WRC wheel for PS4?

Fernando Durán

Hi,

I've seen there's a Playstation base with ... ¿XBOX wheel?

It looks really strange to me.

Do you know if there's any plan to release a "WRC Playstation wheel"? Is it just the photo is wrong?

Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with the photo. CSL Elite Racing Wheel WRC is compatible with PS4, Xbox and PC.

I understand what you say but this bundle had XBOX and Playstation version and it's almost the same wheel as the WRC.

Hi Fernando,

There are no plans to make a 'PlayStation' WRC wheel. The reason for this is because of the way our ecosystem works, where PlayStation compatibility depends on the Wheel Base, and Xbox compatibility depends on the Steering Wheel. As a result, we actually have no 'PlayStation' Steering Wheels, only Wheel Bases. The P1-style steering wheel on the 'CSL Elite Racing Wheel PS4 / Starter Kit' and the Formula-style steering wheel on the 'Podium Racing Wheel F1' have design elements that relate to PlayStation (e.g. blue stitching, blue grips, blue weave in the carbon), but this is only because they are exclusive to these PlayStation-licensed bundles (wheel plus PS-compatible base). On their own, the steering wheels are not PlayStation licensed and do not enable PlayStation compatibility.

It is not possible to create a WRC wheel, or any other wheel, that enables PlayStation compatibility in our ecosystem.
