Since its release, the PS5 has been a huge success, doubling the sales of its direct Microsoft competitor. And that’s not all, as Sony has launched an offensive on the PC platform to diversify its revenues by porting flagship licenses such as God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted and so on.

To play sim-racing titles on PS5, or Xbox, you have two options: drive with the controllers or set up a sim-racing setup. The first option is viable only on arcade titles, such as Need For Speed, where the emphasis is on fun and high speeds. However, the PS5 is home to many racing simulation titles, such as Assetto Corsa Competizione or the legendary Gran Turismo.

Which brings us to option 2: set up a sim-racing setup. For this route, you have several players offering peripherals compatible with Sony’s platform. But what about brands that aren’t supported on PS5, such as Moza Racing ? There are solutions such as Ras1ution 2, which we’ll be looking at next.

The Ras1ution 2 is an electronic box that acts as an interpreter between the Moza base unit and the PS5. Technically speaking, the R5, R9 and others are not compatible with the PS5, and the Ras1ution 2 “translates” the base’s signal so that communication can take place between the two devices.

On paper, it works, but in reality, it’s not like on the PC. The most noticeable difference is the sensation of a limp steering wheel in your hands. Force feedback is limited, offering effects that are diluted compared to what the base can produce on a PC. And the worst thing about it is that there’s not much you can do about it. True, the Ras1ution 2 offers certain settings, but such a box operates by applying the parameters of a base that already works on PS5, such as those from Logitech or Thrustmaster.

For the best possible PS5 driving experience, it’s best to opt for a base, and peripherals, that are natively compatible with Sony’s console. Fanatec offers you a wide selection of products that work on PS5, whatever your level of driving. What’s more, you’ll find officially licensed Gran Turismo bundles for maximum on-track immersion, all at competitive prices.
