Logitech G PLAY 2025 is finally here, and Logitech has brought the heat with new wheel technology, a focus on TRUEFORCE for immersion, a new team-up with McLaren and more!
The annual Logitech G PLAY 2025 event is showcasing all the innovations Logitech has in store for gamers, with this year’s focus on advancements in the racing genre. Logitech racing peripherals are designed to deliver realism, control, customization and immersion, and the latest expansion of the popular Logitech modular Racing Series lineup reflects that goal, giving racers of all skill levels a chance to get behind the wheel.
Logitech G has unveiled its newest innovation: the RS50 Direct Drive Wheelbase with TRUEFORCE and RS Pedals, launched alongside a major McLaren collaboration aimed at the most dedicated racing enthusiasts.
For fans new to TRUEFORCE, here’s a crash course. The technology translates in-game physics into real-world forces through direct-to-player feedback designed to elevate the racing experience. This immersive system allows players to feel every detail of the track, from the grip of a tire off the starting line to the turbulence of a high-octane turn. TRUEFORCE is built into the new RS50 Direct Drive Wheelbase and works to simulate an authentic on-track experience.
Richard Neville, senior global product manager for simulation at Logitech G, said: “Whether you’re taking the Parabolica at Monza at top speed or drifting in a rally stage, the level of torque, coupled with TRUEFORCE, ensures you feel every detail in traction and every bump in the road. Combine that with the unrivalled control of the RS Pedals, and it transforms every race into an intense, emotional ride. The RS50 isn’t just hardware. It’s the beating heart of your sim setup.”
Below is everything announced at the Logitech G PLAY 2025 showcase.
Logitech G PLAY 2025 – RS50 Wheelbase & System Setup
The Logitech G RS50 System is the foundation of a complete sim racing setup. The bundle includes the RS50 Wheelbase, RS Wheel Hub, RS Round Wheel and the RS50 Table Clamp, giving players everything they need to hit the track. With all components combined, the system offers up to 2,700 degrees of rotation and provides a streamlined, all-in-one way to become immersed in their favourite racing titles.
The RS50 Wheel Base is Logitech’s newest direct drive motor, developed with the consumer and ultimate immersion in mind. Unlike systems that rely on belts or gears to transmit force, Logitech G’s direct drive approach eliminates intermediary components. This allows the motor to deliver force feedback straight to the wheel, then straight to the player. The RS50 Wheelbase houses a motor that produces up to 8 Nm of torque, an optimal power level determined by expert racecar drivers during testing. The RS50 offers precise and more realistic force feedback, with faster responsiveness to give racers the ultimate edge.
- The Logitech G RS Wheel Hub, shown as part of the system at Logitech G PLAY 2025, was designed for maximum racing versatility, compatibility, and a more tailored approach to design. players can select between the RS Round Wheel, RS Track Wheel and MOMO x Logitech G Steering Wheels for their own comfort. Racers can further personalize their experience with customizable LED rev lights and adjustable gear shifters. With the Wheel Hub’s quick-release attachment, drivers can use one adapter with every steering wheel to seamlessly switch them out in seconds.
- The RS Round Wheel serves as the steering for the RS50, and offers full rotation and leather grips for the toughest tracks.
- TRUEFORCE feedback delivers immersion home to the entire system, giving racers a true on-track feeling experience.

Logitech G Play 2025 – RS Pedals Key Features
To further implement immersion for the RS50 System, the Logitech G PLAY 2025 event unveiled the new RS Pedals to go along with the TRUEFORCE-enabled RS50 System. The RS Pedals feature a load cell brake pedal (included as standard) for measuring the force applied, as opposed to the distance the pedal travels. Pressure-sensitive braking and customizable force settings give drivers ultimate control and let racers hit turns like a professional while maintaining momentum.
As a plus, for those who have existing Logitech wheel setups, a racing adapter for G-Series wheels, or a USB for PC is included. The RS Pedals also have customizable pedal movement and resistance with damper and spacer combinations for customizable comfort.
