Landshut, 2.4.2015 - Fanatec is proud to announce the Universal Hub for Xbox One. This controller takes modularity and realism to a whole new level.
This innovative device allows you choose between several styles of wheel rims to match your preferred racing category:
- GT for supercars and road racing
- Oval for NASCAR and similar series
- Drift for rally, off-road and drift simulations
- Classic for vintage race cars
- Round1 for vintage open wheelers
- Flat1 for modern open wheelers, F1, LMP1 or DTM series
These wheel rims have automotive quality and could be used in real race cars. They all are covered in genuine leather and come in different diameters.
But you can also purchase the Universal Hub for Xbox One without a wheel rim and use any wheel rim you want or already own. It is comparable to real car steering wheels from famous brands like SPARCO, MOMO or OMP.
With every Universal Hub for Xbox One, you have the option to configure the button layout to your preference and the position and angle of every button can also be adjusted. You can also take off some of the small button boxes without losing functionality as all buttons are also on top of the hub casing. You have the choice of two different sizes and styles of paddle shifters and even those are fully adjustable.
Just like many other Fanatec steering wheels, it also comes with a Tuning LED display (detachable) to show telemetry info or change wheel settings on the fly. It also comes with the genius 7-way FunkySwitch™ encoder.
The Universal Hub for Xbox One can be used on the ClubSport Wheel Base V2 and on some upcoming wheel bases from Fanatec. As soon as you connect the Universal Hub for Xbox One, the base will be switched into Xbox One mode using force feedback protocol with the new and advanced equation system.
There is also a hot-key to use the Universal Hub for Xbox One on PC and other gaming platforms. It is the most compatible product on the market!
There are several more wheel bases at various price points planned to be released and there will also be another steering wheel for Xbox One to be announced later this year which will be targeted to a broader audience at a much lower price point.
The Universal Hub for Xbox One will be available on May 28th in Europe, USA, Australia and Japan.

Here it is!!!
Buying it right away!!!
So is there a way to just upgrade my universal hub to suit the xbone rather than ending up with 2 universal hubs.
If I had known that this was the way it would come around I would have bought a Formula wheel when I bought the CSWB V2 instead of the universal hub.
it is not possible to make an upgrade as we cannot sell the electronics separately.
When will we be able to place our pre orders?
Oh, boy
Thomas, do I understand correctly?
That item:
http://www.fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-universal-hub-for-xbox-one-eu.html
coupled with v2 connects and works on PS4 as well - is that coorect?
Thank you, order placed.
I just noticed that too?
Is there any reason (difference) in the bundle compared to ordering seperetly Thomas?
Yes. However, seems like an error when I choose the bundle:
http://www.fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-gt-xbox-one-eu.html
Yes it is. Refresh the page and you should see it.
Just in case there is a little extra in the bundle package
Boy, why those wheels are sooo plain
Ordering anyways
They are the same rims that have been available for 6+ months.
I've wanted to buy Porsche 918-like wheel - just to let you know where I am coming from
