Assetto Corsa EVO Free Roam Update Lands December 9 With Nürburgring Open World
KUNOS Simulazioni built its reputation on laser-scanned circuits, and putting a 1:1 Eifel open world around the Nordschleife turns the series' most famous track into a region rather than a lap, which is a bigger structural move for the sim than another car pack would be.

505 Games announced that Assetto Corsa EVO's version 0.10 update arrives December 9, 2026, adding a Free Roam mode. The mode reproduces part of Germany's Eifel region at 1:1 scale, including the Nürburgring Nordschleife, surrounding villages, roads, and landmarks, 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.
The mode goes past circuit driving into an open world, and the studios are using the real thing as their benchmark. A comparison video from German-born Dutch racing driver and YouTuber Misha Charoudin, who has raced the real 24 Hours of Nürburgring, accompanies the announcement, with Charoudin driving in-game while reacting to how closely the environment matches what he knows from the actual roads. Time attack events sit inside the map rather than in a separate menu, and the map is slated to expand through future updates. The early access build is on Steam for 4,950 yen.
