Continuous improvements to T598: 2-year warranty, firmware updates, and free Cable locking Kit
Since the launch of T598, Thrustmaster has been committed to supporting its users on a daily basis by ensuring that their gaming experience is constantly optimized.
2-year warranty
Fully confident in the reliability and performance of T598, we are pleased to announce that all T598 products now come with a 2-year warranty valid worldwide.
Firmware updates
As part of this same commitment to continuous improvement, we are enhancing our products through regular firmware updates. Thanks to the Direct Axial Drive motor’s architecture, we’ve been able to enrich the T598 experience with innovative haptic effects such as GEAR JOLT and ENGINE ROAR, offering an even deeper level of immersion. We strongly encourage you to update your racing wheel base to take full advantage of these optimizations and fixes.

T598 Cable Locking Kit
Always with the goal of providing you with the best possible experience, we are offering the T598 Cable locking Kit for free, which securely attaches your cables to the back of the base, to all T598 owners who request one.
Designed primarily for permanent cockpit installation, this kit keeps power and USB-C cables in an optimal position and secures them over the long term, protecting them even in the event of repetitive movements, or improper positioning.
It consists of plastic retaining clips that screw directly onto the back of the racing wheel base. Once the kit is installed, the connectors are firmly held in place and secured.
Important note: while it is still possible to disconnect the USB-C cable after installation, the power cable is locked in place and can only be removed by unscrewing its clip.
