Cyberpunk Sim Racer? You can use a wheel in CD Projekt Red's futuristic game


Cyberpunk 2077 finally launched last week, and gamers everywhere have fallen in love with it.

While it is available on console, it has seemingly flopped on PS4 & Xbox One, with old consoles struggling to run the game. Next-gen consoles are fine, but it has quickly become clear that Cyberpunk is one for the PC Master Race.

One of the big reasons for that, is it turns out you can use a wheel for Cyberpunk! Well, sort of.

Using a wheel in Cyberpunk 2077

The Shed Racer himself, YouTuber Jimmy Broadbent, recently posted a video where he managed to get behind the wheel in Cyberpunk and race around using his Fanatec wheel.

After dropping into his Steam settings to map the buttons on his wheel, Jimmy was able to go driving around Night City in his sim rig.

It's worth noting that he couldn't set it up with pedals, and so had to use the gear paddles as throttle and brake.
