Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Update 3 Brings Multiplayer, New Cars, Tracks, More

505 Games and developer KUNOS Simulazioni have announced the release of Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Update 3, which comes loaded with content. As the name suggests, this is the third Early Access update for Assetto Corsa EVO since its release. Update 3 (v.0.3) includes the first step of Multiplayer Mode, 9 new cars, 2 new tracks, and also brings the first main physics upgrade along with performance, graphics, gameplay, and UI improvements.

Check out the Assetto Corsa EVO Update 3 Trailer:

The developer is calling the new Multiplayer Mode added to the game as Multiplayer Mode – Step 1. This is because it is a small step in the game’s full Multiplayer, which will be present in the game at its full launch. With this update, you can finally race with other players from around the world in the game. It will allow the developers to introduce their game into the market with a community-driven approach. To ensure a stable, secure, and high-quality online racing experience, the multiplayer system in Assetto Corsa EVO has been developed leveraging key partnerships with trusted experts.

This will provide a solid online infrastructure for the entire community as an investment in Release 4 and its Daily Racing Portal. The online servers at this point will host up to 16 players in each race, while the developer will focus mainly on the overall session-related functionality and stability. Once these goals are met, the developer will then shift focus to the number of slots per game, which will rise up to track capacity and beyond. A decent selection of public in-game servers is now live in the game and will remain live 24/7 at no cost for players to join in and race with other people.

These servers offer different race scenarios, tracks, and weather presets. These servers are hosted by SimGrid and their communities. They are KUNOS-trusted partners for the Daily Racing Portal, which is releasing with 0.4, and LowFuelMotorsport, also known as LFM, another racing community. If you prefer going a little further, like community admins, leagues, and event organizing, after the 0.3 release, the Custom Server Portal will allow you to rent and configure dedicated servers. Their prices range from:

20-slot server, live 24/7 for 30 days: €15 + VAT
- More than 20 slots: price remains capped at€15 + VAT per 30-day period, regardless of the number of slots
Discounts available for longer rental periods:
- 10% off for 3 months
- 25% off for 6 months
- 50% off for 12 months
Daily server rental (unlimited slots): €5

The Update 3 brings three new cars and two new tracks for you to try. The new cars include:

GT Class:

BMW M4 GT3 EVO
Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2
Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport

Special Class:

Caterham Seven Academy Racer
Dallara Stradale
Ferrari F2004

Classic/Road Class:

Audi RS 6 Avant
BMW M3 Sport Evo (E30)
Mercedes-Benz 190E AMG 2.5-16 Evo II

The new tracks include:

Circuit de Spa Francorchamps
Red Bull Ring

Naturally, it will not be an Early Access Update without tons of quality-of-life improvements and updates. Update 3 is loaded with these across three verticles, and we have listed them below:

Physics – A fully recalibrated tyre model – across all compounds- has been initially released in 0.3.0 Open Beta to gather feedback from a wide variety of sim racing hardware users and FFB settings. During the Open Beta, KUNOS also addressed an issue related to tyre damping, which has been limiting the tyre feeling on FFB across a variety of scenarios. These will be released today with version 0.3.3. Release 3 physics update includes several improvements allowing the tires to respond more accurately to temperature, load, speed, and camber changes, delivering a more dynamic and rewarding driving experience. This is supported by a brand-new proprietary suspension algorithm and an upgraded damping system running at 1000 Hz, significantly enhancing vehicle feedback during transitions, braking, and directional changes. Together, these improvements add a whole new layer to driving simulation, where the car will more naturally communicate with the driver and allow more subtle corrections and, overall, a tighter feeling with any car.
Audio – Every car now features uniquely detailed ignition and startup sounds, with refined engine timbre and dynamic responses tied to RPM and engine inertia. Further realism comes through enhanced driveline audio, calibrated throttle lag, and torque response that closely mimic real-world behavior. Backfire effects have also been reworked for authenticity, delivering sharp, context-sensitive pops and crackles. These elements provide deeper mechanical feedback and elevate the overall driving immersion.
Graphics & UI – The graphics engine now features improved global illumination, optimized CPU/GPU performance – with most noticeable improvements in crowded scenes, like multiplayer races – and significantly reduced VRAM usage, addressing some of the previous framerate issues. Post-processing effects, like motion blur, have also been refined for greater visual fidelity. On the User Interface front, the Multi-Function Display (MFD) has been expanded with customizable controls, real-time and official leaderboards, and detailed input settings. Additional updates include improved speedometer, tyres, and gear widgets -now featuring pit limiter indicators – for a more informative and race-focused experience.

Assetto Corsa EVO is now available on PC via Steam in Early Access. For a limited time, it is available for a discounted price of $39.99. Update 3 is now live, and you can update your game to the latest version to check it out.
