DIRT 5 Wheel Support News - Major Update Planned for Late-November

[76561198965635790]

Hey everyone,

As we near launch day, we want to give you an update on our wheel support, and our commitment to delivering a great experience for our wheel players. We are currently working with platform holders and wheel providers to test and refine DIRT 5's wheel support options, but it's taking a little longer than we planned.

It means that, on launch, there will be limited wheel support for DIRT 5. On Xbox consoles, wheel support will be temporarily disabled, whilst very limited options will be available for PlayStation consoles and PC.

We know this will be disappointing for some players. Releasing so many SKUs, including being a day-one title for next-gen consoles, creates an array of challenges. Rest assured that the DIRT 5 team has delivered a fantastic racing experience on pad, and we're committed to making sure that feeling will be there for wheel users too.

The team is already working on an update for wheel support, currently scheduled to roll out by the end of November. This update will further open up wheel compatibility for PS4, PC and Xbox One, allowing you to configure your setup to suit your wheel preferences. We are also working hard with our platform partners to ensure we have broad wheel support for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. We'll include as many next-gen options as we can for November, but some may have to follow.

This update is a priority for the DIRT 5 team, and we'll have more news over the next couple of weeks.

Obviously, the ones with wheels won't buy it lol

This should be a pinned message, before you release the game. You need to inform the buyers beforehand, at least for me this make the game a definite NO BUY. Used to praise Codemasters for the good FFB and wheel support throughout Dirt 2-3-4, then this is just very dissapointing.

Don't forget abolut old wheels - G27 and so on.

hmm, yeah, I just fired up the amplified edition and been trying to work out how to get my fanatec DD1 working. There doesn't appear to be any way to set it up in game at all yet, which is why I came here only to find this thread. Also, there doesn't appear to be any telemetry data output setting either, please add that!

Was about to buy. Glad I saw this here first so I don’t have to refund. Will wait for wheel support.

The post should have been as news on the store page instead of hidden away in the forums.

Game doesnt launch :/

[Franckyky]

On PC game launches for me but unable to play with my T500 RS wheel. It's a shame for a car game ! The only option is to play with keyboards !
If I knew that before I wouldn't buy it. This is not cool at all
