You, as well as some fans, may have noticed a distinct lack of Fanatec controllers for the PS4 version; Fanatec being one of the foremost steering wheel manufacturers. Codemasters released an official statement on the matter:

“Codemasters will continue to support officially approved peripherals for PlayStation 4 in F1 2016. We appreciate that this is far from an ideal situation and as always we are making every effort we can to support our community. Sadly this matter is out of our hands, but we will continue our dialogue with both Sony and Fanatec to try to find a solution.”

F1 2016 will launch on 19th August and feature a revised career mode that consists of ten full seasons as opposed to five, as well as many other changes.
