News Project CARS 5.0 update available for PS4, Xbox One to follow shortly

The 5.0 patch for Project CARS is now available for Playstation 4 players several days after it was first made publicly available on the PC. With no update just yet, Xbox One owners will have to remain patient, however developer Slightly Mad Studios assure us that it will be coming shortly.

The Playstation 4 5.0 update is a hefty 4GB and much like the earlier PC patch contains a plethora of bug fixes and improvements including enhanced AI behaviour in put lanes, improved frame rates at Watkins Glen, tyre overheating issues for the Ginetta G40 are addressed and many more problems have been tweaked and fixed.

You can see the full changelog for the Playstation 4 update below, expect the Xbox One update to arrive in the coming days.

Career

Controls

* Logitech G29/G920 – updated default controller map sets for the layouts to be consistent between wheels and across platforms.

Tracks

* Barcelona GP – fixed cut track issue when entering the pit lane.

Vehicles

* Aston Martin DBR 1-2 – set the car up so that the steering wheel remains in a static state when the user chooses the ‘hide wheel’ option, so that the user can still read the vital info displayed on the wheel.
