Thrustmaster TH8S Announcement

I had been using Thrustmaster’s H-pattern shifter for many years, and now finally the time for renewal has come with a more modern and cheaper shifter. It retains the same features as the previous one and is designed for the T248 series of steering wheels and T128, and can be easily mounted to a desk.

Take your shifting to the max with TH8S Shifter Add-On: the sim racing shifter for next-level racing immersion sensations. TH8S Shifter Add-On features an “H”-pattern shift plate with 7 gears plus reverse gear, with direct gear shifting, allowing it to adapt to all types of games and vehicles with manual shifting (rally, trucks, GT, NASCAR).

The 1.6″ / 4 cm metal shift lever and its ergonomic “sport-style” shift knob ensure responsiveness and precision for clean gear shifting. The frictionless H.E.A.R.T technology derived from Thrustmaster’s high-end shifter, TH8A Shifter Add-On, ensures the same extreme level of precision throughout the product’s lifespan.

TH8S Shifter Add-On is compatible on PC with all racing wheels, and compatible on PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S with Thrustmaster Force Feedback racing wheel bases.

The release is scheduled for July 27, 2023, and can already be pre-ordered for 70 euros on the official website. It is highly likely that it will also be available through regular distributors like Amazon.
