Forza Horizon 5: All Supported Wheels For PC and Xbox

Thrustmaster T300 RS

• Wheel Size: 11 inches
• Rotation Range: 1,080 degrees
• Price: $629.99 USD
• Cons: PC only (but can be used if you have a PS4 or PS5).

The Thrustmaster T300 RS racing wheel has an 11-inch brushed metal wheel with rubber grips on all sides, so you won’t slip even if the race gets a little rough. Dual belts and a brushless force feedback motor power the Thrustmaster T300 RS at 25 watts. Keep a firm grip on this wheel, because you’ll be able to feel the road through it. Wheel features 1,080-degree range, Hall Effect sensors for precision and two paddle shifters to help you get into the right gear.

Fanatec Clubsport V2.5 BMW GT2

• Wheel Size: 12.59 inches
• Rotation Range: 90-900 degrees
• Price: $289.00 USD
• Cons: PC only, mostly out of stock, and the wheel does not come with pedals, so you’ll need to purchase those separately.

As good as the belt-driven Fanatec ClubSport V2.5 GT Racing Wheel was its initial price of $999 when it was first released. When the Fanatec ClubSport V2.5 GT2 BMW edition of the wheel was released, the wheel was replaced but had the same base and its excellent motor in place, the price has been lowered significantly. Due to the dual-belt system that Fanatec uses, the wheel is able to maintain its smoothness while avoiding slippage. You can also pair this wheel with a variety of high-quality accessories, such as shifters, other wheels, cockpits, and wheel stands.

Logitech G920

• Wheel Size: 10.94 inches
• Rotation Range: 900-degree lock-to-lock rotation
• Price: $349.91 USD
• Cons: Shifter sold separately. Does not have a headphone jack.

You can get into sim racing for a low price with Logitech’s G920 racing wheel. The Driving Force’s 900-degree lock-to-lock rotation means you can turn the wheel 2.5 times. It moves like a steering wheel in a car. Even though it isn’t the most nuanced or quiet, this provides a reasonable level of realism in games. Additionally, Logitech has added a “Trueforce” feature, which uses a vibration motor to enhance the experience. You can feel the engine revs vibrating through the steering column straight into your hands with Trueforce in supported games. A pedal set is also included in this kit, further lowering the cost of sim racing.

Is it worth buying a wheel to play Forza Horizon 5?

Some aspects of the game are easier to play with a wheel, while others are more difficult. High-powered dirt and cross-country racing, as well as drifting, are the aspects of the game that are more difficult if you are using the wheel. The controller will always be so much more forgiving than a wheel in most cases. But if you want to win races, stick to the controller. The controller will always be faster and provide better control.

The wheel is just excellent for the fun factor and providing a more realistic driving experience with the cars. But is it worth buying one for let’s say $400? That is a $200 to $250 wheel if it’s on sale. And don’t forget that you’ll need to clamp it to something, which could add another $100 to the cost. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you can simply sit in a regular chair with the pedals on the floor and the wheel clamped to a desk will suffice. You can, of course, do that, but it’s a terrible experience when compared to having everything securely in place. Lastly, consider the fact if you would only use it for less than 10% of your gaming time.
