I thought I read that the G29 firmware update that you can do doesn't change anything if you are on a PS4 or PS5.
two comments from a forum on here from 4 years ago...https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/logitech-g29-update.374918/
I was set to the update until I read these notes...
G2x wheels are "dummy" peripheral devices, no brains=no actual controlling firmware inside, only "api control box". All brain is run on host device in form of "firmware driver", on PC you could update your ruining "firmware" as updating your driver. On consoles you can't do that, sony can update OS part driver "firmware" if they will, and software developers can use either way to control wheel, using OS api to wheel or direct commands to wheel, when doing direct commands to wheel it means at their software will act as firmware to wheel, which they can improve/update if they want inside their software.
G2x series physical "firmware" contains only FFB canned effects and FFB direct control api to be used from host=software on console/pc.
The G29 cannot be updated. It's simply plug and play on PS4. The Logitech controlling firmware on PC can be updated though (an application) but nothing on the wheel itself to update.
Hope that clears some stuff out.
You're talking about drivers not firmware. Firmware is what enables the wheel to calibrate when you plug it in.
