Why the T598
The T598 Servo Base is Thrustmaster’s direct-drive base for PlayStation and PC, and the one base in our configurator that runs on PS5 and PS4. Thrustmaster rates it at 5 N·m constant torque, with overshoot up to +100% on force peaks. It uses an axial-flux direct-drive motor (Thrustmaster’s Direct Axial Drive) with no cogging, and the Race Dash screen on the base shows settings and game data.

What plugs in on PlayStation
On PlayStation the T598 is the hub of the rig: the wheel clips onto it, and the pedals, shifter and handbrake plug into it. Here is the Thrustmaster gear for a PlayStation build, and how each part connects.

What makes a build PC-only
- Gear from other brands. The MOZA, Asetek Racing, Heusinkveld and Cube Controls gear in our configurator runs on PC (some MOZA gear also on Xbox with the ESX wheel; the configurator tells you which), not on PlayStation.
- Motion. In our configurator, adding motion takes a build off PlayStation. The MOZA HMA150 runs from a Windows PC; for the SimWerk 4DOF or 7DOF with a console, ask us. For PlayStation, leave out motion.
- What doesn’t matter. SimWerk seats, display stands and modules go on a PlayStation build the same as on a PC build.
Thrustmaster firmware updates for the base, wheels and pedals install from a Windows PC (Thrustmaster’s My Thrustmaster Panel software), so you need one for updates. Game support varies by title.
On Xbox instead? Thrustmaster also makes a T598 for Xbox and PC, sold as a set with a wheel and pedals ($599.99 on our Thrustmaster page).
Two builds to start from
Both run on PS5, PS4 and PC. Open either one in the configurator to change the seat, the wheel or the colors; it tells you when a part would make it a PC build.
