Logitech Reveals New Line of Video Game Steering Wheels

Hardware manufacturer Logitech has announced Logitech G RS, a brand-new line of PC and console steering wheels for use with racing games and automotive sims. The new Logitech line also incorporates a partnership with Italian automotive design firm MOMO.

Though many players know Logitech more for peripherals like headphones, keyboards, and mice, the company makes hardware and accessories for a range of game genres and activities, including racing. In fact, Logitech racing wheels are among the best gaming racing wheels players can find. This is particularly true in the pricey premium range of racing accessories, where Logitech’s G Pro wheel has ruled the top-end market for racing sim and motorsport game enthusiasts.

Announced at the company’s Logi Play event, the Logitech G Racing Series (RS) promises to build on that dominance by expanding the range of designs and choices available for players to choose from to match their preferences in highly realistic racing games. The new line includes two new Logitech G RS Racing Wheel designs, a Wheel Hub to hold them, and a pair of wheels that more closely match real-world steering wheels designed by partner MOMO. The Logitech G RS lineup is available for pre-order now, and starts shipping on October 13, 2024.

Logitech G RS Racing Wheel Series Includes Partnership With MOMO Design

The new Logitech G RS line consists of the following items:

• Logitech G RS Wheel Hub – The core hardware that holds the buttons and paddles, as well as connects to the wheel base. – $129.99 (PC/PS) / $149.99 (PC/Xbox)
• Logitech G RS Round Wheel – A steering wheel attachment that mounts to the RS Wheel Hub and resembles a full racing-style wheel. – $69.99
• Logitech G RS Track Wheel – A steering wheel attachment for the RS Wheel hub that features only partial grips, mimicking the formula racing style. – $69.99
• Logitech G RS Shifter & Handbrake – A 2-in-1 sequential shifter and handbrake. On PC it’s compatible with the G Hub software for fine-tuning. – $149.99
• Logitech G RS QR Adapter – A quick release adapter that makes aftermarket steering wheels compatible with any Logitech G Direct Drive wheel base. – $59.99
• Logitech G Pro DD1 for PC/PS – The wheel base included with the original Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel is now sold separately for players who want to get in starting with the RS series – $599-$699

In a spirit befitting the detailed car customization options in the best racing games, the Logitech G RS line is also further expanded by the MOMO x Logitech G partnership. MOMO is a Milan-based automotive design company best known for making real-world steering wheels. The line includes the SIM GT 320 and SIM GT-Racer 290, two wheels similar to the default Round and Track wheels, but which also include MOMO branding and other characteristic flourishes. The MOMO-designed wheels will launch in January 2025.

With the Logitech G RS series almost ready for deployment, players on console and PC will have some new hardware to look forward to. PlayStation gamers in particular might even consider picking up the hardware to go with Gran Turismo 7, which may benefit from graphical upgrades coming with the PS5 Pro in November 2024.
