Looks like you can be expecting some new accessories from Thrustmaster for Microsoft’s Xbox One. Thrustmaster used to be the go to choice for quality PC gaming joysticks in the early 90’s and slowly has moved into developing everything from Racing Wheels, Headsets, Cases and more for PC’s, Consoles and Portables. No doubt it was easy for Microsoft to convince Thrustmaster after years of supporting PC and Xbox 360 to start developing the next generation of peripherals. The big question to me is whether they will start to once again cater to high end enthusiast’s.
