Product Information

Then there is the upgraded screen which is now using modern OLED technology. It displays a bright white readout of elements such as your speed, RPM and more. Mid-level racing wheels such as the Fanatec CSL DD and GT DD Pro generate around 5-8Nm of torque. This is strong enough for a lot of sim racers. This will portray most of the forces felt in-game to a strong level. Then, there is Logitech’s new Trueforce feature. This essentially adds a rumble to the wheel itself to simulate chassis vibration. We’ve tried this out on current-gen consoles, and although it isn’t a game-changer, it’s a nice touch.

You may have noticed that so far we haven’t included a Thrustmaster product in our PS5 steering wheel recommendations. The reason for this is purely down to how good some wheels from other brands currently are. Logitech have you covered for the best entry-level PS5 steering wheel, and Fantaec has a variety of options as you move up the price range. Fanatec and Polyphony Digital have created a complete sim racing bundle with the GT DD Pro, offering a Gran Turismo licensed steering wheel, the PS5-compatible GT DD Pro wheel base, and a set of Fanatec CSL Pedals.The key point is to limit yourself to a budget that you feel comfortable with. Sim racing can be an expensive hobby, but ensure you’re comfortable with the amount you’re spending.

The new and improved Fanatec CSL Elite McLaren GT3 V2 is a marvellous steering wheel that is completely PS5 compatible. It is extremely well priced, looks and feels good, and this new model improves on the old wheel in almost every way! Knowing exactly what you are looking for when buying a racing wheel is important. Sim racing wheels come in a huge variety. They vary across a wide range of prices from very affordable up to extremely expensive. And steering wheels also offer a range of different features. Whichever racing wheel you opt for, try to ensure it has a minimum of 900 degrees of rotation. Most PS5 racing wheels meet these criteria, while many have 1080 degrees of rotation and some have unlimited rotation. Additional peripherals When it comes to shopping for the cheapest PS5 steering wheel, you have a few options. Mainly from sim racing experts Logitech and Thrustmaster. Both of these manufacturers have good quality, low budget PS5 racing wheels for sale. Often, your buying decisions can come down to your budget, with the main aim being to maximise the performance of your racing wheel within the budget you have. I’d like the best racing wheel possibleIf you’re sim racing on PC you do have the option of mixing peripherals from different brands as they can all be directly connected to your PC via USB. However, on PS5 we don’t have that option. Compatibility The original McLaren GT3 wheel was great however, the improvements that Fanatec has made put this wheel in a class of its own. The direct drive technology inside the Podium F1 wheel base is capable of creating forces that exceed 20Nm! To put this in perspective, the Fanatec CSL Elite wheel base that we spoke about earlier only puts out 6Nm, and even that is enough to give your arms a workout!

Update – Recently Fanatec discontinued the Podium F1 racing wheel. This means that the most premium PS5-compatible racing wheel that Fanatec currently sell is the GT DD Pro 8Nm.Most racing wheel bases have connection ports on the rear of the wheel base where these additional peripherals can be connected to. For most brands, adding an additional peripheral is as simple as connecting it to the wheel base and mounting the peripheral to your sim rig. Yes. Peripherals made for PS4 are also compatible with PS5, though there may be instances where certain designed-for-PS4 features may not register with PS5 games. That said, if you’re not quite ready to upgrade, your PS4 wheel will work just fine in most use cases. Is a PS5 racing wheel worth it? Both steering wheels wouldn’t look out of place in a real-world open-wheeled race car, and both feel great to race with. The Formula V2.5X does include a wider range of inputs and is built to a slightly higher quality. But both steering wheels excel within their respective price ranges.

If you have a Logitech G923 for example, only a Logitech shifter will be compatible. And if you race with a Fanatec CSL DD wheel base, only a Fanatec shifter will be directly compatible on PS5.
