Here is the long awaited news about PlayStation 4 and Project CARS.
With the ClubSport Wheel V2 you can play all three versions of Project CARS.
Please note that for Xbox One you still need to add a Xbox One compatible steering wheel rim while on the PS4 the wheels will work as they are and you don't even need to put them in PlayStation mode.
The first Xbox One steering wheel will be announced very soon.
Press release:
“Gamers have been enjoying the solid build quality, integrated technology, and pure driving sensation of these fantastic products for a while now on PC and previous-generation platforms but through a continued collaboration with the team at Fanatec players are now going to be able to use the wheels they already own or are thinking of purchasing with Project CARS via an update on day one.”
“The quality of the input devices play an important role in the immersion factor of a simulation and especially our ClubSport series delivers an automotive quality and experience level. We are now bringing this level to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and Project CARS is the perfect title to make best use of our technology. This combination is a new milestone on gaming consoles.” (Thomas Jackermeier, CEO Endor AG / Fanatec)

I feel sorry for those , PS4, who sold their Fanatec gear to buy the V2 and now...THAT LATE...they come to see that ALL gear works with PS4.
THINK you could have made that announcement WAY sooner Thomas!
Will it also work with Driveclub?
On PS every game needs to integrate special drivers to make a peripheral work. But it is not difficult to implement those drivers. The challenge for us was to develop those drivers. We now gave the drivers to the game developers and you can expect more compatible games in future.
Only wished I knew this 2 weeks SOONER!!!!! Now all LE are sold out for PS4 !!! :-&
(
BUT well done Fanatec team !!! So a firmware update available too pretty soon ?
I'll have to get a PCars LE somewhere before I buy a PS4
I hope will also works on Driveclub, I know it's pure arcade but is fun !
Real simulators like Pcars for me is better on PC.
Hope the XB1 rim will be realease very soon !
Thank You to all Fanatec team for the great work !
I am eager for the Xbox one wheel, but I can still have fun either on PC or PS4!
Fortunately I have all 3 platforms.
Good job Thomas!
I think we just have to waait for the new firmware ...............!!!!
Mein altes CSR ist direkt ein wenig mehr Wert beim Verkauf, ist schließlich nun auch kompatibel zur PS4. Fehlt nur noch das Xbox One Lenkrad für meine V2 Basis und ich kann endlich wieder Platz in meinem CSL nehmen. Laufe aber noch "schwanger" damit ob ich mir nicht den neuen Shifter auch noch zulegen soll und zwar als Kombination H-Schaltung und Sequentiell.
Warte aber erst noch das Lenkrad für die One ab. Das wird sowieso sofort bestellt wenn es im Shop verfügbar ist. Ich höre von Euch. :-)
The CPX is worth it's money in GOLD Granville...put it on e bay or similar and it'll go trough the roof !!!
@ Thomas...could you please please please let us XBoxers know that it is possible to have an XOne rim at home when PCars hits the shelves......cause I'm allready mailing people for a second hand PS4...real frustrating to be kept in the dark...
YEAH YEAH I know....I chose so BUT STILL
