Assetto Corsa Competizione: GT World Challenge 2024 Finally Arrives on Console

July 29, 2025, marked an important date for next-gen console owners of Assetto Corsa Competizione. Kunos Simulazioni released a free 2.9 GB update that finally introduces GT World Challenge 2024 content to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, bridging a content gap that had lasted nearly a year.

GT World Challenge 2024 Content

The update brings to consoles a complete set of content that had already been available on PC for 11 months:

Official 2024 Liveries

• Valentino Rossi #46 Team WRT: The legendary livery of The Doctor, who made his return to GT competitions
• Proton Competition Ford Mustang: The new Ford Mustang debut entries in GT3 configuration
• All official team liveries from the 2024 season participants

Complete Seasons

• GTWC Europe Sprint Championship: The European championship sprint race series
• GTWC Europe Endurance Championship: The prestigious endurance races, including the iconic 24 Hours of Spa
• Updated Driver Lineups: All official drivers and formations from the 2024 season

A Long-Awaited Update

While this content isn't technically "new" for the Assetto Corsa Competizione community - having been released on PC in August 2024 - it represents an important sign of life for the simulator's console versions. The long delay in arriving on console had created a significant disparity between different platforms, leaving console players with outdated content.

Previous Generation Console Limitations

It's important to note that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will not receive this update. Kunos Simulazioni has ceased support for previous-generation consoles, focusing their resources exclusively on next-gen platforms. This decision, while understandable from a technical standpoint, excludes part of the user base that hasn't yet transitioned to newer consoles.

The Future of Assetto Corsa Competizione

The most intriguing aspect of this update isn't so much the content itself, but the message Kunos Simulazioni wanted to convey. In a social media post, the Italian software house declared: "We're not done with Competizione yet."

This statement takes on particular significance in the current context:

Assetto Corsa EVO in Development With Assetto Corsa EVO in development and scheduled for release, many speculated that ACC was destined to be abandoned. This declaration suggests instead that Kunos intends to continue supporting the GT3 simulator.

Possible Future Developments Community speculation focuses on two possible directions:

• Minimal Content: More livery and season updates, similar to the current one
• Substantial Content: New cars, tracks, or game modes

Reported Technical Issues

Despite enthusiasm for the new update, some Xbox Series X|S users have reported force feedback issues after installing the update. This type of technical problem isn't unusual for racing simulator updates, but represents a concern for players using wheels and other specialized input devices.

Significance for the Community

The arrival of GT World Challenge 2024 content on console has several important meanings:

Content Parity For the first time in months, console versions of ACC are aligned with the PC version in terms of official content, eliminating console players' frustration of feeling like second-class citizens.

Sign of Vitality The update demonstrates that Kunos hasn't abandoned ACC, despite the parallel development of Assetto Corsa EVO.

Future Preparation This could be the first of a series of updates that might arrive while Assetto Corsa EVO completes its development.

Conclusions

The GT World Challenge 2024 update for next-gen consoles of Assetto Corsa Competizione represents much more than a simple content addition. It's a signal that Kunos Simulazioni hasn't forgotten its console community and that ACC will continue to receive attention even during the development of its spiritual successor.

While we wait to see what the future holds for ACC, this free update offers console players the opportunity to experience the emotions of GT World Challenge 2024, including Valentino Rossi's iconic presence in the GT racing world.
