Assetto Corsa Evo (Early Access) just got released at midnight and I grabbed this deal on Instant Gaming. Can confirm it works on Steam and downloading. They send you a Steam key the moment you purchase and can use that on your Steam Account.

Steam is also having an introductory offer at $47.16

Edit: Just finished downloading the game and can confirm the game launches

Edit2: Thought I'd add that Instant Gaming customer service is also pretty good from experience. They issued a refund for a friend who bought the version that was locked to Latin America, which didn't work and they gave him a refund instantly

I also found out that the EU, US and Canada version is "ROW" (which stands for Rest of World) so definitely shouldn't have any issues with any potential region locking in the future (unless Australia itself gets region locked out of the ROW version). But seems unlikely just going by the previous AC games - they didn't seem to region lock Australia to its own region so we should be fine.

    Works. Was a little nervous as after I had paid saw it doesnt list Oceania. But it works. Thanks saved me almost 10bux.

      Yeah, I just finished downloading and can confirm that the game launches!

    The reception doesn't seem great for this so far (at least according to Steam reviews), but it's a good price if you know what you're getting into and have the patience for it to improve.

      Keep in mind that it is still in Early Access so expect bugs and whatnot. A lot of the complaints on Steam Review seems to be about offline features being locked behind an "online requirement" - game is in Offline mode only atm

      Price-wise, I think it's incredibly cheap for a new game.

        It took the original assetto corsa a while to get going well, this has always been the way for sim titles, hugely complex games with usually very small dev teams. These games aren't made by AAA studios. People expecting perfection on day one will be disappointed, I like being a long for the ride. There's plenty of racing games to satisfy most until ACE is complete

        It's not a new release game though.

        It's just a pre-beta release of a game in development.

        How is paying $38 to play a partially developed offline-only product "incredibly cheap" ???

          Because you also get the 1.0 game by buying now

          • BargainHunter9876543 on 17/01/2025 - 14:03

            @PhatTofu: You don't even know if it will get to a 1.0 release ……………

            @spad: That analogy is probably more appropriate for indie games with no proven track record.

    I went with direct through steam so if its a dumpster fire i can refund

    • DevlicK on 17/01/2025 - 09:52

      Fair but at least we're not paying $80+ for a dumpster fire new game

      • macmanluke on 17/01/2025 - 10:24

        yea i thought the steam price of $47 was actually pretty reasonable, no doubt going to be higher by release.

        Unlike LMU thats around $140 with all DLC in early access

    It's also available on GamersGate for $42.44 if you're not comfortable with grey market sellers.

    FWIW I've played half an hour with a controller and am very impressed. Plays really well, looks absolutely stunning, and is locked 120fps on my rig. No server issues for me, I think they've fixed that already

    • PhatTofu on 17/01/2025 - 11:27

      Curious because I read some people saying it doesn't seem designed for controller. What controller, and did it work out of the box, or required full mapping of controls?

      • DevlicK on 17/01/2025 - 11:38
        +1

        I used an xbox controller (as I was just testing it out and couldn't be bothered jumping into my sim) and it worked straight out of the box.

        Agree with @jk82 that it plays decently on controller.

  • wid on 17/01/2025 - 10:02

    PayPal fee.. is this normal?

    Seems I have no been paying attention to my PayPal purchases.

    • XPunK on 17/01/2025 - 10:06

      On these kind of stores its pretty normal. Sometimes on particular CC (ie. Amex or other) too.

  • Ozvalue on 17/01/2025 - 10:10

    Works thanks OP. Game downloading in steam

      Which is more expensive, where’s the bargain?

  • pitoui on 17/01/2025 - 11:13

    Awesome. Paid $37.63 AUD with yuplay, with the 5% off new user code.

    Price may have come down since?

  • neosin on 17/01/2025 - 11:23

    Apparently vr performance is utter garbage :(

  • kaykay4 on 17/01/2025 - 11:29

    its listed as " Europe & USA & Canada" would this cause region issues after GA?

    • DevlicK on 17/01/2025 - 11:37
      +1

      Shouldn't have issues with EU, US and Canada region as it is the most common region for region-locking purposes. Australia doesn't usually have it's on region and usually follows either EU or US or both

      I'm also able to play it now which should provide some comfort

    • Namidairo on 17/01/2025 - 11:48

      For this game, it appears the publisher has not opted to split out the key redemption into regions at this time.

      https://steamdb.info/app/3058630/subs/

      You can see there's only a single sub at the moment, so they can't apply region locking without it being a global lockout.

      Many other large publishers do split them out by region though, usually to facilitate region specific pricing.

      It also does not rule out it happening in the future.

      I'd still probably end up going to fanatical instead, as others have suggested over this seller… Although racing games aren't really my thing.

        Good due diligence!

        So I found out that the EU, US and Canada version is "ROW" (which stands for Rest of World) so definitely shouldn't have any issues with any potential region locking in the future (unless Australia itself gets region locked out of the ROW version).

    This is actually a great deal for something that will continue to cook for 6 or so months. We should look at this as a huge plus to get an early access at sub $40 price and devs have come out to say they will listen to feedback.

    If you've played AC or ACC you know that the end result is a fantastic finished product. Kunos will nail this, but please remember its still a Beta.

    This could be an add to your library, play it for 4-5 hours, come back in 6 months when version 1.0 is launched to something brilliant!

    Great day for sim racers out there :)

    On the Instant Gaming website in the cart it says "Warning, our codes for this game are NOT AVAILABLE in your country!" is that an issue?

  • JC1186 on 17/01/2025 - 18:19

    Ozbargain, one of the few places where there’s actually a great chance someone won’t say “Just go iRacing bro if you’re a serious sim racer!” lmfao. 🤪

    Never understood why you’d discount other sims. They all hit differently. Despite playing iRacing the most myself too.

    Great price and no doubt Kunos will keep working hard!
