2024 Popular Racing Game Shopping Guide & Recommendation
In recent years, racing games have become ever more realistic with more car models and tracks to choose from. And this year Gran Turismo 7, which racing fans have been waiting ages for, has arrived. Available in two versions for PS4 and PS5, the game's lighting, weather conditions and wind currents have all been upgraded with a host of classic 'road test' elements to satisfy both old and new GT7 fans!
Gaming Steering Wheel Features
To play GT7, the steering wheel is king. The right steering wheel enhances the tactile sensation of driving and gives players a more realistic driving experience. Look at the following great features!
1. Force feedback system
This powerful function simulates the effect of gravity, allowing the user to quickly grasp road conditions and then respond precisely.
2. Steering wheel control
Generally, a gaming steering wheel can turn 900 degrees, or two and a half revolutions, in line with an actual steering wheel. The specially designed steering wheel makes the ride smoother with less noise. The built-in indicator light makes it easier to keep track of gear changes without taking your eyes off the track.
3. Pedal pressure sensor
Increased pedal tension provides a more sensitive and precise driving experience. The freely adjustable pedal position helps you to find the most comfortable driving position so pedal pressure can be accurately expressed.
4. Add-ons
If you want to enjoy a more realistic driving experience and have the budget, consider purchasing add-ons such as gear shifters, steering rings, and racing frames.

Gaming Accessories
1. Game Console
The PS5 has been a huge hit with gamers all over the world. The PS5's super-fast SSD, DualSense™ wireless controller and perfect tactile feedback and 3D sound are truly outstanding. Be sure to get the DualSense™ dock when you buy the PS5! If you buy a PS5 digital version, you get a dedicated case to protect it from scratches. If the PS5 doesn't have sufficient capacity, simply insert a Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7000s 1TB solid state drive which comes with overheat protection.
GT7 can be played on PS5, but GT7 is currently only supported on PS5 and PS4 consoles, so racing fans should take note. Apart from GT7, there are also other popular racing games. For example, Fast & Furious Crossroads, WRC 10 and Project CARS 3, all of which support Microsoft Xbox consoles. The Xbox Series S is the smallest Xbox and has about 3 times the GPU performance of the Xbox One, while the Xbox Series X has more than 4 times the processing power of the Xbox One with a resolution of up to 8K.
2. Headset
Gamers who use PlayStation gaming products usually opt for the PULSE 3D™ wireless headset. However, the SteelSeries headset is no less impressive. With the PlayStation® media remote control, enjoy the convenience of playing and watching games with superb audio quality.
