Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best wheel Ive ever used and yet it only costs a little more than a mid tier wheel like the T300 despite being twice as good (easily) Works amazing with GT7, just make sure you update the firmware of the wheel.

Very impressive! Highly recommend (especially for PC, and now probably the best option for PlayStation) I was very surprised by the power, feedback, and most importantly the smoothness of this T598. Perfect for racing and drifting! This is far superior to a G29 at a similar price point and most definitely worth the upgrade!

Pedals are a bit too close together but good for bundle price. Wheel itself is a much better (bigger) size than the g29 and smooth movement. It has a feature that creates force feedback whenever you shift up or down using the paddles and it is a really cool immersion feature! I like this better than Moza R5!

Products needs some updating. Tends to run a bit warm while using. Updating firm ware has become a task. Even downloading the app no update pops up yes there is an update 2.07 currently. Mine is running 1.83 still a value easy to use.

Significant upgrade from the old gear driven wheel and the included pedals were a nice surprise for their quality and functionality. Installation process was step-by-step with clear instructions that made it the simplest tech install I've ever done.

Overall, it’s a great option for casual and intermediate racers who want a reliable wheel without spending a ton. The only cons is that i had to update firmware with a pc, the unit is a bit bulky, and the stock wheel is not pretty.

Very solid product with great force feedback. Only suggestion is to make sure you you update to the newest firmware before connecting to your PS5.

Beats the absolute heck out of my G29. Very strong, fast, and quiet. Petals could use an upgrade, but are really well built. Only issue I have is it constantly slightly vibrates when turned on.

A perfect price for a direct drive wheel. For my first DD wheel, I’m impressed. It’s a little taller than expected, but worth it. Happy with the purchase.

I enjoyed this product the steering wheel felt good, I paired it up with VR2 Crazy gameplay

Really enjoying this wheel from thrustmaster. Coming from a g29 this is a big upgrade. The firmware update was quick and easy but you do need a PC. I play soley on PS5 and with using the recommended settings on the support page i get strong and detailed feedback. Another thing i really enjoy is how quiet the wheel is, its near silent with some electrical whines and chirps.

Best Racing wheel for PS5. Great response and Force Feedback.

This direct drive wheel has much more force feedback than the Thrustmaster T248. When mounted to a wheel stand the vibration when shifting feels great. Turning is incredibly smooth. My only knock against it is some of the buttons being difficult to reach, but that's more of an issue in the menus than it is when driving (in Gran Turismo 7 at least). Would highly recommend to anyone on PS5 upgrading from a gear/belt driven wheel who doesn't want to spend $700 for a Fanatec DD wheel or $1300+ for a Logitech DD wheel.

Don't buy gear driven or belt driven and spend 350. For 500 you get direct drive that's smoother and will last a lot longer.

Great up grade for any one looking to get into direct drive

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend, he loves it. It’s quite similar to driving a vehicle. And I feel like it would be great for beginner drivers, before getting on the road.

I’m coming from G923 and I like how much more responsive the T598 is. I can correct my mess ups much more effectively and prevent spin outs (I am not that very good and only race single player). I can definitely feel the weight of the wheel around corners. I tried GT7, ACC, Wreckfest, and Dirt 4 with a few different settings on the wheel. I liked the FFB-2 setting the most on the wheel. It was in D (Default) at first and FFB in GT7 felt very light. Overall, GT7 felt the weakest compared to other games I tried and least optimized for the wheel, which is sad - as that’d be the game I’d use it the most. That said, it didn’t have the oversteering issue I have on G923, and I didn’t have to correct myself all the time. That is a huge plus. I have also tried Moza R3 a couple months ago and I did really like it. I played Forza Motorsport 8 on it and again Dirt 4, and Forza Horizon 4 & 5. That one sells for $100 less and it’s around 3Nm. But, that’s only XBox and I like GT7 more than FM8 at this time. And Force horizon doesn’t work too well with wheels in my opinion. It seems to be more made for controllers. Lastly, the mounting holes on the wheel base and the adapter TM provides doesn’t match up with my Insignia wheel stand (basic wheel stand). In summary, despite the short comings, I like the T598, and in many aspects it is a good upgrade to G923 (~$300), and it has great potential. But it’s a shame Thrustmaster and Polyphony has not optimized it for GT7 BEFORE they released this wheel- since PS5 has very limited direct drive wheel options.

Believe it or not, this improved my racing skills. I went from an older/competitor wheel/pedal set and instantly improved as the feedback and realism makes it better to understand what's going on in GT7. Having issue getting the firmware to update using my PC but not sure that's a T598 issue. If you do not have a solid rig to mount this on the torque makes it challenging. When I replace that I am certain I will be even faster in the games.

After waffling around on a first wheel for mixed PC/PS5 use, I ended up deciding to spend a little more vs a G923, and I'm glad I did. This thing is awesome, and makes GT7 on PS5 and ACC on PC loads more fun than using a controller. Preset levels are handy for when the kids want to play.

Great wheel besides disconnection issues do to power supply issues Other than that it’s perfect.
