Pros and cons

8 Nm direct drive with TRUEFORCE for about $700 including a rim
Up to 2,700° rotation and an OLED screen for settings without a PC
Modular hub-and-rim design: swap RS rims for about $70 each

Pedals are extra (RS Pedals about $160)
Young ecosystem: few rims and add-ons compared with Fanatec or Moza
Costs more than some PC-only 5–9 Nm bundles

Watch out: Xbox support lives in the wheel hub, not the base: this PlayStation version needs the separate RS Wheel Hub for Xbox to run on an Xbox.

It's a clear step up from gear- or belt-driven wheels, with firm and direct forces.

You can adjust settings on the base's OLED screen without opening software.

The round wheel is fine for GT and road cars, but you may want a different rim later.

Like going from a power-steering car to a lightly loaded sports car: you feel the road more directly.

Our take

AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.

The RS50 System is Logitech's first step into direct drive. The bundle gives you the 8 Nm base, a wheel hub, a round wheel and a table clamp. You don't get pedals, so budget for the RS Pedals or for load-cell pedals from another brand. If you're stepping up from a G29 or G923, you'd expect a big jump in strength and detail. That jump should come from the move to direct drive, plus TRUEFORCE, which adds extra vibration and texture in supported games. An OLED panel on the base lets you adjust settings without opening software. At $699.99 it sits against Moza R9 and Thrustmaster T598 bundles, and its draw is a single-box, console-friendly setup that is easy to understand. The main trap is platform lock-in: Logitech says PlayStation compatibility is tied to the PlayStation version and can't be added later. The PC-only bundle costs less, at about $599.99. Buy the version that matches your console. Don't assume one box covers every platform. Rim options outside Logitech's own ecosystem are limited compared with open-ecosystem bases, so check this if you plan to upgrade rims later.

Questions buyers ask

Will this PlayStation bundle work on Xbox?

Don't count on it. Logitech sells separate PS/PC, Xbox/PC and PC-only versions, and says PlayStation compatibility can't be added later. Buy the version for your console.

Are pedals included?

No. The bundle has the base, hub, round wheel and table clamp. You need to add Logitech RS Pedals or another set. Check the pedal connection before you buy third-party pedals.

Can I mount it on a desk and on a rig?

Yes. Logitech includes a table clamp, T-nuts and bolts, so it can go on a desk or on an aluminum profile or wheel stand rig.
