ACC 1.9.6 adds 2023 season content, GT2 Pack support, and BOP updates
ACC v1.9.6 is live with a dedicated 2023 season, GT2 Pack season/class support, new 2023 GT World Challenge and GT2 European Series content, Red Bull Ring and GT2 cars as DLC, plus GT3/GT4 BOP revisions and an AI physics-thread fix.
ACC v1.9.6 is now available, and Kunos positions it as a content and compatibility update centered on the 2023 season structure and GT2 Pack additions. According to the official update post, some older replays or saved games may no longer be compatible, and menu/video settings may need to be reset or reloaded after updating.
