With Gran Turismo 7 still nowhere to be seen, Project CARS will be the only major racing simulator for the PlayStation 4 for the foreseeable future. The videogame, which is being released on the 12th of May in the North American region, supports multiple steering wheels as well as other racing accessories that should enhance you experience, especially if you are considering getting the Project Morpheus VR headset in the future (as Slightly Mad Studios has already announced support for the virtual reality accessory).
Below is a list of complementary accessories that you should consider buying along with the PS4 version of Project CARS.
Officially Support PlayStation 4 Wheels
Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed that two native PS4 wheels will work with Project CARS. If you are looking for the best quality, you should opt for the Thrustmaster T300RS, which offers 1080 degrees of rotation in addition to force feedback and metal pedals. You can check out the racing wheel set with this page on Amazon.
If you are looking for a much cheaper option, the Thrustmaster T80 is also compatible with the racing simulator. However, this does not have any rumble and can only be rotated 270 degrees. If you are still interested, you can check out the T80 here. Otherwise, we suggest spending more money for the much better T300RS.
PC and PlayStation 3 Racing Wheels Compatible with Project CARS on PS4
Slightly Mad Studios is also adding support for several PC and PS3 wheels that will work with the PlayStation 4 version of Project CARS. Both the Thrustmaster T500RS and Thrustmaster T300 Ferrari GTE offer 1080 degrees rotation in addition to force feedback. You can purchase the former with this link.
