Need For Speed PC Release Date Is 17 March, With Manual Transmission And Wheel Support Confirmed
It’s fair to say that Need For Speed already looks pretty damn gorgeous on console, but with the announcement that the PC version will finally hit virtual shelves on 17 March, EA has promised an even better looking game. PC gamers with high-end machines will be able to enjoy the game at 4k resolution with an unlocked framerate.
As we guessed following yesterday’s teaser video, NFS on PC comes with manual transmission (this will also be available to console users via an update soon), but the exciting news is that wheel and peripheral support is coming to the PC version of the game - Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec will have compatible wheels from launch.
The PC version will also contain all the updates applied to the console version via free DLC straight out of the box, with the only exception being the Showcase mode, which will be available shortly after launch.

Let’s hype, gamers!
It’s march 15th btw.
Also: Hype hype hype.
That’s America. 17th for rest of the world
It says 17th on the website. Probably 15th in US and 17th in Europe.
March 15th, you say?
Happy birthday to me!
Meh still don’t care because there’s no point having a manual if the handling is so unpredictable and there aren’t enough cars still. Basically it being auto only was just a piece of the problem
So, people btch about manual not being in the game, they listen to the community and add manual and then btch about something else. Seems about right.
will they also change the physics and the “need net to play” issue? no? ok then not worth it
Good on them for adding it. Yet another step in the right direction. Won’t touch it until they change the handling though.
Absolutely the cars are so stiff without drifting it’s rediculous
Yeah same here
Woo hoo!!! 5 days before my birthday!!!
6 days after my birthday :D
I hope they update the console versions to include manual shifting.
They will.
So manual is only for PC?
SHIttt

“Manual Transmission” PC guys be like
Ahem It will come to consoles too.
Anyone getting goose bumps when watching?
