KUNOS Simulazioni is building out Assetto Corsa EVO through free updates while it remains in early access, with Ver.0.8 and Ver.0.9 already released and a Free Roam mode announced for the Frankfurt Sim Racing Expo demo.
KUNOS Simulazioni and publisher 505 Games are steadily expanding Assetto Corsa EVO, with three stories tracking the game across three months of 2026. Each release adds content and systems rather than holding them for a full release. Ver.0.8, released in July, added the KTM X-Bow GT2, KTM X-Bow GT4, and Volkswagen Golf 8 R, plus the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. The same update expanded user-generated content with livery tools, mod cars in multiplayer, and league event organization. VR also received foveated rendering and performance tuning, and the story places the build on a path toward 1.0.
Ver.0.9, released in August, added the Audi R8 LMS GT2, the Audi R8 V10 performance quattro, and the Mazda RX-7 FD Spirit R. It also introduced a Special Events mode with global leaderboard competitions, and online timed races over 20 minutes now support mandatory pit stops. The update is free.
In October, KUNOS and 505 Games announced a Free Roam mode for the game. It recreates real roads, villages, and landmarks in part of Germany's Eifel region at 1:1 scale, starting with the area around the Nurburgring, and it includes the 20.8km Nordschleife. The mode can be played solo or with other players. A playable demo appears at Sim Racing Expo in Frankfurt from October 16 to 18.
