Compatible wheels with PS5 will be?
- Thread starter D0N
- Start date
Just judging by past experience, I'm sure it'll be compatible. I still use a PS3 headset on my PS4. Works fine except the battery life is crap now lol. I also vaguely remember the Logitech PS2 racing wheels worked on PS3 and PS3 racing wheels worked on PS4. Of course, nothing is guaranteed as of now but can just go off past trends 
I mean, if it's incompatible, it may only be temporary. Nice thing about Sony is they constantly add features to their consoles. They'd be dumb to not allow any kinds of hardware backwards compatibility. Hell, the PS3 PS Move works flawlessly with PS4 and they didn't even support it this generation except a couple of one off games lol.
But I'd say a used wheel will be fine for you. Like you said, worst case it doesn't work and you aren't out much money. But you can also still use it on your PS4 so not a total loss

About that, Sony had this to say recently...
"In our June Future of Gaming digital event, we announced an array of PlayStation 5 peripherals and accessories that will be launching this holiday season. But we know that many of you were also wondering if and how existing PlayStation 4 peripherals are compatible with the next-gen system. Today, we’re happy to share a brief FAQ that will answer some of your questions.
If you have questions that aren’t addressed, feel free to leave them in the comments below.
Which existing PS4 peripherals/accessories will work on PS5?
- Specialty peripherals, such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.
- The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5 (the headset companion app is not compatible with PS5).
- The DualShock 4 wireless controller and PlayStation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work with supported PS4 games.
- Both the PS Move Motion Controllers and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller will work with supported PS VR games on PS5.
Please note, not all PlayStation officially licensed or third-party peripherals/accessories may work on PS5. We recommend checking with the manufacturer to confirm whether a product will work on PS5 and specific titles.
Will DualShock 4 work with PS5 games?
No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller.
Is the PlayStation Camera for PS4 compatible with PS5?
Yes, PlayStation Camera will work with PS5 for playing supported PS VR games. It will require a PlayStation Camera adaptor that will be provided at no additional cost to PS VR users. More details on how to get the adaptor will be announced at a later date.
And that’s it! We’ll continue to provide updates on PlayStation 5 down the road, so make sure to check back soon."

So what I'm gathering is if you're playing PS4 on PS5 it'll work. If it was designed for PS4 but playing a PS5 game it may work, it may not.
