Assetto Corsa Competizione is the new official GT World Challenge videogame.
Thanks to the extraordinary quality of simulation, the game will allow you to experience the real atmosphere of the GT3 championship, competing against official drivers, teams, cars and circuits reproduced in-game with the highest level of accuracy ever achieved.
Sprint, Endurance and Spa 24 Hours races will come to life with an incredible level of realism, in both single and multiplayer modes.
Assetto Corsa Competizione is born from KUNOS Simulazioni's long-term experience, and it takes full advantage of Unreal Engine 4 to ensure photorealistic weather conditions and graphics, night races, motion capture animations, reaching a new standard in terms of driving realism and immersion, thanks to its further improved tyre and aerodynamic models.
Designed to innovate, Assetto Corsa Competizione will be set to promote eSports, bringing players at the heart of the GT World Challenge and putting them behind the wheel of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens and many other prestigious GT racing cars, all reproduced with outstanding level of detail.
REALISTIC SIMULATION
Assetto Corsa Competizione is designed to faithfully recreate the performance and the driving experience of real GT World Challenge cars through a sophisticated mathematical model that accurately replicates tyre grip, aerodynamic impact, engine parameters, suspensions and electronics systems that determine vehicle balance, as well as the influence of mechanical damage on the car's drivability.
NEW-GENERATION GRAPHICS AND VISUAL EFFECTS
Unreal Engine 4 guarantees photorealistic rendering and an accurate representation of scenarios, car materials and weather conditions. Thanks to the multi-channel audio sampling of real GT cars, the game conveys captivating and immersive acoustic surroundings and realistic environmental effects.
CARE FOR DETAILS
Even the secondary details are faithfully reproduced to make you feel the thrill of being in the cockpit of a real racing car. Doors, windshield wipers, headlights, racing lights, racing equipment and control devices such as ABS, traction control, engine ignition and ECU mapping, are all under the driver’s management to assure the best performance and offer the player total control of the car.
THE MOST ACCURATE CIRCUITS
Thanks to Laserscan technology, every official circuit is recreated with the utmost accuracy: all curbs and details perfectly fit their real counterparts to grant a gaming experience as faithful to reality as possible.
ADVANCED MULTIPLAYER FUNCTIONALITY
A well-structured ranking system will evaluate individual performance and driving behaviour to reward the most virtuous drivers and promote fair play in online competitions. The matchmaking function makes sure that you can compete with opponents of similar skill level and easily find online races to join, while the leaderboards will allow you to compare single-lap performance with drivers from all around the world with the same car, circuit and weather conditions.
IMMERSIVE SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE
Career, Championship and Free Play modes offer a complete and customizable gaming experience, also thanks to the tutorials and progressive aid levels that allow you to tailor AI opponent difficulty and vehicle stability control to your abilities. The Special Events will allow you to gain a first-hand experience of the most noteworthy real-life GT World Challenge.
HIGH-LEVEL HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY
Assetto Corsa Competizione ensures full compatibility with a wide range of peripherals from gamepads to professional steering wheels.
MOTION CAPTURE FOR REALISTIC ANIMATIONS
Motion capture technology is used to create the animations of mechanics and drivers in an even more realistic fashion, and guarantee a high level of player engagement during races, pit stops and driver changes.

| Multiplayer | Assetto Corsa Competizione supports single-player and multiplayer. Store features explicitly list Online PvP and LAN PvP, and the descriptions mention online races, matchmaking, rankings, leaderboards, and eSports support. Reviews indicate public servers, ranked and unranked online racing, leagues, external communities, driver changes, and dedicated/private server setup, but no clear built-in local multiplayer. |
| Multiplayer & mods | The game is tagged Moddable, but reviews state modding is limited compared with Assetto Corsa. External vehicle skins can be used, but one review says they are only visible client-side and not server-hosted. Reviews also describe external services such as Low Fuel Motorsport and leagues as important for organized multiplayer, but these are community services rather than game mods. |
