Our sources told us security chips are required for full compatibility with Sony's console.

It turns out there may be more to this story than PS4 security chips.

So how does it work with DriveClub when other manufacturers' PS3 wheels do not? Unfortunately Thrustmaster declined our request for an interview. The T500 obviously doesn't have this PS4 security chip. But once you're in, say, DriveClub, the wheel works fine. When using it with a PS4, our tests show the PS button doesn't work and you can't navigate the system menus, so to get into a game you need a DualShock 4.

Eurogamer's Martin Robinson owns a Thrustmaster T500, which, officially, only works on PC and PS3. But it does not appear to be a sticking point for Thrustmaster. These statements suggest the security chip is the sticking point when it comes to compatibility. Only if you get the official approval from Microsoft you will be able to purchase such a security chip for Xbox One. The security chip needs to be purchased by the third-party manufacturer from Microsoft and it makes sure that only official licensed products can be connected to the console. The new console uses a completely different force feedback communication protocol, wireless transmission protocol and a different security chip. The wheel rims contain the pivotal security chip.īack in May, Fanatec responded to its customers who were waiting for news of Xbox One support. It plans to release Xbox One wheel rims you can attach to one of its wheel bases.

It doesn't have an Xbox One wheel right now, but it recently announced it had signed a license agreement with Microsoft to make racing peripherals for Xbox One. What about PS4? The security chip issue once again rears its ugly head, as Neville explains:Ī PS4 racing wheel is required to include an authenticating security chip which handshakes with the console for verification, as such our older PS3 wheels will not function on PS4.įanatec is another steering wheel maker. For a console that's not backwards compatible with its predecessor when it comes to games, perhaps this comes as no surprise. This suggests there's something about the way Xbox One is designed that means Xbox 360 steering wheels will not work - beyond the security chip. In essence, an Xbox 360 racing wheel could not be 'understood' by Xbox One. Force feedback wheels in particular have seen changes made that vastly improve the fidelity and range of force feedback effects that are possible. Xbox One is not compatible with the XInput protocol used on Xbox 360. When launching the Xbox One, Microsoft created a brand new protocol for game controllers and input devices.

Here's Richard Neville, Mad Catz's senior product development manager: Unfortunately Logitech failed to respond to Eurogamer's request for comment, but we did have a chat with Mad Catz to get more information. Currently it does not have this chip, so it doesn't work. Peripheral manufacturers have spoken of this before: back in August, Logitech tweeted to say their popular G27 wheel, which works on PC and PS3, requires a security chip for full functionality with the PS4. Having spoken to a number of people associated with the video game console peripheral business, both on and off the record, we can paint a picture of what is a complex network of licensing deals, security chips and compatibility drivers.Īt a base level, peripherals for both the PS4 and the Xbox One must have an on board security chip.

Job done.īut what if you don't? What if you own a wheel from Logitech, or Fanatec, or Mad Catz? Their last-generation wheels are not supported on PS4, and, currently, they don't have new PS4 wheels available, either.

So if you're lucky enough to own one, like Eurogamer's resident racing nut Martin Robinson, you don't need to spend hundreds on a new wheel. Some PS3 and Xbox 360 wheels cost upwards of £300.ĭigging a little deeper, we find some of Thrustmaster's older PS3 wheels also work on PS4. "We've been working really closely with Thrustmaster on their new T80 and T300RS wheels, to make sure that they're perfectly tuned for DriveClube and the PS4," community manager Jamie Brayshaw said on the PlayStation Blog. In October we reported on Evolution's PS4-exclusive racing game DriveClub and the steering wheels it officially supports: Thrustmaster's new T80 and T300RS wheels. Many gamers forked out hundreds of pounds for expensive steering wheel peripherals for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - only to find they do not work on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
