The Thrustmaster T248 racing wheel is available now for Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, having been previously released for PlayStation in November 2021.
Thrustmaster has priced the T248 at £299.99 (Both the Xbox/PC and PlayStation/PC version), pricing it between entry-level and intermediate sim racing wheel and pedal sets. But for the extra money, you'll get a lot of cool new features that are worth the additional outlay. The T248 features a full dashboard display, dynamic force feedback controls, 25 'action buttons' which offer loads of customisation, magnetic paddle shifters, a magnetic pedal set and most importantly, Thrustmaster's Hybrid Drive system.
Thrustmaster claims that their Hybrid Drive system, which features a mixed belt and gear mechanism, delivers up to 70% more powerful force feedback compared with previous TMX models. This technology is interesting because most entry-level/intermediate racing wheels feature either belt or gear mechanism to produce their force feedback, not both.
