Assetto Corsa EVO and Assetto Corsa Rally are expected to leave Early Access during the first half of 2027, according to the latest financial outlook from Digital Bros. The parent company of publisher 505 Games has scheduled the full release of both racing simulators for the second half of its 2026/27 fiscal year, placing their current target window between January and June 2027.
The information comes from Digital Bros’ financial results published on September 24, 2026. In its business outlook, the company states that its release schedule for the next fiscal year will be concentrated in the second half and specifically includes the full release of Assetto Corsa EVO and Assetto Corsa Rally alongside Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement.
Digital Bros operates on a fiscal year running through June 30, meaning the second half of FY2026/27 covers the period from January 1 through June 30, 2027. That provides the clearest indication so far of when both Assetto Corsa projects are expected to transition out of Early Access.
However, this should not be treated as a confirmed launch date from either development studio. KUNOS Simulazioni has not announced a specific 1.0 release date for Assetto Corsa EVO, while Supernova Games Studios has likewise not set a public date for the full release of Assetto Corsa Rally.
Assetto Corsa EVO Is Still Progressing Through Early Access
Assetto Corsa EVO entered Early Access on PC in January 2025 and has continued to receive substantial updates throughout development. The simulator reached Early Access version 0.9 on August 26, 2026, with an update focused heavily on competition features and driving improvements.
Version 0.9 introduced worldwide Special Event leaderboards, mandatory pit stops in multiplayer, an updated racing slick tyre model and additional Force Feedback and input improvements. Three cars were also added: the Audi R8 LMS GT2, Audi R8 V10 performance quattro and Mazda RX-7 FD Spirit R.
KUNOS continues to describe EVO as an ongoing Early Access project with additional development phases still to come before version 1.0. The official Assetto Corsa website specifically presents the current programme as a progression from the start of Early Access through continued development and eventually the end of Early Access and full release.
This makes the Digital Bros forecast particularly useful. Until now, KUNOS had provided a development roadmap and regular updates without committing publicly to a firm 1.0 launch window. The financial documents now suggest that the publisher group is internally targeting the first six months of 2027.
Assetto Corsa Rally Is Currently on Version 0.6
Assetto Corsa Rally is following a similar path. Developed by Supernova Games Studios in technical partnership with KUNOS Simulazioni, the rally simulator remains available in Early Access on PC and reached version 0.6 on September 10, 2026.
The latest update added the Audi Quattro Gr.4, Peugeot 206 WRC and Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 alongside Photo Mode, private multiplayer lobbies and custom livery support. Physics work also continued with changes to the tyre thermal model, gravel surfaces and self-aligning torque across the car roster.
As with EVO, Assetto Corsa Rally’s official material continues to describe the title as an evolving Early Access project. Digital Bros now expects both games to reach their full releases during the same half-year period, although that does not necessarily mean they will launch version 1.0 at the same time.
Both Games Will Continue Receiving Content After 1.0
Digital Bros also confirmed that reaching full release will not mark the end of development for either simulator. The company states that both Assetto Corsa titles will be supported with additional content released over time after their respective full launches.
That is consistent with the long-term model used across the Assetto Corsa franchise, where new cars, circuits and feature updates have traditionally extended the lifespan of each title well beyond its original release. The financial report does not specify what post-launch content is planned, how much will be free or whether paid DLC programmes will begin immediately after version 1.0.
Console versions are another question that remains separate from this newly identified window. Both projects have previously been associated with future console releases, but Digital Bros’ latest financial statement specifically discusses their full releases without providing a platform-by-platform launch schedule.
January to June 2027 Is a Target Window, Not a Confirmed Date
The most important distinction is that the first half of 2027 should currently be viewed as a corporate release target rather than a formal launch announcement from KUNOS or Supernova. Development schedules can change, particularly with Early Access titles where features, optimisation and community feedback can affect the timing of version 1.0.
What has changed is the level of visibility around both projects. Digital Bros is now telling investors that the full releases of Assetto Corsa EVO and Assetto Corsa Rally form part of its second-half FY2026/27 release schedule, narrowing the expected window to sometime between January and June 2027.
Until KUNOS Simulazioni, Supernova Games Studios or 505 Games announce specific dates, that six-month window is the most precise official indication currently available.
