Chief among Sony's
earlier this year was
Gran Turismo 7
, the first numbered game in the legendary series since
GT6
way back on the PS3. But with the customer base likely to be small for a year or so after the console's release, the possibility of a
merits discussion.
To that end, here our some picks for the best steering wheel for
Gran Turismo 7
on PS4. Obviously we don't yet know what racing wheels will be compatible with the PS5, but we'll update this article when we do...
The best premium steering wheel: Logitech G29
For properly good racing gameplay, the Logitech G29 Driving Force racing wheel and pedals offers the very best option for PS4 gamers.
Made of hand-stitched leather, the wheel features an unrivalled 900-degree turn radius and dual motor force feedback for a realistic feel. It also comes with a self-calibrating pedal set, adjustable to fit your frame.
Don't forget to pick up the shifter, too!
The best mid-range steering wheel: Hori RWA Apex
It might not feel quite as premium as the Logitech option, but the Hori RWA Apex racing wheel and pedals are a great choice for PS4 gamers new to racing.
Officially licensed by Sony, the Apex allows you to switch quickly between handling modes, adjust your dead-zone calibration and customise your buttons to how you like. It also includes a clamp for securing the wheel to a desk.
The best budget steering wheel: Subsonic Wheel
If you want to play
Gran Turismo 7
with a steering wheel, but aren't too fussed about the bells and whistles, check out Subsonic's universal racing wheel and pedals.
This wheel and pedal set is the best budget option available for PS4 players, with all the features you need to get racing. Three sensitivity settings give you the freedom to experiment, and the wheel features programmable keys for customisation.
The best replica wheel: Thrustmaster T80 Ferrari 488
If you're looking for a wheel which makes you feel like you're in the cockpit of a sports car, Thrustmaster's T80 Ferrari 488 GTB racing wheel is perfect for you.
Designed specifically for PS4, this wheel boasts realistic linear wheel resistance with automatic re-centring, while the pedals feature adjustable inclination and a wide footrest for ultra-precise, comfortable control.
The best elite steering wheel: Fanatec CSL Elite
For the elite players who are willing to spend real money on a racing wheel, our recommendation is definitely the Fanatec CSL Elite, officially licensed for PS4.
When it comes to racing simulation, it doesn't get much better than playing with a Fanatec wheel. With superior force feedback, incredible design, interchangeable button caps and precision engineering under the bonnet, this is almost like the real thing.
