Sony’s PlayStation 5 has already sold 50 million units, and that’s despite all the scalping and supply issues the console had during its launch. And it’s all thanks to an amazing game library populated by titles like God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Demon’s Soul, and many more. While the PlayStation is regarded as the best system for enjoying narrative titles, you cannot deny the fact that it’s also a go-to platform for playing racing games. The Gran Turismo series, in particular, is a series beloved by many racing game fans. However, to fully enjoy racing games, one simply cannot do that by using the PS5 controller. This is where accessories like Logitech’s G29 come into play.
The G29 is a racing wheel that’s made specifically for the PlayStation and PC. For Xbox players, it’s the G920. The G29 was released back in 2015 and in 2020, Logitech launched its successor, the G923. While the wheel is certainly old, it’s still reliable and used by many. Price is also a main factor here. In fact, the Logitech G29 is considered the best budget racing wheel currently out there. It is a testament to just how great of a racing wheel it is. And if you are reading this guide, then you must have purchased one recently. So, continue reading to find out how you can connect it to your PS5.
How to connect G29 to PS5?
Connecting the Logitech G29 to your PS5 is quite easy. Just follow the instructions mentioned below carefully and you will be playing racing games with the G29 in no time.
- First, start by connecting the steering wheel to the racing pedals.
- Next, find the power adapter and plug it into the steering wheel. Following that, plug the adapter’s connector into a power socket.
- Once all the cables have been correctly connected, place the steering wheel in your desired space or area. Don’t forget to use the clamps to place them correctly.
- If you are using the shifter, place it wherever you want, most likely near the wheel. After that, grab the stick shift’s cable and connect it to the steering wheel.
- Now, all that remains is connecting the G29 to the PS5. And that’s arguably the easiest part. For this, all you need to do is take the USB cable from the steering wheel and connect it to the USB port of your PS5. After this, the steering wheel will start its calibration process. Once that’s done, press the PlayStation button in the middle of the steering wheel, and you will see a window appear on your screen, prompting you to log in to your account. If you are already logged in, just press continue and enjoy racing with the G29.
All cables go at the bottom of the steering wheel, so don’t worry about complicated wiring. From here on, you can now enjoy games like Gran Turismo 7, Grid Legends, Dirt 5, and many, many more. Well, that’s all you need to know about connecting the G29 to your PS5. Additionally, if your PS5 is stuck on the sparkle screen, take a look at this guide.
