The GGD F1 Xbox Racing Simulator Package (Stage 1) lets you race single-seaters on Xbox with real direct drive and an authentic F1 driving position. It pairs the official F1-licensed Playseat Formula Instinct cockpit with a Logitech RS50 direct drive system, so console racers finally get both the seat and the feedback of a proper F1 rig.
You sit low and reclined in a genuine single-seater position, with a formula-style Logitech RS Track wheel ahead of you and an 8Nm RS50 direct drive base behind it, complete with TRUEFORCE force feedback. The two-pedal RS pedals keep the layout true to an F1 car, and the system also includes a round wheel, so you can switch between a formula wheel for open-wheel racing and a round one for GT.
This is the base package, and it is fully upgradeable. Everything listed below is your starting point. On this page you can upgrade the wheel, pedals, wheelbase and other components, or add extras, to build the exact F1 simulator you want. Start here, then step up individual parts whenever you are ready.
Console racers who love open-wheel have usually had to settle twice over: an upright GT seat instead of a real single-seater position, and a gear-driven or belt-driven wheel because most direct drive is PC-only. That is a long way from how an F1 car actually feels.
This package fixes both. The official Playseat Formula Instinct puts you in a genuine reclined F1 position, and the Logitech RS50 brings real 8Nm direct drive that runs natively on Xbox, with a formula-style RS Track wheel and a two-pedal layout to complete an authentic single-seater setup.
It is the entry point into F1 on console, and it plays on PC too. Explore the rest of the Xbox Racing Simulators range or the full F1 Simulator Packages lineup to compare.
Direct drive is the biggest feel upgrade in sim racing, and this package brings it to open-wheel racing on console.
The Logitech RS50 drives the wheel directly from an 8Nm motor, with no belt or gears to soften the signal, and it is one of the few direct drive systems licensed to run natively on Xbox as well as PC. Logitech's TRUEFORCE technology translates in-game physics and audio into high-definition haptics, so you feel the front tyres load and let go in real time.
The compact formula-style RS Track wheel puts paddle shifts and race controls at your fingertips through the RS Wheel Hub, with its 15 buttons, dials and RGB rev strip. It is a true open-wheel wheel, not a round one adapted for the job.
The seating is what makes this an F1 simulator, not a rig with a formula wheel bolted on.
The Playseat Formula Instinct is an official F1-licensed cockpit, with a reclined, feet-up driving position verified by real F1 drivers. You sit low with your legs stretched ahead of you, which changes how you feel weight transfer and brake pressure compared with an upright GT rig.
It is built to fit you, with seat rails, a patented pedal deck that adjusts for angle, height and length, and the X-Adapt quick-release wheel deck, across a driver range of 120 to 220cm.
Start with a complete, authentic F1 rig for Xbox and build from there.
Everything here is your starting point. You can upgrade the wheel, add or change pedals, or step up the wheelbase down the track, and the Playseat cockpit takes it all as you go. The rig plays on PC as well as Xbox, so it grows with you across platforms.
Buy in at the entry point of F1 on console and grow the rig over time, rather than paying for the top tier up front.
“Open-wheel fans on Xbox have wanted two things: a real F1 seat and real direct drive. This package finally gives them both. On the rig at our Dandenong showroom, the Formula Instinct position with the RS50's 8Nm TRUEFORCE feedback feels a world apart from a gear-driven wheel in an upright seat. It is the ideal entry point into F1 on console.”
- Tested and recommended by the team at Gamer Gear Direct's Melbourne sim racing showroom.
Yes. The Logitech RS50 is licensed to run on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, as well as PC, so the whole setup works natively on console. There is no workaround or adapter needed.
Yes. The Playseat Formula Instinct is an official F1-licensed cockpit with a reclined, feet-up single-seater position verified by real F1 drivers. It seats you the way an open-wheel car does, not upright like a GT rig.
It includes the formula-style Logitech RS Track wheel for open-wheel racing, plus the round wheel that comes with the RS50 system. Both attach to the RS Wheel Hub with a quick release, so you can swap between a formula wheel and a GT one.
Single-seaters shift on paddles and use two pedals, so this package matches that. The wheel's paddles handle the gears, and the RS pedals give you throttle and brake, keeping the cockpit authentic to F1.
Yes. For console and most PC racing, 8Nm of direct drive is a huge step over gear-driven and belt-driven wheels, with clear, detailed feedback and no fatigue over long sessions. When you want more, the wheelbase is easy to upgrade later.
Yes. The Logitech RS components are one ecosystem and the RS50 system arrives pre-assembled, and the Playseat Formula Instinct is direct-drive ready with adjustable mounts. You assemble the rig, connect it, and drive.
