Fanatec Gran Turismo Steering Wheel (GT DD Pro bundle)
Round 30 cm Fanatec rim with paddles, bundled with the GT DD Pro base for PS5 and PC
The round, PlayStation-labeled rim that ships in the Gran Turismo DD Pro bundle, designed with Polyphony Digital. It covers GT7's in-car functions well but is a plastic-and-rubber entry rim, not a long-term keeper for enthusiasts.

Scores are AI analysis of public information (specs, manuals, published reviews and owner reports), not a hands-on test. How we rate
Pros and cons
- PlayStation button layout that maps cleanly to GT7 and other PS5 racers
- Shift paddles and enough buttons for in-race adjustments without a controller
- Fanatec quick release, so it moves to any Fanatec base later
- Not Xbox-licensed
- Plastic construction and rubber grips feel entry-level next to the base
Watch out: Rarely sold on its own; if you buy a GT DD Pro used, check the rim is included. It does not enable Xbox play.
What it feels like
- Grip
- Weight
- Clickiness
- Reach
A familiar round rim with grips that feel tidy rather than plush.
Paddles are within easy reach of your fingertips for upshifts and downshifts.
Mid-sized at about 30 cm, it suits most hand sizes without feeling cramped.
About the size of a typical sports-car steering wheel, a little smaller than a regular family-car wheel.
What the Gran Turismo DD Pro Steering Wheel works with
- Comes in the box with the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro (5 Nm bundle); it isn't sold on its own.
- Attaches with the Fanatec QR, so it fits bases that use the same system.
- With the right base it works on PlayStation 5 and PC.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
This is the wheel rim that ships with the Gran Turismo-licensed GT DD Pro bundle. It is not really a standalone buy. For a first-rig buyer, it is the part of the bundle you touch most, and it sets the tone for everything else. It is a conventional round rim of roughly 30 cm with rubber-style grips and shift paddles. That layout suits road cars, GT cars and general driving. It is less suited to open-wheel or rally if you want a smaller or more specialised rim. It attaches through Fanatec's quick release, so you can swap to another Fanatec rim later without changing the base. That is the main reason to buy into the ecosystem. Expect a rim aimed at function rather than luxury: you get the controls you need and not much more. Treat the exact button count, paddle type and materials as details to confirm on Fanatec's listing for your bundle revision, since we could not verify them here. The bundle price covers the base, rim and pedals, so judge it as a package. This analysis is based on published specs and not hands-on testing.
Questions buyers ask
Does it work on Xbox?
No. The GT DD Pro bundle targets PlayStation (PS5, and PS4 with supported titles) and PC. Fanatec's Xbox-compatible bases are a separate product line.
Can I swap to a different Fanatec wheel later?
Yes, within the Fanatec ecosystem. The rim uses Fanatec's quick-release system, so other compatible Fanatec rims can be fitted. Check the quick-release generation on the rim you want before buying.
Can I buy this wheel alone?
It is sold as part of the GT DD Pro bundle. Standalone availability varies. If you only need a rim, look at Fanatec's separate wheel range.
