Does the Thrustmaster T598 work on Xbox?
No, the Thrustmaster T598 is compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. For Xbox, we recommend the Thrustmaster TS-XW or TX models.
How much Nm Force Feedback does the Thrustmaster T598 have?
The Thrustmaster T598 delivers 5Nm of constant torque for stable and realistic Force Feedback. The motor can also peak at 10Nm for extra intensity during gear shifts and bumps (such as kerbstones).
This makes the T598 ideal for both beginner and advanced sim racers who want maximum immersion.
How do I install or connect the Thrustmaster T598?
The T598 Wheelbase is plug and play: simply connect the USB cable to your PS5, PS4, or PC, and the base is automatically recognized in over 100 games.
Then, easily attach your compatible Thrustmaster wheel and pedals using the Quick Release system and rear connectors.
Within minutes you’re ready to race — no complicated setup required.
What's the difference between the Thrustmaster T598 and T818?
The T598 is Thrustmaster’s direct drive wheel base for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC, delivering 5Nm of constant torque (10Nm peak).
The T818 is a PC only base with 10Nm constant torque but no console support. If you’re looking for the most complete solution for both PlayStation and PC, the T598 is the right choice.
How do I download the PC drivers for the Thrustmaster T598?
The drivers and software for the Thrustmaster T598 can be easily downloaded from the official Thrustmaster website.
Visit the Thrustmaster T598 support page and click on "Software" to download the latest version. You'll also find the corresponding firmware updates and manuals there.
This way you can be sure that the T598 works optimally on your PC and you can easily adjust settings such as Force Feedback.
Can I use my current Thrustmaster add ons?
Yes, the T598 is part of the Thrustmaster ecosystem. You can easily upgrade with other wheels, pedals, and accessories, and almost all of your existing shifters, pedals, and add on wheels remain compatible.
For steering wheels with the old Quick Release system, a special adapter is required, allowing you to keep using older Thrustmaster add ons without issues.
