It includes a detachable 12-inch sport rim with premium paddle shifters, an integrated Race Dash screen for real-time telemetry and settings, and scalable metal Raceline Pedals LTE for customizable pedal feel. Officially licensed for PlayStation and compatible with PC, the T598 offers a plug-and-play experience designed for serious sim racers seeking high-fidelity immersion and professional-grade performance. ## Description Drive into a new era of simracing with T598 and its Direct Axial Drive with Axial Flux motor: the new generation of Direct Drive technology designed by Thrustmaster. This new type of motor provides Force Feedback without cogging, for clearer and more precise effects. Its 5 Nm of constant torque has an overshoot capability of +100% to vastly increase its power, and deliver super-boosted sensations. HARMONY technology produces high-frequency vibrations to feel rumble strips, tire screeching and road textures like never before. With its 11.8-inch / 30-cm detachable wheel rim featuring mag-shift paddle shifters and Raceline Pedals LTE pedal set, T598 is an ultra-performance, scalable package that's ready to play right out of the box. Designed for demanding gamers looking for sensations with high-fidelity Force Feedback, T598 is compatible with PS5, PS4 and PC (Windows 10/11). Review: I love it but it feels like it could be improved further - I am scoring my review mostly on the force feedback. On the games it supports it is mostly very good to excellent. I upgraded from a t300rs and definitely enjoy the increase in FFB detail that I feel. I have mine screwed down top my desk. This in itself has pros and cons. It is very secure. The feedback and vibrations coming from this thing is a bit like an earthquake at times, so the shudder going through my desk is pretty intense. I have known things to fall off and hit the deck. I have a pretty solid, heavy desk so it's not because its a cheap desk or anything. Why is this a con? Because the the feedback sounds will be shared with all who are near you (if like me you're in a living room). If you have a dedicated rig to attach the wheel to that you sit in the feedback would be somewhat transferred into your body via the framework, which I imagine would add some immersion. This is based on an assumption since I have nothing to compare it to, I could be wrong and my solid desk might actually feel more like a car than tubular steel frames (like I said I have nothing to compare it to). Either way I am very happy. I have used this both for PC and playstation. GT7 is fantastic. On PC my personal favorite is Automobilista 2. The tyre wear model in AMS 2 is very immersive as you can feel the car slide as the tyres wear. It's also very satisfying as I am able to catch a lot of slides before the car spins, giving the feeling of always pushing to the edge. It's similar on GT7 but AMS 2 nails it IMO. As regards firmware I think it could be better, on PC at least. I played some older titles on my old t300rs which had some really good compatibility, with T598 it doesn't have the extensive compatibility of the T300. To make things worse when running a game that the wheel doesn't have ffb support for, it will just go completely limp (turns freely). It could at least pull back to the centre with an option to vary the resistance. These are my only gripes with the wheel. Other than that I hope the manufacturer will continue to improve the feel of the FFB as some games feel great while others feel a bit feeble. Remembering button sequences on PC can be a problem. I labelled all my button numbers to help. Review: Big Upgrade From My Logitech G29 Smooth, Strong and Adjustable - I’ve been using the Logitech G29 for a long time, so I noticed the difference straight away when I switched to the T598. Even though it didn’t fit my stand at first, the included clamps fixed that easily and held the wheel firmly in place. The pedals are a real highlight. Being able to adjust the spring settings gives you much better control and a more realistic feel compared to what I was used to before. The force feedback on the wheel is amazing smooth, strong, and really helps you feel the car on the track. This setup will glide you round the track and feels effortless and much more immersive than the G29. I also bought the Thrustmaster F1 add‑on wheel at the same time, but it turned out not to fit the T598, even though it’s also a Thrustmaster product. So if you’re planning to buy an add‑on wheel, make sure you double check the connection type and compatibility first. I originally bought this after watching other gamers use it, and I’m glad I did. It delivers exactly the kind of performance I was hoping for. I’ve been watching a YouTuber using this exactly the same wheel on the 9th of January 2026 for 24 hour race and worked amazingly good. The only thing about this wheel it gets very warm, but this is normal. Overall, a great upgrade with solid build quality, adjustable pedals, and fantastic force feedback. ## Features - 🏎️ NEXT-GEN DIRECT AXIAL DRIVE MOTOR: Experience unparalleled power with 5 Nm of constant torque and a unique +100% overshoot capability.
