After a long wait, the latest version of Assetto Corsa has been released for consoles! The version 1.2 and Porsche Pack content have been released for Playstation 4, with the Xbox One version coming tomorrow.

One of the highlights in the version 1.2 release is the fine tuning of the damage and repair engine. That has been one of the common complaints, and it is a good thing this has been addressed.

In addition, more events have been added for DLC owners. More events have been implemented for Red Pack, Porsche Pack II and Porsche Pack III owners.

Speaking of Porsche Pack III, it is finally released! The pack focuses on the modern era Porsches, but also adds two classics to the lineup. The Porsche 911 RSR GT3 2017 is still undergoing testing, but the car will be released as a free add-on to the DLC owners.
