Racing Wheel Mode - Cronus Zen

Cronus Zen provides compatibility for select legacy Logitech and Fanatec racing wheels on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, including Force Feedback, pedals, brake, clutch, and shifter support.

Limited support

Wheel Mode development concluded in January 2020. Further expansion is limited due to device memory constraints. For wider compatibility, consider a dedicated wheel adapter.
