Thrustmaster T-GT II (PlayStation/PC)
Belt-driven, PlayStation-licensed GT wheel with rim and 3 pedals included, in one box
Thrustmaster's top belt-driven base, officially licensed for Gran Turismo, bundled with the T-GT II rim and T3PM pedals. The strongest and most refined Thrustmaster belt wheel, but it costs more than PS5 direct drive options, including Thrustmaster's own T598.

Pros and cons
- Strongest, most refined Thrustmaster belt base, tuned for Gran Turismo 7
- Quick release with access to SF1000, Hypercar and other TM rims
- Internal power supply and 1080° rotation
- Priced above the direct drive T598
- Belt feel is smooth but less detailed than direct drive
- Bundled T3PM pedals are entry-level for this price
Watch out: At typical prices the T598 (direct drive, PS5) is cheaper and stronger; only buy the T-GT II on a deep discount.
What it feels like
- Strength
- Detail
- Smoothness
- Noise
- Heat
Strong enough to push back in corners without yanking your wrists.
Belt drive gives smooth, rounded forces, with less fine texture than direct drive.
You hear a steady motor and belt whir during hard cornering.
Like power steering on a small hatchback: firm and smooth, not heavy.

- In the box: Thrustmaster T-GT II Wheel Rim (bundled) and Thrustmaster T3PM Pedals (bundled with T-GT II).

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The T-GT II is Thrustmaster's officially licensed Gran Turismo wheel, and it is one of the few complete belt-driven sets for PS5 that needs no extra parts. The box has the base, a leather-wrapped 28 cm GT-style rim with plenty of buttons and dials, and a three-pedal set. Thrustmaster uses a 40 W brushless motor with a belt reduction and does not publish torque. Community estimates of about 5–6 Nm are unofficial. Expect force feedback that is smooth and fairly detailed for the class, but not as crisp or strong as direct-drive bases at similar money. The rim uses Thrustmaster's quick release, so you can swap in other TM rims. It works with PS4, PS5 and PC. It is not for Xbox. The power supply is external, so you need a wall outlet. The bundled pedals are the T3PA-style set, which is workable but plasticky. Many owners upgrade them later, since the base accepts T3PM or load-cell pedals. List price is around $800. At that price, entry-level direct-drive bundles are close competitors, so compare them if you only race on PC.
Questions buyers ask
Does it work on Xbox?
No. It supports PS5, PS4 and PC only. Xbox owners should look at the T300-family or Xbox-licensed wheels.
Which pedals come in the box, and can I upgrade them?
The base comes with a 3-pedal T3PA GT II set. The pedal port is compatible with Thrustmaster T3PM and T-LCM pedals, so you can upgrade later.
How do I mount it and what does it need?
It clamps to a desk or bolts to a rig or stand using the base's mounting points. It needs an external power adapter and a wall outlet, plus a USB connection to the console or PC.
