Of course, for the racing sim fanatics out there, the best (and perhaps the only) way of playing one of these games is with a steering wheel accessory- and a mighty impressive one has been announced for Polyphony Digital and Sony’s upcoming racer.

Fanatec has unveiled the Gran Turismo Direct Drive Pro, which is the first officially licensed drive wheel accessory to be announced for the PS5 yet (though it will also work with PC and Xbox consoles)- and as it’s name suggests, goes hand-in-hand with the upcoming GT7. Offering 5Nm of torque (with its base model) and promising “the smoothest and most dynamic force feedback sensations”, it certainly looks like a monstrous piece of kit, while aesthetically, it’s got plenty going for it, especially with an LED strip to brighten things up. Check out the trailer below for more details.

The price for the wheel starts at $699.95, but goes up to $969.85 for the best and costliest model. Meanwhile, pre-orders are now live as well.

It’s not enough to have a highly realistic racer with oodles of customization. The right set-up, which includes a proper racing wheel, is also important. With Forza Horizon 5 out in November and the likes of Gran Turismo 7 and the next Need for Speed coming up, let’s take a look at some of the best racing wheels available for modern gaming hardware.

Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel

Though relatively older, the Logitech G29 is still a fantastic option for PS5, PS4 and PC players. The leather cover feels pretty good and overall build quality is strong, especially when using the stainless steel pedals. In terms of features, it has dual-motor force feedback, 900 degree lock to lock rotation and manual gear-shifting for up to six speeds. At about $235.99, the Logitech G29 is one of the more affordable options for those who want a solid, reliable steering wheel that’s built to last.
