“The G920 is the wheel fans have been asking for on Xbox One,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of the Logitech gaming business. “We built on our history and legacy of previous generation driving wheels to deliver on a truly immersive experience for Xbox One gamers. I personally can’t wait to get behind our new wheel to play Forza Motorsport 6.”
“This is great news for all of the Xbox One racing fans who used a Logitech wheel in the past and have been asking for this on our system,” said James Hunter, Director of Business and Strategy, Xbox Accessories. “With the release of Forza Motorsport 6 later this fall racing enthusiasts will now have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the game with the Logitech G920 Racing Wheel.”
The force feedback will be activated to simulate feel of weight shift, road conditions, tire wear and can also help gamers sense under steer and over steer, traction loss etc. Thanks to solid steel ball bearing, anodized aluminum spokes and steel paddle shifters/pedals, the G920 is designed to last long and withstand the torture in the hands of hard core racing fans. G920 can be mounted to table or racing rig using built-in clamps and bolt points.
