Assetto Corsa: Greenlit on Steam by ... You!

Great community effort shown as another sim racing developer have made it to the popular Steam platform.

Kunos Simulazioni and their upcoming PC simulator Assetto Corsa have been greenlit by the community and Valve has reached out to the Italian developers to start moving things toward...

Yeah!We made it!Lets wait for the game now!

 

[JvMr]

Indeed. yay!

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Congratulations to all the team.... great reward for all the effort and dedication

If it uses steam workshop in the same way that Red Orchestra 2 uses it, we will be able to join servers and automatically grab the mods in use, and be guaranteed that the mods are always up-to-date when online. This is great news indeed!

Awesome news, a much deserved step forward for the Kunos team and the Sim-racing community in general.

For all who voted to support AC on steam, give yourselves a BIG pat on the back for a job well done, we should all be proud of what has been achieved.

Cheers

BOOM! THERE'S THE FLAVOUR.

VICTOOORRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

 

[BanjoMaster]

'Likes' all round. Huzzah for us! And also Kunos, obviously...

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

Cool!

Does this mean it's coming soon?

But seriously, this should be great news for Kunos. Being in Steam will surely increase sales, so congratulations

 

[Shadow Explorer]

At the very least there will be some reaction from Kunos.
On the other hand I really hope for a retail or a different distributor at the very least.

Kunos Simulazioni and their upcoming PC simulator Assetto Corsa have been greenlit by the community and Valve has reached out to the Italian developers to start moving things toward release on Steam.

Does this mean that there is now a timescale in which Kunos HAVE to keep to in regards to a release? Just wondering as Kunos have never worked to that kind of schedule, have they?

 

[Shadow Explorer]

Well things are in motion, What I do not understand,other than a release being closer now,which is pretty understandable
Why everyone is so excited to rent the game in a DRM service like steam...

 

[the_meco]

Congrats Kunos! This should really help generate new interest. How does this modding system work then? Will it reduce traffic to websites from modders/teams or mod hosting sites?
I can certainly see the benefit of it auto downloading any mods you need though.

 

[Patcha]

YUUUHUUU!!!
Finally!

 

[CCX]

I'd been waiting for this day for quite a while. Congratulations to everyone at Kunos, you've got a very exciting future ahead of you, no doubt, as we have in the sim racing community. You deserve all the success you get.

 

[Mr Whippy]

I clicked to support it but I think I'll buy this with an actual box and install away from the Steam platform...

I've made the mistake a few times of not backing up my steam folder because it's all just downloaded again any way, but you forget about games you like to mod/tweak and store the files for in steam folders!


Well done for getting onto Steam KS!
