Automobilista Early Access Available on Steam

Reiza Studios have released their Early Access version of the Automobilista Racing Simulator on the Steam platform.

Automobilista is the natural successor to Reiza Studios previous title Stock Car Extreme, originally released in 2013 – Automobilista continues to simulate the premium Brazilian racing series such as Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas, Formula 3 Brasil and Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, now packing every car and every track from their respective 2015 championships.

Keep in mind that everyone who purchased Game Stock Car Extreme before January 6th will be getting the full game free of charge. Those who yet have to purchase the game will have the opportunity to take advantage of a 20% discount when opting for the Early Access version. In time, the price will gradually increase until the game reaches its full release version.

You can purchase the Automobilista Early Access version at the official Steam Store page for 29,59€.

Keep in mind that the moment, it is not yet possible to join a multiplayer event, but Reiza Studios has already announced that later tonight, they will release an update to fix the issue.

 

Why Early Access?

“While Automobilista is already at a very advanced stage of development, there are still some final pieces of content to be added to complete what is a very extensive package. The new simulation features and community tools will in turn, benefit from testing with the broader user base we intend to gather during Early Access, not only from new comers but also everyone that purchased Stock Car Extreme before January 6th who will be getting the game free of charge.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate Automobilista will have a relatively short Early Access stage, in between 30-60 days before full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“While the content base is largely complete, a couple of remaining new cars and tracks are still in development will be added to the base package during Early Access stage, along with further fine tuning of our large roster of cars and tracks.

New core simulation features and gameplay options are also in development and will be added over the course of Early Access.

Community-based features such as online leaderboards and the Steam-based matchmaker, along with new tools to enhance both online and single player competitions will be introduced and developed along Early Access stage.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently an advanced beta stage and 90% complete.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes – we will begin early access 20% off the full release pricing, and gradually reduce that discount as we approach the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Since the game is free to everyone who purchased our previous title Stock Car Extreme before January 6th 2016, it should provide us a broader testing base for the development of our new Steam-based Matchmaker and Leaderboard systems, in order to make sure that upon release the game is firing on all cylinders!”
