Logitech RS50 Direct Drive System

The Logitech RS50 Direct Drive System is Logitech’s entry into true direct drive sim racing, built for drivers who want high-definition force feedback without complicated setup or professional-grade tuning requirements. Available in Xbox/PC and PlayStation/PC configurations, and in bundle variants pairing the wheel system with compatible accessories, the RS50 range makes direct drive accessible to a far wider field of sim racers than ever before.

This page covers everything in the RS50 ecosystem: the wheel system variants, the compatible RS accessory range, platform and game compatibility, and how the RS50 fits into the broader Logitech sim racing lineup. Whether you’re upgrading from a gear-driven wheel or building your first serious sim setup, the RS50 system gives you a clear path in.


Our take

“We’ve had the RS50 on the rig for 3+ months now and it’s become our first recommendation for anyone stepping up to direct drive. We’ve been running it primarily on Forza Motorsport and the TRUEFORCE feedback is noticeably more detailed than any belt-driven wheel at this price point. You genuinely feel the difference in kerb strikes and tyre slip in a way that changes how you drive. Setup was straightforward from box to first lap, which is exactly what Logitech promised.”

- Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Gamer Gear Direct

Choose your RS50

The RS50 system is available in two platform configurations and bundle variants that pair the wheel system with RS accessories. Choosing the right version comes down to which console you race on and how much of the ecosystem you want to build straight away.

RS50 Direct Drive System

RS50 for Xbox and PC

The Xbox/PC version supports Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. This is the version to choose if you race primarily on Xbox or want a single wheel that works across both Xbox and PC without any configuration changes. Compatible titles include Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon series, F1 series, WRC, and all major PC sim titles including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and Dirt Rally 2.0.

RS50 for PlayStation and PC

The PlayStation/PC version supports PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC. This is the version for Gran Turismo 7, F1 24, WRC on PlayStation, and PC sim titles. TRUEFORCE high-fidelity haptics are fully supported on Gran Turismo 7, delivering feedback tied directly to the game’s physics engine rather than generic controller rumble signals.

RS50 bundle variants

Bundle variants pair the RS50 wheel system with RS accessory combinations, giving you a more complete setup from a single purchase at a lower combined cost than buying separately. See the product listings below to compare bundle contents and pricing.


What makes the RS50 Direct Drive System different

Most sim racing wheels use gear- or belt-driven motors that introduce friction, lag, and inconsistent feedback as components wear. The RS50 removes all of that with a true direct drive design: the motor connects directly to the wheel shaft, delivering feedback that is cleaner, faster, and far more accurate.

 

The key differences over entry-level gear-driven wheels:

•     Up to 8Nm of direct drive torque for strong, responsive feedback across all driving conditions

•     Gear-free and belt-free drivetrain with no mechanical lag or friction between motor and wheel

•     TRUEFORCE technology connects directly to supported game physics and audio engines for high-fidelity haptics

•     Pre-assembled system, plug-and-play compatible on all supported platforms with no manual calibration

•     Integrated quick release for fast, tool-free wheel changes as your setup evolves

 

TRUEFORCE is worth understanding separately from standard force feedback. Rather than interpreting generic controller rumble data, TRUEFORCE pulls real-time physics and audio information directly from supported game engines. A tyre beginning to lose grip on cold asphalt, a kerb impact at speed, engine vibration under hard braking: these feel distinct and specific, not filtered through a generic haptic layer. Supported titles include Gran Turismo 7, iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and Forza Motorsport.

Build your RS50 setup: the full RS ecosystem

The RS50 wheel system is designed to expand. Logitech’s RS accessory range connects natively to the RS50 without adaptors or compatibility concerns, letting you add pedals, a shifter, handbrake, and H-shifter progressively as your setup grows.


RS Pedals

The Logitech RS Pedals are the natural starting point for a complete RS50 setup. Designed specifically for the RS system, they connect directly to the wheel base and deliver the throttle and brake feel that complements the RS50’s direct drive feedback. If you’re coming from a single-pedal or basic two-pedal setup, the RS Pedals represent a meaningful improvement in feedback accuracy and adjustability.

Logitech RS Pedals

PRO Pedals

For drivers who want professional-grade pedal feedback, the Logitech PRO Pedals are fully compatible with the RS50. Load cell braking delivers pressure-sensitive brake feedback rather than travel-based input, which changes how you threshold brake and trail brake through corners. If you’re serious about lap times, the PRO Pedals are worth the step up.

RS Shifter and Handbrake

The Logitech RS Shifter and Handbrake adds sequential shifting and handbrake control to your setup. Essential for rally driving in Dirt Rally 2.0 and WRC, and useful in any sim where a handbrake changes how you approach tight corners. The sequential shifter also suits touring car and GT racing where paddle shifting feels less authentic than a physical shifter.

Logitech RS Shifter and Handbrake

RS H-Shifter

The Logitech RS H-Shifter brings traditional H-pattern gear selection to your RS50 setup. This is the shifter for open-wheel racing, classic GT cars, and any sim that rewards the feel of an authentic manual gearbox. If you race in iRacing’s Formula car classes or drive historic machinery in Assetto Corsa, an H-shifter is worth having.

Compatibility with existing Logitech G Series accessories

If you’re upgrading from a Logitech G923, G29, or G920, your existing accessories carry over. The RS50 is compatible with Logitech G Series pedals and the Driving Force Shifter via the Logitech Racing Adapter, which is available separately. This makes the transition to the RS50 more cost-effective for existing Logitech users who don’t need to replace their entire setup at once.

Platform and game compatibility

The RS50 is auto-detected on all supported platforms with no manual setup required. Switching between platforms is seamless.

PC (Windows) PC (Windows) iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Forza Motorsport, Dirt Rally 2.0, rFactor 2

How the RS50 fits the Logitech sim racing range

The RS50 sits between Logitech’s entry-level gear-driven wheels and the professional-grade G Pro range. Understanding where it sits helps you decide whether it’s the right starting point or whether a different wheel serves your needs better.

Upgrading from a G923, G29, or G920: The RS50 is a significant step up from any gear-driven Logitech wheel. Direct drive eliminates the gear mechanism that limits feedback accuracy and introduces wear over time. If you’re at the ceiling of what your current wheel can tell you about the car, the RS50 resolves that. Your existing Logitech G Series pedals and Driving Force Shifter carry over via the Racing Adapter, so you can upgrade the wheel base without replacing everything at once.

RS50 vs the Logitech G Pro Wheel: The Logitech G Pro Wheel delivers higher torque output and more advanced adjustability, and is designed for serious simulation programmes where maximum realism is the priority. The RS50 focuses on plug-and-play accessibility and a balanced, realistic experience that doesn’t require extensive tuning to enjoy. For most sim racers who aren’t running professional-level setups, the RS50 delivers direct drive performance without the complexity or cost of the G Pro range.

Frequently asked questions

Which RS50 should I buy: Xbox/PC or PlayStation/PC?

Choose the Xbox/PC version if you race on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or Windows PC. Choose the PlayStation/PC version if you race on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, or Windows PC. If you race on PC only, either version is compatible. Note that the Xbox/PC version is not officially supported on PlayStation, and vice versa.

What is included in the RS50 bundle variants?

Bundle variants pair the RS50 wheel system with one or more RS accessories at a combined saving over individual purchase. Each bundle listing details the exact contents and platform version. If you’re planning to buy the RS50 with pedals or a shifter, a bundle is usually the most cost-effective entry point.

What accessories do I need to complete my RS50 setup?

The RS50 arrives with the wheel base, RS Wheel Hub, and RS Round Wheel included, so you can race straight away without any additional purchases. To extend the setup, add RS Pedals or PRO Pedals for throttle and brake control, and the RS Shifter and Handbrake or RS H-Shifter for gear selection. Each accessory connects natively to the RS50 without adaptors.

Can I use my existing Logitech G923, G29, or G920 pedals with the RS50?

Yes. Logitech G Series pedals and the Driving Force Shifter are compatible with the RS50 via the Logitech Racing Adapter, available separately. This makes the upgrade from an older Logitech wheel more cost-effective since your existing accessories carry over.

Does the RS50 work with Gran Turismo 7?

Yes. The PlayStation/PC version of the RS50 is fully compatible with Gran Turismo 7 and supports TRUEFORCE high-fidelity haptics, which delivers feedback tied directly to Gran Turismo 7’s physics engine. This is a noticeable step above standard force feedback for GT7 players.

Does the RS50 work with iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione?

Yes. Both titles are fully supported on the PC version of the RS50. iRacing supports TRUEFORCE, meaning feedback is generated from the sim’s own physics data rather than generic controller signals. Assetto Corsa Competizione supports standard force feedback with the RS50.

How does the RS50 compare to the Logitech G Pro Wheel?

Both wheels use direct drive technology and TRUEFORCE feedback. The G Pro Wheel delivers higher torque and more advanced adjustability for professional-level simulation. The RS50 prioritises accessibility: simpler setup, lower entry cost, and a balanced performance level that suits the majority of serious sim racers who aren’t running full-time simulator programmes.
