A racing wheel can help players to get the most out of highly realistic racing sims like Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa. Look for a high-quality wheel and pedal combo that is supported by your game of choice with immersion-boosting force feedback. We've rounded up our favorite racing wheels for PlayStation consoles in a range of budgets to get you started. More arcade-style racing games are usually built around controller play and may not benefit from a wheel or, in some cases, may play worse due to poor implementation. For these types of games, stick with the tried and true PS4 DualShock 4 

The best racing game for PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles depends on whether you're looking for an accurate racing simulator or something more arcade-y and casual. At the realistic end of the spectrum, there's Gran Turismo 7, which boasts a large collection of real-world cars and courses and the most high-quality graphics and physics the PS5 can muster. Players looking for arcade racing fun and high-flying fun (a la Xbox's Forza Horizon 5) should check out the fast-paced and brightly styled Dirt 5 or The Crew 2.

The best open world racing game for PS4 and, soon, PS5 consoles is Ubisoft's The Crew 2, which features free-roaming racing across a scaled-down -- but still absolutely massive -- version of the United States. There's a generous roster of cars, as well as planes and boats, and a wide range of activities to choose from. Yes, this title originally debuted in 2018, but it's still being supported with new content, is a ton of fun and will soon get a framerate update for PS5.
