Project CARS coming to next-gen and SteamOS

Slightly Mad Studios have announced that crowd-powered, AAA racing title Project CARS will be coming to three further gaming platforms in 2014.

Both Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One consoles will see Project CARS racing onto them during 2014 as gaming enters the next generation with “new benchmarks of graphical fidelity” and “technical power becoming possible and Project CARS aiming to set a new standard for virtual racing”.

Slightly Mad also declared that Project CARS will be coming to the forthcoming SteamOS some time in the future, following on from their partnership with Steam that has given tens of thousands of members the ability to play test early builds of the game during its development and test some of the mulitplayer and social features.

Ian Bell, the head of the studio declared that:

“Project CARS has always led the pack in terms of insane detail. Whether that’s graphically in the craftsmanship of our cars and tracks, technically in the way we’ve approached weather and time of day, or emotionally in how each car feels and responds to your touch. These powerful new platforms allow us therefore to not compromise on the quality of our vision and ultimately that means players are going to experience something truly breathtaking when they get behind the wheel.” 

Project CARS will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam OS, PC, and Wii U starting Fall 2014.
