Hardware

New images snapped last week at the Sim Racing Expo have given us our first proper look at the Fanatec’s direct drive wheel.

It’s been a long time coming, but the wait is over: Fanatec’s CSL Elite PS4 is now available for order in North America.

Fanatec has announced its newest hardware line, the Podium Series. The new high-end lineup will sit above the existing ClubSport Series, and will kick off with the company’s much-anticipated direct drive wheel.

Fanatec has taken the wraps off its latest steering wheel. The CSL Elite P1 is the Xbox equivalent of its first officially-licensed PS4 wheel.

As the autumn racing game season begins to heat up, Thrustmaster has revealed more info on its latest PC/XB1 wheel, the TS-XW Racer.

Just as we suspected yesterday, from the subtle hints, Sony has revealed a limited edition PS4 console in conjunction with GT Sport.

At this year’s pre-Gamescom event, Microsoft revealed the Xbox One X is now available for pre-order. Originally unveiled at E3 this past June, the One X will retail for $499 when released on November 7. Also revealed was a special edition of the upcoming console, the Project Scorpio Edition priced at $499 as well.

While Sony may not be holding a presser at Gamescom this week, it seems the Japanese giant still has some surprises in store. Case in point: PlayStation Europe is teasing what appears to be a new PS4 console.

One of the great bugbears for driving game fans is wheel compatibility. Unless you’re willing to spend huge sums, one wheel won’t work on both major consoles. And, it seems, old wheels are obsoleted every time a new console comes out anyway.

The world of sim racing rigs can be a challenging one to navigate. Products come in all shapes and sizes — and prices can easily stretch into the four digits. If you’re looking to get into a full-on chassis, but are concerned about affordability and ease of use, GranStand has an offering you won’t want to overlook.

Earlier this year, Fanatec unveiled its latest product, the CSL Elite. No, not the one we reviewed last year — a new model, featuring official support for the most popular console this generation, the PlayStation 4.

During last year’s E3, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Design Lab, the Redmond team’s online customization tool for Xbox One controllers. At this year’s event, Microsoft announced an expansion to the program, giving users even more customization options.

Thrustmaster and Sparco have announced a new partnership between the two brands. The agreement will see Thrustmaster supplying licensed Sparco products to complement its own game controllers.

During its E3 2017 program, Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed an impressive sales success for the PlayStation 4.

Thrustmaster has revealed its much-anticipated Gran Turismo Sport tie-in T-GT racing wheel this year’s E3.

Originally announced during last year’s gaming event, Microsoft has finally revealed the name of Project Scorpio. Meet the new Xbox One X.

Thrustmaster has revealed the name of its upcoming wheel ahead of E3 and it goes by the name of “T-GT”. Originally teased on the Thrustmaster Facebook page, the name of the new peripheral disproves prior listings of the “T700”.

With only a few days remaining until E3, Microsoft has revealed Project Scorpio will offer additional memory to game developers. Xbox chief Mike Ybarra took to Twitter, announcing that developers can access an additional 1GB of RAM for games. For those keeping count, that bumps the total up to 9GB.

At Gran Turismo Sport’s blowout event back in May of 2016, a mysterious Thrustmaster-branded wheel sat in a glass case. In May of this year, numerous retailers began putting up listings for the supposed Thrustmaster “T700.” We still don’t have the full details about this wheel, but the peripheral maker has thrown us a bone or two over the past few days.

Shortly after revealing its new PS4 wheel offering, Fanatec has dropped some new information on the team’s upcoming direct drive steering wheel.
