After a long wait, Assetto Corsa EVO is finally here! The first Early Access release has launched, and now we know the price and the storage requirements as well.
The day is finally here, with the early access for Assetto Corsa EVO now available with five tracks and 20 cars to choose from. But everyone - including us - has still been wondering: How much will it cost and how much storage is needed to install it?
16 January is the day that many sim racers have been waiting for, with Assetto Corsa EVO becoming available in Early Access on Steam as of 15:00 UTC / 16:00 CET - which turned into an hour later with an unplanned delay. We already know everything from included content to system requirements.
But of course, one thing we could not say before today was how much the early access for AC EVO would cost and the storage needed to install it on your system - the 100 GB mentioned in the specs on the game's Steam page seem a bit excessive for the first release.
Now for the storage needed. With the game being in early access with limited content, you only require a spare 39 gigabytes on your hard drive to be able to install AC EVO. Of course, as updates are expected to roll out, that number will of course increase. But for now, it will only be 39 spare on your local disk to be able to install and launch it.
If you are reading this article within the first few hours of release, our own @Yannik Haustein is live over on our Twitch channel with his first go at the public build of AC EVO, which is now available on Steam.
