With the PS5 just round the corner, which I am keen to get. Wondering what peoples thoughts are on a wheel? Do you think the current Logitecs will be compatible? Or even the Thrust asters with the next Gen console? What about the Fanatec gear? I think I should wait to look at upgrading my wheel from a logitec to most likely a Fanatec setup.
Most devices should be compatible. Sony would be crazy not to nowadays. But there is no hard information on this yet. Maybe closer to release we will know. If my fanatec gear is not compatible I'm going to pass on the ps5 that's for sure.
I assume they'll screw everyone over apart from those who buy the 'recommended official PS5 wheel brand'
yeah, saving up and will see what happens when it gets released. Thinking a Fanatec setup - upgrade from my G92 with drivehub.
sony, and others, have lost money on consoles to ensure penetration, they won't get penetration without backwards compatability with peripherals. i'm confident all the ps4 stuff will work on ps5, move controllers, vr, fanatec, camera, controllers
A lot of peripherals didn't make the move between PS3 and PS4. Sony are on top, this is when they get greedy so don't be surprised when they turn the screw. First party PS4 peripherals will work on PS5 but I bet they will charge others to allow their products to work on PS5 and then the other manufacturers will need to make the money back.
