SIM RIG COMPATIBLE...

[grubmonkey]

I'm curious as to why (within any steam game's page) there isn't any info on whether a game is sim-rig compatible. I see there's steam deck compatibility, one player, two player, etc. but nothing for sim-rigs. I've already bought a Need For Speed game in the past (for example), assuming it was sim-rig compatible, and had to get my money back, because it wasn't. I can't imagine it would be that tough to include this...just an idea that may help folks make better buying decisions.

I would guess thats because of how many different wheels and other setups there are. Just saying "wheel compatible" will get them yelled at when someones wheel doesn't actually work with a game right. From the 5 or 6 different companies right off the top of my head that I can think of that make race wheels, they all use different software and they all don't support all the games out there to the same extent. This doesn't even take into consideration all the other non-wheel stuff people can setup for their sim rigs that you can buy on their own.

If you want to know if your stuff works with it, then ask in the games discussion area.

Valve also isn't the one that puts the info on the store page. All that is 100% up to the game developer, so if you want more info on the games page then go ask the developer in the games discussion area.


I have a Thrustmaster T248 and while I like the wheel, the software for it needs a lot of work. It doesn't even fully work for some newer or older games. Gotta get around to playing more of the ones I own just to test how well they are supported....

So if the game devs put anything on their store pages it would pretty much be "works with some race wheels and their software, but doesn't work with others too well and other hardware is partly supported..." so you'd end up asking in the games discussion area about wheel support anyway.

Also never assume a game works with a wheel, again ask in the games discussion area before buying the game.

nicely put, I'll keep these things in mind...thank you!
