After more than four months as an open beta, Forza Motorsport 6 Apex will finally offer steering wheel support. On Tuesday, Microsoft announced an update to the much-heralded PC version of its in-house racing franchise. As a result, racing wheels from Logitech and Thrustmaster are now supported by the gameā€”but if you've got a fancy Fanatec rig, you might have to be patient a little while longer.

The list of supported wheels includes the extremely popular Logitech G25 and G27, as well as the latest G29 and G920 models. Plenty of Thrustmaster products will also now work with Apex, including most of the company's Xbox One-compatible offerings. But it will be late September before updates to both Windows 10 and Apex allow Fanatec wheels to work with the game, according to Microsoft.

Racers planning on using an H-pattern shifter may also have a wait on their hands. Although there's already support for these peripherals if they come from Logitech (other than the G29), owners of other brands will need yet another update to the game before they function.
