Available on PC since December 16, 2024, RENNSPORT will soon be arriving on consoles too, to the delight of simracing enthusiasts. But what does this new racing simulation game really offer? Can it really dethrone racing mentors such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa and Gran Turismo? And what challenges do the developers face in adapting the gameplay to PlayStation and Xbox?

RENNSPORT’s strength in racing simulation

RENNSPORT is a racing simulation game developed by Competition Company and Teyon. Competition Company is a German racing simulation game production studio. RENNSPORT is its first ultra-realistic simracing project. The German studio aims to create a complete e-sport platform for simracing, with a particular focus on realistic visuals and the racing experience. Teyon is a Polish production studio. It is best known for its action and combat games such as Terminator: Resistance and RoboCop: Rogue City.

The strength of RENNSPORT lies precisely in this collaboration between the two studios. Competition Company brings its expertise in car simulation, particularly in terms of physics, realism and e-sports. The studio’s experience enables it to offer players a highly realistic driving experience. Competition Company also aims to make RENNSPORT a global competitive platform with stable servers and a unified community between PC and consoles. For its part, Teyon will enable the game to be better adapted to consoles, guaranteeing a fluid, optimized experience on both controllers and steering wheels. RENNSPORT therefore promises to be more than just a console port, a version optimized for the capabilities of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to guarantee a fully immersive experience.

The special features of RENNSPORT

RENNSPORT promises to take its place among the best simracing licenses on console. Indeed, the game boasts advanced realism thanks to the Unreal Engine 5. This cutting-edge graphics engine delivers ultra-worked textures. Car and circuit modeling has been faithfully reproduced, with even greater attention to detail. Players will be able to enjoy details such as reflections, tire wear and dynamic weather. The work on shadows is also very successful. Optimized light and shadow effects enhance player immersion.

The driving experience also promises to be a thrilling one, with its advanced suspension, mass transfer and grip management systems. Players will be able to feel the differences in driving under changing weather conditions, and according to the characteristics of the car and the level of tire wear.

Thanks to cross-play, players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC will be able to compete without the slightest restriction. It will even be possible to start a career on PC, for example, and continue it on console.

So, when exactly will RENNSPORT be released on console? The precise date is still unclear, but the release is scheduled for 2025. If we follow the release trends of other racing simulation games, we can expect a console arrival in the middle of the year.
