Having trouble getting your Thrustmaster TGT2 steering wheel recognized by your PS5 when playing EA Sports WRC? Don't worry, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll walk you through some friendly steps to help you troubleshoot and fix the issue. Let's get started!

The Thrustmaster TGT2 steering wheel is a popular choice among racing enthusiasts for its realistic feel and precise control. However, sometimes it may not be recognized by your PS5 when playing the EA Sports WRC game. This can be frustrating, but with a few simple steps, you can get your steering wheel up and running in no time.

The first thing you should do is visit the official Thrustmaster website and check for firmware updates specifically for your TGT2 steering wheel. Manufacturers often release firmware updates to improve compatibility and performance. Download and install any available updates to ensure proper functioning with your PS5.

Sometimes, the issue may be due to a communication problem between the steering wheel and the console. To fix this, try manually powering on your PS5. Turn off or put your PS5 in standby mode, and then press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps. This will reset the console's settings. Once the console has restarted, connect your Thrustmaster TGT2 steering wheel to your PS5 and launch the EA Sports WRC game.

In some cases, having other controllers connected to your console can interfere with the recognition of the steering wheel. To rule out this possibility, safely disconnect any other controllers from your PS5 before connecting the Thrustmaster TGT2 steering wheel.

It's always a good idea to ensure that your game is up to date. Open your game library and select "Options" on your controller. Look for any available updates for the EA Sports WRC game and install them if necessary. Game updates often include bug fixes and compatibility improvements, which may resolve the issue of your Thrustmaster TGT2 steering wheel not being recognized.

In addition to game updates, you should also check for system updates on your PS5. System updates can include important fixes and patches that address compatibility issues. To do this, go to your PS5 settings and look for system updates. If there are any available updates, install them and then try launching the game again.

If the issue persists, it's worth trying a different USB port on your PS5. Sometimes, certain USB ports may have limited compatibility with specific devices. By connecting your Thrustmaster TGT2 steering wheel to a different USB port, you may be able to establish a better connection and resolve the recognition issue.

If none of the previous steps have solved the problem, it's time to reach out to EA Sports support for further assistance. They have a dedicated support team that can provide you with additional troubleshooting steps tailored to your situation. They may also escalate the issue to their development team for a permanent fix if it is a known issue.
