Buying Guide: The Thrustmaster Lineup at PassionSim
Thrustmaster is a name every driver knows: decades in simulation, official partnerships with the biggest licenses, and reliability proven by millions of users. With its new Direct Drive generation, the French brand bridges its console heritage with the demands of modern simulation.
The T598 bundle, the console-PC bridge
The T598 Bundle is the centerpiece of that transition: a Direct Drive unit certified for PlayStation 5 and PC, delivered complete with a wheel and pedal set. It's one of the few Direct Drive entry points for console drivers: if you race Gran Turismo 7 or F1 on PS5, it's simply one of the best choices on the market, and one of the only ones to offer this technology on that platform.
A mature software ecosystem on PC
On PC, the T598 integrates with Thrustmaster's mature software ecosystem and works alongside our full catalog of universal accessories and cockpits. Check out our Thrustmaster bundles and Thrustmaster bases, and compare them with the PC alternatives in our bundles collection: at PassionSim, everything is in Canadian stock, priced in Canadian dollars.
Current relevance and after-sales support
The Thrustmaster lineup at PassionSim focuses on the T598 bundle, its flagship Direct Drive product certified for console and PC. Despite the arrival of new brands, its proven reliability and official console certification still make it a solid choice, particularly for PlayStation drivers, with Direct Axial Drive as proof of its ongoing investment in technology. On top of the brand's international network, PassionSim provides local support in French for responsive service.
