Does the SUBSONIC Racing GT-5 work with PS5?

No. SUBSONIC states this wheel is not compatible with PS5. It supports PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC only, so PS5 owners should look elsewhere.

Do I need a controller to use this steering wheel?

Yes. An official controller for your console must be connected for the wheel to operate properly. Each platform also has its own connection procedure, covered in the included user manual.

How far does the wheel turn, and does it have force feedback?

The wheel is 27 cm in diameter with a 270-degree rotation angle. There is no force feedback - it uses a vibration motor, available in sequential mode, plus three selectable sensitivity modes.

Which racing games does the GT-5 support?

SUBSONIC lists most racing titles including GTA, Gran Turismo, Forza, Dirt, WRC, and Farming Simulator. The double joystick is specifically aimed at GTA, letting you steer and control your character at once.
