![]() ![]() Four directional sticks replace the dials on the Thrustmaster iterations, each corresponding to individual adjustments you can perform on track, such as for your traction control or brake balance. It does have some familiar design beats to the T-GT wheels or Logitech devices from days of yore. Moving onto the main attraction, the aptly-named ‘Steering Wheel for Gran Turismo DD Pro’ was designed with the Polyphony Digital team – the studio behind the Gran Turismo series in case you didn’t know. The load cell kit for these is coming in the new year, so if the brake pedal feels a bit too meagre as-is, you won’t have to wait long to improve it. ![]() I won’t bore you with all the details here, but they’re well-made, feel great to use, and honestly just do the job. The pedals are, as said, just the CSL Pedals first released alongside the CSL DD – which I covered in more depth in our original review. Got to put across that this is a PlayStation product, after all. But it does have a tasteful blue ring on the back now. If you’ve seen our CSL DD review or used one yourself, you’ll know your way around this. Sound familiar? It has the same mounting means as the CSL DD using T-nuts (but thankfully doesn’t have that weird notch for the power button like the CSL DD has), features RJ12 connectors for pedals, shifters, handbrakes etc, and has an almost three-meter-long USB C cable. With the included power supply, you’re getting 5Nm of torque, whereas the separately available Boost Kit will increase that to 8Nm. This is apparently an entirely new system built by Fanatec which was developed in tandem with the CSL DD, but visually it looks very similar, and the specs aren’t too different either. You get the whole thing in one go from the get-go.Īs said, this isn’t the CSL DD – a direct drive wheel base built primarily with PC players in mind – in a PlayStation form. So unlike picking up the CSL DD or other Fanatec wheel bases, you don’t have to shop around to find compatible products. You get the GT DD Pro wheelbase itself, the Gran Turismo wheel, a CSL Pedals set without the clutch, and the DD desk mount. The first thing about this that sets the DD Pro apart is the fact it comes, by default, as a bundle. If you’re not entirely sure what ‘direct drive’ is and wondering what all the fuss is about, to put it as simply as possible: rather than having the means of delivering force to your wheel off to one side and transferred using a belt or a gear, direct drive does it right on the column you are turning, which results in the most immediate and clean feedback there is. Built with Gran Turismo Sport and next year’s Gran Turismo 7 in mind, it’s the first officially licensed direct drive wheel for PS5. ![]()
