After previously being in closed beta and exclusively on the Epic Launcher, Rennsport is now available on the Steam store in its open beta form.
With the unconventional approach to the release of Rennsport, for the longest time the sim was a no-go for many due to it only being on the Epic Games Store. But those who have been waiting for its release on Steam to try it out can now do so - Rennsport is lining up next to all your other Steam games.
Competition Company have formally announced on the Rennsport socials that the title is now available on Steam. Launching as a playtest, all you need to do is download and request access to the open beta, and everything already available on the Epic Launcher version of the title will be there.
This includes purchased content like one of the Founders Packs, which, at certain tiers, can give one access to the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and the Porsche 911 GT3 R Rennsport car. Any and all content acquired from the Founders Pack will automatically carry over.
As for those who plan to remain with the Epic Launcher, all the online races will cross over so you can race with those playing the version on the other launcher. Meaning crossplay between Epic and Steam is possible.
Regarding content, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit was announced as being introduced into Rennsport, and was seen in action during the ESL R1 Major last month. It has not been added to the platform yet, and there is no indication that it will arrive with the Steam launch.
