“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.”
Realistic Force Feedback
Engineered with dual-motor force feedback, the Logitech G920
Driving Force realistically simulates the feel of weight shift,
road conditions, and tire wear, so you can sense under- or
over-steering, traction loss and more. With helical gears modeled
after the gearing used in real world car transmissions, you get
exceptionally smooth, quiet and precise steering action.
Anti-backlash hardware also keeps the wheel and pedal input tight
to maximize control.
Durable Design
Built to last, the Logitech G920 Driving Force features solid
steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft, anodized aluminum spokes,
and stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals. High-quality,
hand-stitched leather gives the Logitech G920 Driving Force the
look and feel of a high-performance racecar wheel, and ensures a
more comfortable and durable user experience. Additionally,
built-in clamps and bolt points allow you to securely mount the
wheel to a table or racing rig to minimize shifting or wobbling
during aggressive maneuvers.
Easy Access to Game Controls
For seamless access to racing controls, the D-Pad, console
buttons and semi-automatic paddle shifters are conveniently located
on the Logitech G920 Driving Force.
Responsive Pedal Unit
The Logitech G920 Driving Force comes with a separate floor
pedal unit that lets you comfortably brake, accelerate and change
gears, just as you would in an actual car, and also allows you to
maintain a more realistic body position for driving. The nonlinear
brake pedal mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake
system for a responsive, accurate braking feel. Additionally, the
G920 includes a dedicated clutch, so gamers who want to test their
abilities can have a truly immersive racing experience.
Optional Driving Force Shifter
Available as an optional add-on, the Driving Force Shifter is a
six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse. The Driving
Force Shifter features quality construction, with a solid steel
gear shaft and hand-stitched leather boot and knob cover. Built-in
clamps and bolt points also allow the Driving Force Shifter to be
mounted securely.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G920 Driving Force is expected to be available at
global retailers including Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg in the U.S,
beginning in October 2015, for a suggested retail price of $399.99.
Driving Force Shifter, a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down
reverse, is also expected to be available as an optional add-on,
for a suggested retail price of $59.99. For more information please

Force will be featured in the Xbox booth in the South Hall during
E3 2015.
