PlayStation®5 Setup

Cronus Zen™ supports select legacy Logitech® and Fanatec® racing wheels on PlayStation®5, including force feedback, pedals, brake, clutch, and shifter in compatible racing titles.

Wheel Mode development concluded in January 2020. Further expansion is not feasible due to device memory and compatibility constraints across multiple hardware brands and platforms.

For wider racing wheel compatibility, consider Drive Hub™, a dedicated wheel adapter.

Logitech® G25 — shifter modes

To switch between Six-Speed and Sequential Mode, push down on the shift knob and rotate the Mode Selection Dial until the red arrow points to the symbol you want.

  • Sequential Mode — status light on

  • Six-Speed Mode — status light off


Power supply

Running the wheel without its power supply can cause:

  • no force feedback

  • continuous button inputs, for example the D-pad registering repeatedly

  • clutch or pedal input not being detected

For example, a Logitech® G27 used in Gran Turismo® 7 without its power supply shows all three.
