505 Games announced a partnership with Assetto Corsa developer Kunos Simulazioni to publish the racing simulator Assetto Corsa on PS4 and Xbox One next year.

Assetto Corsa New Features:

• Over one hundred high-performance cars, including the Team Lotus 98T, the Pagani Zonda R, the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Mercedes C9 and the McLaren MP4-12C GT3.
• Over twenty different track configurations, including famed courses such as Silverstone Circuit, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Autodromo Nazionale Monza, and Nürburgring-Nordschleife.
• Single and Multiplayer racing modes, with customizable Race Weekends, preset Challenges or full-scale Career Mode.
• Refined race-craft AI, with up to twenty-four cars competing for the podium places in the PC version of the game.
• While many that don’t know this title will possibly wonder about having another racing game on console, Assetto Corsa actually differs from the rest, as it’s as close to a simulator as we’ll probably get on PS4 and Xbox One.

Assetto Corsa is currently available on Steam and will be making its way to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016. We will bring you any new information on Assetto Corsa as soon as it becomes available.
