New Logitech G 923 TrueForce Wheel For PC | PlayStation | Xbox Announced
Gaming technologies and gear manufacturer Logitech just announced its first new racing wheel since the introduction of the G29 and G920 five years ago. The new Logitech G923 is compatible with the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Fans of the previous Logitech wheel series will instantly notice that the G 923 looks very similar to its predecessor. However, Logitech states that the G923 incorporates new features such as the new high-definition force feedback system named “TrueForce.” that dials into a game’s physics and audio engine to deliver an ultra-realistic experience.
Apparently, the motors and the gear mechanisms utilized for G 923 are the same as the ones from the older G29 and G920 units.
“For the last few years, we’ve been working with sim drivers, and professional race car drivers to develop a full-featured, realistic driving experience like no other,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager at Logitech G. “With TRUEFORCE you really get to feel the road, along with all the subtle features of the race car. It truly elevates the experience, and everyone we’ve had try it always walks away with a smile!”
More features include:
- upgraded internal electronics to handle the new FFB system, registering the wheels inputs 4,000 times per second.
- Programmable Dual Clutch Launch Controls – allows racers to get off the line cleaner and faster with a programmable dual-clutch that facilitates maximum traction and minimum smoke.
- Built-In Rev Indicator – built-in colored LED lights indicate your RPM range, alerting the racer when they’re hitting redline.
- On-Wheel Game Controls – game controls for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5* consoles integrated into the steering wheel for total control at your fingertips.
- Progressive Brake Pedals – featuring a new progressive spring for a more responsive feel, the new brake pedal responsiveness adds more realism and control.
- 24-Point Selection Dial – built-in selection dial allows the racer to adjust traction, torque, automatic stability management, brake force, and more.
It is also reported that the Logitech G923 is compatible with the new upcoming Xbox Series X console.
The Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals will work with PlayStation 4 and PC when it launches in America and Europe in August 2020. The G923 is part of the official licensing program for PlayStation and will therefore also work with new PlayStation 5 when the console launches later in the year. ( Still awaiting final product approval)
Pricing:
The Logitech G 923 TrueForce is available for pre-order at a price of € 399.00 / £349.99 / $399.99. Pre-orders are expected to ship somewhere during August.

Meet the next generation of racing wheels. The award-winning Logitech G design is re-engineered to dial into your game physics, delivering unprecedented realism. Feel the pistons pumping, the gravel crunching, and every shift, drift, and hairpin turn like never before.
TrueForce Next-Gen Simulation
Our latest innovation in force feedback technology connects directly to in-game simulation engines and physics to produce higher fidelity, real-time responses. The feedback frequency range is also increased for dramatically improved detail and realism compared to previous generations.TRUEFORCE and advanced features require game integration. Visit logitechg.com/support/g923-xb1 for a complete list of supported games.
Force Feedback Revolutionized
TRUEFORCE changes the game. While other racing wheels simplify and downgrade game physics, Logitech G delivers the first high-definition force feedback steering wheel with precisely controlled forces and an unprecedented update rate.
Most racing wheels still operate on 20-year-old force feedback technology, where forces and vibrations are created from a selection of profiles and a limited library of haptic effects. Designed to overcome the limitations of early USB technology and single-core CPUs, they were used to approximate the sensations generated from your sim car. This means the carefully calculated physics from the game can be simplified and degraded.
We developed a high-speed, real-time haptics software technology derived from surgical force-feedback systems—with enough bandwidth to deliver detailed game physics right to your G923. So you feel everything.
Closed-Loop Motor Control
The right current means the right torque. G923’s advanced firmware monitors all the current flowing through the wheel motors, continuously adjusting voltage to match outputs from game physics. By going beyond default settings, G923 delivers pinpoint accuracy and unprecedented realism.
More Traction – Less Smoke
Get off the starting line cleaner and faster with a programmable dual-clutch launch assist in supported games.
Crafted for Racing
The classic design—modernized. The new colorway, premium brushed metal, automotive-style leather stitching, and polished pedals give G923 a professional finish. Form follows function with an integrated center marker and rotary dial.
On-Wheel Controls
Complete Xbox One or PS4 controls are built right into the steering wheel. No matter how you race, every command is directly at hand.
24-point Selection Dial
Traction, torque, brake force—it’s all adjustable from an integrated dial that you control.2TRUEFORCE and advanced features require game integration. Visit logitechg.com/support/g923-xb1 for a complete list of supported games.
Progressive Brake Pedal
More responsive, more accurate. The progressive spring mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system for a real racing experience. Reposition the pedal faces for heel-toe maneuvers and even more control.
Build-In Rev Indicator
Built-in colored LEDs show your RPM range in supported games. See when you’re redline-ing—right in your line of sight.3TRUEFORCE and advanced features require game integration. Visit logitechg.com/support/g923-xb1 for a complete list of supported games.
