F1 25 runs on PS5, Xbox and PC, and its 2026 Season Pack keeps it current, as EA is skipping an F1 26 game. The platform decides which wheel you can use, so here are the best picks for each, with the F1 25 settings their makers publish.
We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It never changes our picks. How this works.
PS5: Fanatec GT DD Pro for direct drive, Thrustmaster T598 on a budget, Logitech G923 or G29 for the least money, ClubSport DD+ with a formula rim at the top.
Xbox: Fanatec CSL DD with an Xbox-licensed rim, MOZA R3 on a budget, Logitech G923 or G920 for the least money. The Thrustmaster T598-X runs F1 games only in its Legacy mode.
PC: anything here, plus PC-only bases such as MOZA R5 and Simagic: see the PC wheel guide.
EA lists compatible wheels on its F1 25 controls page; console players need a wheel licensed for their console. More: PS5 wheels, Xbox wheels, budget wheels.

Why it is here
PlayStation licensed, also works on PC
Bundle includes wheel, pedals and clamp
Uses the same rims as the CSL DD
Keep in mind
Bundle starts at 5 Nm; 8 Nm needs the Boost Kit
The bundled GT wheel is for PlayStation; Xbox needs an Xbox-licensed rim
No, but it helps. F1 25 uses only about 360° of rotation, so a small formula-style rim with paddles and lots of buttons (for ERS, brake bias and differential) matches the real cars better than a round road wheel. Fanatec, MOZA, Simagic and Thrustmaster all sell formula rims for their bases; Logitech's G923 and G29 are round wheels only. If you also race GT cars, a round rim is the more versatile first choice.
We have not lab-tested these wheels. We picked wheels that F1 players and specialist guides recommend for each platform and budget, and checked torque, bundle contents and platforms against makers' pages. F1 25 values are the makers' published settings, compiled in our F1 25 guide.
FAQ
What is the best wheel for F1 25?
On PS5, the Fanatec GT DD Pro; on Xbox, a Fanatec CSL DD with an Xbox rim; on a budget, the Thrustmaster T598 (PS5) or MOZA R3 (Xbox and PC); for the least money, a Logitech G923 or G29.
What is the best F1 wheel for PS5?
The Fanatec GT DD Pro with an F1-style rim for most players, or a ClubSport DD+ with a Fanatec formula wheel for the most strength. The Thrustmaster T598 is the budget direct drive option.
Which wheels are compatible with F1 25?
Most current Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec and MOZA wheels on the platforms they are licensed for. EA keeps the list on its F1 25 controls page. On Xbox, the Thrustmaster T598-X needs Legacy mode for F1.
Is F1 25 easier with a wheel?
Not easier at first, but more precise: with practice a wheel and pedals give better braking and traction control, and they are far more immersive than a controller.
Will there be an F1 26 game?
No. EA is releasing a paid 2026 Season Pack for F1 25 instead, with the new cars and the Madring circuit, and plans the next full game for 2027. Wheels and settings for F1 25 carry over.
