Automobilista 2: Rast nach drei Monaten aus dem Early Access
Nach drei Monaten im Early Access hat die Rennsimulation Automobilista den Early Access bei Steam verlassen. Ab sofort steht die Vollversion zum Preis von 36,99 Euro zur Verfügung. Im Bundle mit dem Season Pass 2020-2021 werden dagegen happige 89,99 Euro mehr fällig. Aktuell gibt es für das Gesamtpaket einen Rabatt von zehn Prozent, so dass man bei 114,28 Euro landet.
Nach eigenen Angaben hat das Team der brasilianischen Reiza Studios fast alle Ziele erreicht, die man sich im Early Access gesteckt hat. Was man nicht geschafft hat, will man in Kürze nachreichen.
