Sébastien Loeb Rally EVO Out Now

PQube and Milestone Studios have released the Sébastien Loeb Rally EVO game for PlayStation4, Xbox One, and STEAM PC.

These days, releasing a game seems to be a daunting task. While the game is officially announced to be available now on all platforms, it seems that the Steam version is not yet made public. The release timer is showing a “This game will unlock in approximately 4 hours” message since this morning.

Also, Milestone Studios announced that they will deploy a Patch later today. While this day 1 update mainly contains game improvements, the patch also adds Thrustmaster T500RS support for the PS4. While we applaud when developers deploy regular game updates, it is somewhat surprising that a developer has to implement support for a very common controller on day one of its release.  Therefore, we get the impression that after the initial development delay, the game is still rushed into release. Let’s hope we are wrong.
