It’s definitely not a controller racer, requiring finesse in steering and pedal inputs even with assists. Is It All Bad?Īssetto Corsa Competizione isn’t worth thinking about if you want to sit on the couch. At least my frequent wheel spin felt immersive. This is a real shame, because the haptic feedback implementation on the PS5 controller was very impressive. This immediate lack of accessibility makes it incredibly difficult to recommend to more casual racing game fans. To save you a few hours, here are the settings that worked best for me: I had to spend a significant amount of time adjusting steering sensitivity and smoothness. This was the case even with steering assists on. But the default stick settings made it all but impossible to smoothly turn into corners, owing to the small travel on the left stick, paired with the poor smoothing. In fact, it’s usually one of my favourite parts when implemented well. Now, I understand car setup is a key part of sim racers. I’ve played other racing games on the PS5 with ease, but Assetto Corsa Competizione needed some serious tinkering with the controls to even be slightly usable. This isn’t due to my skills – my wheel input felt clean and responsive, as you can see in the video below. I initially found the DualSense controller quite literally unusable. As an avid sim racing fan, I was really hoping that Kunos Simulazioni would improve upon the input issues that plagued the Playstation PS4 Pro and Xbox One editions. Not everyone has the money lying around to drop on an expensive sim racing setup. It’s nice to see a PS5 racing game with wheel support so early into the console’s lifespan. I race with a Thrustmaster T300RS and I used the Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition rim.

For full transparency, I reviewed this game on PlayStation 5 with both a wheel and DualSense controller.
