While the specifics of the issue are still unclear, it seems a very significant chunk ofDestiny 2: The Final Shapehas leaked ahead of its June 4 release date. The leak is rapidly spreading all over the internet, so I advise caution if you’re spoiler-averse.

It reminded me of a Wii accessory, and it was hard to imagine that it would work well with a serious racing game likeForza Motorsport. Tonight I used the wheel to playForza Motorsport 4. Believe it or not, this thing works. I wouldn’t say that it gives you the precision that a dedicated steering wheel would, but it definitely works, and I had no issues at all in the test runs I put it through....
