Fanatec has a huge lineup of different sim racing wheels, pedals and other sim racing hardware. With so many different products to choose from, ensuring that the game you wish to play and the console you wish to play on are supported is important.
The good news is that due to Fanatec’s popularity, most sim racing games are compatible with Fanatec wheels and other products. Many games have preset controller configurations for a variety of Fanatec wheels including the popular CSL DD and GT DD Pro.
These preset configurations will sometimes be automatically selected when you start a game with a Fanatec wheel connected. From there, you can continue to customise the button mapping and force feedback settings, or jump right into a session and go racing.
In this guide, I’m going to run through the complete list of every game supported by Fanatec. This list will include games that are Fanatec compatible on Xbox, PS5 and PC. All games have either been officially named as compatible by either Fanatec or the game itself.
