GS 550 Steering wheel on xbox series s

this is not an authorized Xbox peripheral and will not function

Hi Joshy T1,

Not all USB steering wheels are compatible with the Xbox360. Check if the steering wheel is for Xbox One and Xbox Series as the Superdrive Steering wheels from memory were not made for the Xbox360 and were designed for the newer consoles.

Hope this helps.

It's possible that the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider steering wheel is not compatible with the Xbox Series S, or it may need to be configured properly in order for it to work with Forza 5. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Check compatibility: Make sure the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider is compatible with the Xbox Series S by checking the product specifications on the manufacturer's website or in the product manual.

Update the firmware: If the steering wheel has a firmware update available, make sure to update it to the latest version.

Connect the wheel properly: Make sure the wheel is connected to the Xbox Series S properly and securely.

Configure the wheel in the game: Some games may require you to manually configure the wheel settings in order for it to work properly. Check the game settings to see if there is an option to configure the wheel.

Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the wheel for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or support.

If the wheel is not compatible with the Xbox Series S, you may need to consider purchasing a wheel that is specifically designed to work with the console.

If the steering wheel is compatible with the Xbox One, then it will work on the Xbox One S & the Xbox One X. So it should work on your sons Xbox. Which make and model of steering wheel is it?

From what I saw online, they are two versions of the steering wheel. One that is not compatible with the Xbox Series X|S consoles and one that is. You might have purchased the one that is not compatible with the console, Hence why you cannot get it to work. Check the documentation that came with the wheel to make sure you got the correct version for the Series X.

Also, when it comes to 3rd party hardware for the Xbox consoles, make sure the box that the steering wheel came in has a designed for Xbox logo on it, otherwise it might stop working after some time.
