Superdrive 270 GT-5

Racing video games have achieved tremendous success thanks to ultra-realistic graphics, increasingly powerful consoles, and accessories like steering wheels, screens, and cockpits that guarantee total immersion. Classic PlayStation titles such as Gran Turismo 7, WRC Generations, MXGP 2020, The Crew Motorfest, and F1 25 offer an incredibly realistic gaming experience. To truly elevate the experience, a PS5 controller alone isn’t enough to fully enjoy the thrill of racing. That’s where the steering wheel becomes an essential accessory for any gamer seeking intense sensations and a full-throttle racing experience. In this guide, we’ll explain how to choose the best PS5 steering wheel, the key criteria for picking the right model, and how to get the most out of your gaming experience.

The best ps5 gaming wheels in 2025

The big question on many specialist websites: which is the best PS5 steering wheel?

Top 3 :

There are several major players in the gaming wheel market covering the full range of needs, no matter the platform: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox, Switch, and PC. Each brand has its own DNA and pricing strategy. Expert gamers swear by Fanatec, a must-have brand renowned for its flawless quality, excellent force feedback, and vast ecosystem. Then come the big names like Logitech, Thrustmaster, Nacon, and Hori. We’ve selected three must-have wheels — apart from Subsonic models —:

  1. Logitech G923: a gaming racing wheel featuring TrueForce dual-motor force feedback (900° rotation) for an immersive feel. It comes with a pedal set including a progressive brake and a clamp-based mounting system. Wheel compatible with PC and consoles depending on the chosen version.

  2. Thrustmaster T300RS: a mid- to high-end wheel offering smooth, high-quality force feedback for PC and PlayStation, though it requires extra accessories (3-pedal set, shifter) to unlock its full potential.

  3. Hori APEX racing wheel: an entry- to mid-range model without force feedback, offering 270° of rotation and PS5 compatibility. Ideal for casual gamers or those looking to try sim racing without a big investment.

Subsonic isn’t left behind with its new range of PS5-compatible wheels: the Superdrive 270 GT-5 at €129.99 and the 220 RS-5 for under €100.

Comparison of main features

A gaming wheel — regardless of its compatibility — comes with a set of essential features:

  • Force Feedback or direct drive simulates real sim-racing sensations such as grip, traction loss, cornering, and vibrations through electric motors. This feature is typically found on high-end models only.

  • Rotation: ranging from 270° to 900°, allowing adaptation to different driving styles — arcade, simulation, F1, rally, etc. The wider the rotation angle, the more realistic the steering feels, giving full control for drifting.

  • Pedal set: usually includes 2 or 3 pedals (accelerator, brake, clutch). Some high-end pedal sets offer progressive resistance on the brake pedal (the “load cell” effect). For premium models, the pedal set may be sold separately.

  • Gear shifter: sequential or H-pattern, with paddle shifters on the wheel. Note that the gear shifter is sometimes sold separately.

  • Inspired by the DualSense controller, some wheels also reproduce vibrations to enhance realism.

  • Mounting system: solid attachment using clamps or suction cups. For the best experience, good stability is essential — ideally mounted on a desk or racing cockpit.

  • Refined and ergonomic design: dual-material wheel with anti-slip grip, 12 o’clock marker, and an ergonomic shape for perfect handling.

  • Wheel size: starting from 22 cm for entry-level models such as the Superdrive RS 220 GT-5, up to 28 cm with round or flat-bottom designs.

How to choose the right ps5 steering wheel?

Important criteria for purchasing a PS5 steering wheel

Compatibilité :

The first and most important criterion is, of course, compatibility. You can find multi-platform wheels that work with PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, and more. When choosing a PlayStation 5 racing wheel, it’s essential to check compatibility carefully, as this remains the privilege of major brands holding the official Sony license. The first thing to do is to make sure the wheel works on both PS5 and PC — for example, the Superdrive 270 GT-5.

Game type:

  • Simulation / Sim Racing: Gran Turismo 7, F1 23, Assetto Corsa Competizione. High-end technology level — wheel + pedal set (T300RS, Fanatec, Thrustmaster). Higher budget required.

  • Arcade / Fun: Hot Wheels Unleashed, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Burnout Paradise Remastered. Entry- to mid-range models (Hori Apex, Logitech G29, Superdrive 220 RS-5).

  • Rally / Off-road: Dirt 5, WRC Generations. Mid- to high-end setups. Wheel + pedal set (T300RS or mid-range Superdrive 270 GT-5).

Der Haushalt:

  • There is a wide range of PS5 gaming wheels available to meet every gamer’s needs. Between Fanatec, Logitech, or Superdrive, budget will be a key factor in your final choice. In general, we can distinguish between:

    • Entry-level wheels: excellent value for money with basic features.

    • Mid-range wheels: a solid balance between price and performance (driving force, force feedback, etc.).

    • High-end wheels: total immersion, advanced force feedback, high-resolution pedal set with magnetic sensors, and more.

    Some players might also be tempted by officially licensed models, such as Ferrari-branded wheels, or special editions.
