Games like Gran Turismo 7, Wreckfest, F1 2022, and many, many more can have their gameplay experience improved with the addition of a racing wheel.

The best racing wheels for PS5 you can get in 2022

Pros

• Dual motor feedback is awesome
• Genuine leather upholstery on wheel
• Available in PC/PlayStation and & PC/Xbox variants

We had to start with the current reigning champ, the Logitech G923.

Logitech has been making some of the best gaming peripherals around for a long time now, and their wheel is no exception to this.

We particularly like the real leather steering wheel as it adds a premium touch while increasing realism. Also, it just looks really cool.

When it comes to the specs, the G923 is almost unbeatable, with a dual-motor system to provide realistic amounts of resistance, further increasing immersion.

Overall, if you’ve got the money, the Logitech G923 is the best racing wheel for PS5 that you can get in 2022.

Pros

• Display is compatible with many games
• 25 programmable inputs

Cons

• The most expensive wheel out there

Next up in our quest to find the best racing wheel for PS5, we run into an old friend in the world of weird controllers, Thrustmaster.

Thrustmaster is known mostly for its high-end HOTAS systems. But they’re no strangers to racing wheels either.

In fact, the Thrustmaster T248 racing wheel only missed out on the top spot by a hair as it doesn’t have the leather upholstery of the G923.

What it does have, however, is a totally cool display in the middle of the wheel which can display telemetry, RPM, and other such data when used with compatible games.

Additionally, the screen is bright enough to be seen in direct light at can be used to help calibrate the wheel and pedals if they go out of wack.

The downsides come in the form of the borderline extortionate price of ~$300 at the time of writing.

While most people would balk at the idea of buying a fake steering wheel for the cost of an Xbox, if you want the best you can get without buying a full-on racing sim, this is it.

Pros

• Feels great
• Full range of motion

Cons

• Expensive, might be out of most people’s price ranges

Logitech has managed to make an appearance twice in this list, which is always impressive.

But when it comes to the best racing wheel for PS5 or any other peripherals for that matter, Logitech normally finds a place in the list.

We actually directly compared the G29 to the G920 a few months ago to figure out the differences and found it hilarious when we discovered that it was just a question of compatibility.

Essentially, the G29 is Only for PS5, PS4, PS3, and PC. This makes it ideal for those of you who are purely Team Sony.

Aside from this, the story is much the same. It’s a great wheel with a standard feature set but made considerably better than the competition.

Additionally, if you like to switch from PC to PS5 and back, the plug-and-play, single-USB interface of the Logitech G29 makes it super easy to do so.

Pros

• Very affordable
• Officially licensed by PlayStation and Gran Turismo
• Choose between 180 and 270-degrees wheel motion

When it comes to picking the best racing wheel for PS5, we can’t forget those of you who don’t have a used car’s worth of money to spend on a racing wheel.

Luckily, there is no need to worry as Hori has your back with the Hori Racing Wheel Apex.

As it retails for just a little more than $100 it’s certainly on the affordable side of things when it comes to racing wheels.

However, there has not been a significant reduction in quality here, which is rare for a budget gaming peripheral, as you still get a whole host of inputs, good build quality, and a robust mounting system.

The best thing about this PS5 racing wheel is the official licensing with not only PlayStation but Gran Turismo 7 too.

This is a big deal as it guarantees out-of-the-box compatibility with the most successful racing game on the PS5.

There are concessions, of course. You don’t get the full range of motion so it doesn’t 100% accurately emulate a real car.

Additionally, the lack of a clutch pedal might disappoint those with a preference for manual cars. Sorry, fellow Brits.

However, you can’t expect to get everything for a price this low, which means we still fully recommend this wheel as the features perfectly match, and even slightly exceed what we expect for the price.

For those of you who want to take advantage of the great reputation of Thrustmaster, without having to invest too much money, the Thrustmaster T150 is a great option.

We especially like it for the Blue and Black color scheme, reminiscent of the classic Sony colors. In addition to this, the belt pulley resistance adjustment system and 1080-degree range of wheel rotation are features that befit a wheel of a far larger price.

If you’re considering this as a beginner wheel, then you’re in luck as it boasts wide compatibility with Thrustmaster accessories. This includes extra pedals, manual gear sticks, and much, much more.

Best racing wheel for PS5: Final word

Unfortunately, racing wheels will always cost more than normal controllers due to the motors, amount of materials, and hardware they have.

Additionally, if you go for the absolute best racing wheel for PS5, you’re going to have to part with a few hundred big ones for the extra immersion that you’re craving.

If you have the cash, we’d definitely recommend that you go with the Logitech G923.

It has some pretty unbeatable build quality and offers the best feature set you can get, without veering off toward $1000+ simulator territory.
