Some of the major critiques for the retro-racer are being ticked off.
Formula Legends now supports steering wheels on PC, with consoles coming later.
But, in our opinion, this isn’t the most-important part of the Version 1.3 update that was released today, 13th February 2026.
By far and away, one of the most frustrating elements of the 3DClouds-created title has been the sticky, unpredictable, car-to-car contact. At times, it would ruin the experience.
A new system has now been implemented, in theory proving more life-like contact – thank goodness.
Tied in with this feature is the addition of visual damage, being able to map wheel control inputs and changes to qualifying timings.
Oh, and yes, you can now drive it on PC with Fanatec, Logitech, Thurstmaster and Moza equipment – the brands which are believed to make up the majority of the wheel market.
There are further updates and DLC to come, with the next teased to be contemporary, perhaps based around the 2026 definitely-not-F1 season.
