// Editorial verdict

The Thrustmaster T598 is one of the strongest mid-range direct drive entry points for PlayStation and PC users who want more than a hybrid wheel without jumping to a much more expensive setup. Its axial-flux Direct Axial Drive motor, Race Dash display, detachable wheel, and upgradeable pedal ecosystem make it feel more modern than many older bundles in this price class. It is not a high-torque enthusiast setup, but it is a very smart platform for users who want clean force feedback and a solid path for future upgrades.

Strengths

·Direct Axial Drive with 5 Nm constant torque
·Includes detachable 30 cm wheel rim and Raceline Pedals LTE
·Integrated Race Dash for quick settings and telemetry
·Low latency and smooth cogging-free force feedback
·Strong PlayStation and PC direct drive starter bundle

Weaknesses

·Included pedal set is still a 2-pedal LTE configuration
·Torque is mid-range rather than enthusiast-class
·Best value improves if you stay in the Thrustmaster ecosystem
·More advanced users may quickly want a load cell brake upgrade
