The Logitech G920 Driving Force is the Xbox and PC counterpart of the well-regarded G29, and it is the default mid-range sim wheel for anyone racing on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One or a Windows PC. It packages the same dual-motor force feedback, 900 degrees of rotation, three-pedal floor set and premium leather-wrapped rim as the G29, with firmware tuned to Microsoft’s consoles. This Logitech G920 Driving Force review covers the build, force feedback, compatibility and value for Xbox-first sim racers in 2026.

Force Feedback and Realism
The G920 inherits the G29’s dual-motor force feedback architecture, with two motors driving a helical gearing system to deliver feedback through the rim. The result is a smooth, informative steering feel that is in a different category from the rumble of an Xbox controller — you feel weight transfer, kerbs, surface changes and the moment the front tyres start to wash. The helical gearing is quieter than the spur gears found in cheaper wheels, and the feedback is detailed enough that you can lap consistently rather than guessing at grip. Pair the feedback with the full 900 degrees of rotation and you can take the wheel from lock to lock the way you would in a real car, which is the single biggest reason wheel users improve over controller users in sim racing.
In Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon, the G920’s feedback is particularly well calibrated out of the box — the in-game feedback profiles are tuned to match Logitech’s hardware, so you get clear front-axle information from the moment you start playing. In ACC and iRacing on PC, you will want to spend a session in the Logitech G HUB software setting force feedback strength, dampening and per-game profiles to taste, but the underlying feedback quality is more than sufficient for league-level driving once dialled in. The feedback also holds up well during long endurance sessions; the motors do not significantly fade with heat, which matters when you are running stints longer than half an hour.
Compatibility and Platforms
The G920 is the Xbox-and-PC version of the Driving Force family. It is officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and works over USB on Windows PC. That makes it the natural choice for Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon, F1 24, Assetto Corsa Competizione and the rest of the Xbox racing catalogue, as well as the full PC sim line-up of iRacing, Automobilista 2, RaceRoom and DiRT Rally 2.0. PlayStation owners should instead buy the otherwise-identical G29. The Xbox firmware ensures that game menus, button mapping and licensing all work transparently with Microsoft’s consoles.
Pedals and Build Quality
The G920 ships with the same premium materials and three-pedal set as the G29. Hand-stitched leather wraps the rim, the paddle shifters are stainless steel and the spokes are anodised aluminium — at this price you would normally see moulded plastic, so the premium materials are a real differentiator. The three pedals — clutch, brake and throttle — sit in a metal-faced floor unit, with the same non-linear brake that progressively stiffens as you push it. That progressive resistance is closer to a real car’s hydraulic brake than the linear springs of cheaper wheels, and it makes consistent threshold braking far easier to learn. The clutch enables H-pattern shifting if you add the optional Driving Force Shifter.
Software, Buttons and Controls
The G920 carries a full Xbox button layout on the rim — D-pad, A/B/X/Y, menu and view, and the Xbox guide button — so you can navigate dashboards and games without picking up the controller. The paddles are large, metal and crisp, and a 270-degree rotary dial sits on the rim for live adjustments. On PC, Logitech G HUB lets you tune force feedback strength, sensitivity, rotation angle and per-pedal mapping. The Xbox driver experience is plug-and-play. The wheel clamps to a desk with the supplied clamps or bolts onto a sim rig for a more permanent setup.
What’s in the Box
The G920 box includes the wheel base with attached rim, the three-pedal floor unit, an AC power brick for the motors, the USB cable to console or PC, and the desk clamp hardware. The Driving Force Shifter, which adds a six-speed H-pattern shifter with a reverse lockout, is sold separately and connects to a dedicated port on the wheel base. No rig or stand is included, so factor in either a sturdy desk or a wheel stand if you want to game in a chair.
Who It’s For
The G920 is the right wheel for the Xbox or PC sim racer who wants a real force-feedback experience without spending direct-drive money. If you play Forza, F1, ACC or iRacing on Xbox or Windows and you want the leap from controller to wheel done properly, this is the obvious choice. It is also a sensible starter wheel that you can keep for years before upgrading the pedals, shifter or base. It is not for PlayStation players (use the G29 instead) and not for enthusiasts who have already decided to skip straight to a belt-driven or direct-drive base. For most Xbox-first sim racers, the G920 is the safe default.
Verdict
The Logitech G920 Driving Force is the benchmark mid-priced sim wheel for Xbox and PC. The dual-motor force feedback, 900-degree rotation, three-pedal set and premium materials give you the genuine wheel experience that controllers cannot match, and the Xbox licensing means every major racing title on Microsoft’s consoles will recognise it day one. At around $299, it is the wheel most Xbox sim racers should buy first. For PC racers, our best RTX 5070 gaming laptops guide covers gaming machines that will pair nicely with it.
Compared with its closest rivals — the Thrustmaster TMX in the same price tier — the G920 has the more premium materials and the better-included three-pedal set, while the TMX has slightly smoother feedback thanks to its belt-pulley drive. For most Xbox sim racers, that trade-off tips toward the G920, especially given its bundled clutch pedal. The G920 also benefits from the strongest software ecosystem in this tier through Logitech G HUB, with the deepest set of per-game profiles available.
