The short answer: for most PlayStation 5 owners the Logitech G923 is the wheel to buy, because it ships with three pedals, runs every PS5 racing game, and costs far less than direct drive. If Gran Turismo 7 is your main game and the budget allows, the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro is the licensed direct drive choice, and the Logitech G RS50 is the 8 Nm alternative if you already own pedals. The Thrustmaster T128 is the affordable floor, and the Logitech G PRO is the ceiling at 11 Nm.
PlayStation requires licensed hardware, so this guide only includes wheels whose listings state PS5 support. We compared ten of them, from a spring centered starter wheel to 11 Nm direct drive, on drive type, torque where published, pedals in the box, and owner feedback, using the method on our How We Review page. Every wheel here also works on PC; none of them work on Xbox out of the box. If you split time between consoles, read the general wheel guide first.

Specifications come from the manufacturer listings. Logitech does not publish torque for its gear driven wheels, and Thrustmaster does not publish it for the T128 or T300 RS GT. The Amazon listings for several Logitech wheels say only that warranty information is available from customer service, which the table records as “not stated”.
How We Picked
Only wheels with PlayStation 5 listed on the product page qualified. We then assessed drive type and published torque, pedals and sensors, whether the rim is detachable, mounting, warranty, and owner feedback patterns, and we gave extra weight to how well each wheel is supported in the games PlayStation players actually run: Gran Turismo 7, F1, EA Sports WRC, and Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Each product’s WSR Score comes from verified buyer feedback, normalized to our 10-point scale. See how we review for details.
Logitech G923 (PlayStation)
The G923 for PlayStation adds TRUEFORCE to Logitech’s gear driven design, sampling supported games at up to 4,000 times a second for engine and surface effects, along with a progressive brake spring, a programmable dual clutch launch, an LED rev strip, and PS5 face buttons. Three pedals and a leather rim are in the box. It is the default recommendation for a reason: it is inexpensive relative to direct drive, robust, and supported by nearly every title.
- Pro: three pedals, TRUEFORCE, and universal game support
- Pro: large accessory market including the Driving Force Shifter
- Con: gear drive is notchier than belt or direct drive
- Con: fixed rim
Most PS5 players, especially anyone buying a first wheel.
You already know you want direct drive; the GT DD Pro or RS50 is a different experience.
Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro
Officially licensed for PS5 and PS4 and developed with Polyphony Digital, the GT DD Pro pairs a 5 Nm direct drive base (8 Nm with the separately sold Boost Kit 180) with a 280 mm wheel featuring an OLED display, a RevLED strip, and four directional sticks assigned to GT7’s traction control, brake balance, torque split, and fuel mapping. Two pedals are included and the warranty is three years. The base can also serve an Xbox with an Xbox licensed Fanatec wheel attached.
- Pro: purpose built for Gran Turismo 7, with the deepest console ecosystem
- Pro: three year warranty and passive cooling
- Con: 8 Nm requires the Boost Kit
- Con: two pedals; a clutch or load cell brake is extra
Gran Turismo 7 players who want direct drive and room to upgrade.
You want 8 Nm in the box; the RS50 delivers it without an add-on.
Logitech G RS50
The RS50 is an 8 Nm direct drive system for PS5, PS4, and PC sold with the RS Wheel Hub (13 console buttons, adjustable paddles, integrated quick release) and an 11 inch round rim, plus a table clamp and rig hardware. TRUEFORCE is supported. There are no pedals in the box, and the warranty is two years.
- Pro: 8 Nm without any add-on purchase
- Pro: quick release with Logitech RS, PRO, and MOMO rims
- Con: no pedals included
- Con: the round rim suits rally and drift more than formula cars
PS5 drivers who already own pedals and want strong direct drive from a mainstream brand.
You need pedals in the box or you mainly play Gran Turismo 7, where the DD Pro’s wheel is the better fit.
Thrustmaster T128
Licensed for PS5 and PS4, the T128 uses a hybrid belt and gear drive that Thrustmaster rates at 20 percent more power than the older T150. It includes magnetic paddles, a two pedal magnetic set, 13 buttons, an LED rev strip, and a clamp for desks up to 2.2 inches thick.
- Pro: the lowest cost force feedback wheel licensed for PS5
- Pro: magnetic sensors and a simple clamp
- Con: two pedals and light feedback
- Con: fixed rim and a small accessory range
Casual play and younger drivers on a tight budget.
You will race online; the G923 is the better long term buy.
Logitech G29
The G29 is the pre-TRUEFORCE version of the Logitech design: dual motor gear driven feedback with helical gearing, 900 degrees of rotation, a leather rim, and three pedals. It still ranks at the top of Amazon’s PS5 racing wheel chart at the time of writing, and the Driving Force Shifter attaches directly.
- Pro: cheapest three pedal PS5 wheel from a major brand
- Pro: universal support and a decade of accessories
- Con: no TRUEFORCE and a softer brake than the G923
- Con: fixed rim
Buyers who want three pedals for the least money and do not plan to upgrade.
The G923 is within reach.
Thrustmaster T248R
The T248R is the PlayStation version of Thrustmaster’s mid-range hybrid: 3.1 Nm, an 11 inch perforated leather rim with 25 buttons, magnetic paddles, Hall sensor pedals, and a color LCD with more than 20 display modes for telemetry and force feedback adjustment. It clamps to tables up to 1.8 inches thick, with a one year warranty.
- Pro: smoother than gear drive, three pedals, and an on-wheel screen
- Pro: leather rim and 25 buttons
- Con: fixed rim and a one year warranty
- Con: no equivalent to TRUEFORCE game integration
PS5 drivers who prefer smoothness and on-wheel tuning to Logitech’s ecosystem.
You want a swappable rim; the T300 RS GT has one.
Thrustmaster T300 RS GT
The T300 RS GT is a belt driven, Gran Turismo licensed wheel with a detachable rim, a three pedal GT set, and access to Thrustmaster’s rim, shifter, and pedal range. Thrustmaster does not publish a torque figure. Belt drive gives it a smooth, quiet feel, and it has been a PlayStation staple for years.
- Pro: detachable rim with many Thrustmaster alternatives
- Pro: smooth belt drive and three pedals
- Con: an older platform now priced against direct drive bundles
- Con: no published torque and a one year warranty
Drivers who want belt drive smoothness and rim swapping without going direct drive.
The GT DD Pro or T598 is in budget; both are direct drive.
Thrustmaster T598
The T598 is Thrustmaster’s direct drive kit for PS5, PS4, and PC, rated at 5 Nm of constant torque from what the maker calls direct axial drive. It includes an 11.8 inch detachable rim with magnetic paddles, a race dash screen, and the Raceline LTE two pedal set, with a one year warranty. Owner feedback on Amazon is more mixed than for the GT DD Pro or RS50, so check recent reviews.
- Pro: complete direct drive kit on PS5 with a detachable rim and dash screen
- Pro: works with Thrustmaster rims, shifters, and the Raceline pedal range
- Con: mixed owner feedback and a one year warranty
- Con: two pedals, no load cell
Existing Thrustmaster owners who want direct drive on PS5 and can reuse their rims.
You are starting fresh; the GT DD Pro has better feedback history and a longer warranty.
Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel
Logitech’s flagship for PS5, PS4, and PC delivers up to 11 Nm of direct drive torque with TRUEFORCE, magnetic Hall effect shift paddles, dual clutch paddles, an OLED for on-wheel settings across five profiles, and a redesigned clamp that keeps rig bolt holes. Pedals are sold separately, and the listing states a one year limited warranty.
- Pro: the highest torque of any PlayStation licensed wheel here
- Pro: magnetic paddles, dual clutch, OLED profiles
- Con: no pedals and a one year warranty at a flagship price
- Con: 11 Nm demands a rigid cockpit
Serious PS5 racers with a proper rig who want the strongest base in this guide.
You mount to a desk; the RS50 at 8 Nm is more than enough.
HORI Racing Wheel Apex
The Apex is Sony licensed, has a 270 degree rotation range, two pedals, a clamp, and profile settings through the HORI Device Manager app, but it has no force feedback motor. It is a controller alternative rather than a sim wheel, and it is listed here so the budget end of the market is represented honestly.
- Pro: lightweight, licensed, and inexpensive
- Pro: fine for arcade racers and children
- Con: no force feedback and only 270 degrees of rotation
- Con: teaches none of the car control a force feedback wheel does
Kids and casual players who want a wheel shaped controller.
You want to feel grip and slides; the T128 is the minimum for that.
Buying Guide
Gran Turismo 7 and the rest
Every wheel here works in GT7. The DD Pro and T300 RS GT carry Gran Turismo licensing and the DD Pro’s wheel maps GT7’s quick adjustments to its sticks. TRUEFORCE effects on the Logitech wheels depend on per-title support, so check Logitech’s list for the games you play.
Direct drive on a console
Four wheels here are direct drive: GT DD Pro, RS50, T598, and PRO. All need a sturdier mount than a gear driven wheel; the 5 Nm bases are fine on a solid desk, while the RS50 and PRO belong on a stand or rig. See our direct drive guide for the full comparison.
Pedals and shifters
Only the Logitech gear wheels and the Thrustmaster T248R and T300 RS GT ship with three pedals. The RS50 and PRO ship with none. Shifters and load cell pedals are covered in our pedal guide and shifter guide.
Who Should Not Buy
If you also race on Xbox, none of these wheels will follow you; only a Fanatec base with two licensed rims covers both consoles. If you play from a couch with no desk, budget for a wheel stand before a wheel. And if you only play Gran Turismo casually, the G923 is as far up this list as you need to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a PS5 wheel work on PS4 and PC?
Every wheel in this guide lists PS4 and PC support alongside PS5.
What is the best wheel for Gran Turismo 7?
The Fanatec GT DD Pro is the licensed direct drive choice and the G923 is the value choice. Both are fully supported by the game.
Can I use a Logitech G920 on PS5?
No. The G920 is the Xbox version. The G29 and the PlayStation G923 are the PS5 models.
Is direct drive worth it on PS5?
Yes if you race regularly and can mount the wheel securely. The gain is in detail and immediacy rather than raw force, and it makes car control easier to learn.
Is there an F1-style wheel for PS5?
Not in this guide. It does not include a formula-shaped rim, and the RS50’s round rim suits rally and drift more than formula cars. If you want that shape, pick a base with a detachable rim, such as the GT DD Pro, RS50, T300 RS GT, T598, or G PRO, then confirm with the maker that the rim you want lists PS5 support before buying.
Can I use my old PS4 racing wheel on a PS5?
Usually yes, if the wheel is officially licensed for PlayStation. Sony has said licensed racing wheels work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games, though it also notes that not every licensed accessory is guaranteed to work on PS5. Check the listing for PS5 support and your game’s wheel list first. Skip any unlicensed wheel or the Xbox version of a model, such as the G920.
