Sim Racing Wheel Compatibility Chart by Platform

Console compatibility is not a software setting, it is a licensed chip inside the wheel. Both PlayStation and Xbox require peripherals to authenticate in hardware, which is why the same mechanism sells as two different products: a Logitech G920 at $199.99 for Xbox and a Logitech G29 at $199.99 for PlayStation, identical inside, mutually incompatible outside. This chart lists every model in the database against every platform, so the answer to "will this work on my console" is one row rather than a forum thread.

Of 45 models charted, 45 work on PC, 11 work on PlayStation 5, 16 work on Xbox Series X and S, and only 0 work on both consoles. That last number is the one to read twice. Choosing a platform is choosing a hardware catalogue, and it is a much larger decision than choosing a model within one.

Full compatibility chart, every model

Sorted by brand then model. A "yes" means the manufacturer lists official support for that platform. Where a Fanatec base needs a licensed rim to work on Xbox, that condition is carried in the notes on the model page rather than flattened into the cell, because it changes what you have to buy.

Which wheels work on a PS5?

11 models in the database carry PlayStation 5 support, and the list is short enough to read in full. Note how little of it is direct drive, and how steep the price ladder is once you leave the entry bracket.

The practical PlayStation ladder starts with the Logitech G29 at $199.99, steps to the Thrustmaster T128 P at $199.99 or the Thrustmaster T300RS GT at $399.99 for belt drive, and then jumps straight to direct drive with the Thrustmaster T598 at 5 Nm at $429.99 or the Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel at 11 Nm at $999.99. There is very little between $430 and $1,000 on PlayStation, which is a fact of the licensing rather than of the engineering. The whole ladder is worked through in best sim racing wheel for PS5.

Which wheels work on an Xbox Series X and S?

16 models carry Xbox support, and the shape of the list is different: more gear driven options at the bottom, fewer belt driven options in the middle, and a direct drive section that is almost entirely Fanatec plus a handful of exceptions.

What else has to match besides the wheel?

Platform licensing follows the wheelbase, and then it follows everything that plugs into it. Three specific traps come up repeatedly.

The shifter row catches the most people. The Logitech G Driving Force Shifter at $44.99 works with the G29, G920 and G923 and with nothing else, including other Logitech wheels. The Thrustmaster TH8S at $79.99 is the unusual one that spans PlayStation, Xbox and PC, which is most of its value at the price. Full detail is in the shifter roundup.

Which ecosystem should you buy into?

On PC, nothing is locked, so buy on specification and price. That is why MOZA, Simagic, Simucube, Asetek and Cammus are competitive there and largely absent from the console columns: they are not paying a licensing cost and they are not restricted by one.

On PlayStation, the realistic path is Logitech or Thrustmaster at the bottom and middle, then Logitech or Fanatec for direct drive. On Xbox, the bottom is Logitech, Thrustmaster and HORI, and direct drive is Fanatec plus a small number of exceptions such as the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race KD3 at $299.99. If you expect to move to PC later, buying a base with a detachable rim and a standard quick release costs nothing now and saves a rim purchase later.

One more consideration that the chart cannot show: ecosystem lock-in compounds. A base, two rims, a pedal set and a shifter from one brand is a large sunk cost, and switching brands later frequently means replacing all of it. That is a reason to think about the platform and the brand at the same time, which is what MOZA versus Fanatec and Logitech versus Thrustmaster are for.

For buying advice rather than raw compatibility, the best sim racing wheel roundup splits the category into three tiers with real prices. Specifications and licensing can change between hardware revisions, so confirm with the manufacturer before purchase.
