As Massarutto notes, it’s not exactly a secret that a full sequel to Assetto Corsa is in development right now. It’s slated to arrive in 2024, and although there’s not much information on it right now, the Kunos founder was able to share a couple of details.

While the team did investigate Unreal Engine 5 as a potential basis for AC2 — with UE4 underpinning ACC — it will instead be using its own newly developed engine, just as it did with AC originally.

That’s not due to any particular problems with UE5, just that KS wants to use its own tools to allow it to do what it wants. In fact Massarutto points out that “Kunos Simulazioni is not a gaming studio, it’s much more a technology provider, and ‘accidentally’ we also make racing games”!

I think it depends on what headset and the standard of graphics you are comparing it too. With a 3090 GPU and i7 9600k and using a Reverb Pro G1 the graphics when compared to AC VR is absolute shite :'( :'( :'(.
