At Logitech G PLAY 2026, the company introduced a comprehensive new range of sim racing equipment. This expanded lineup, centered on the Logitech G RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle, PC-only iterations of the RS50 System and G923, and the RS Pedals SE, aims to increase the accessibility and flexibility of sim racing for both dedicated enthusiasts and aspiring racers.
The Legacy and the McLaren Partnership
The iconic papaya color, first popularized by Bruce McLaren in the 1960s, represents six decades of racing excellence and innovation. Professional drivers, including McLaren Formula 1 Team Drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, routinely use simulators to perfect skills like braking points and setup adjustments using advanced force feedback systems. The new RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle is designed to bring the spirit and visual energy of McLaren Racing directly into the home, appealing to motorsport fans who wish to feel closer to the track.
Sim racing isn’t just about replicating physics; it’s about capturing the emotional connection between driver and machine. The RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle represents years of work translating what professional teams demand into something accessible.
Advanced Components and Technology
The all-in-one RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle provides a complete setup for an immersive PC or console racing experience. Key components include the RS50 Wheel Base, which features an 8 Nm Direct Drive system utilizing TRUEFORCE technology for highly realistic feedback; the RS Formula Wheel; the RS Wheel Hub, equipped with magnetic paddle shifters and fully integrated controls; and the RS Pedals, which incorporate a 75 kg load-cell brake. The package also includes all necessary accessories for immediate assembly on a rig or table.
The system is engineered to immerse drivers in precision driving through advanced braking and responsive steering. The technology aims to provide a deep, tactile connection to the sport, allowing users to practice and refine their skills from home. The core technology, TRUEFORCE, found in both the RS50 and the G923, uniquely connects with in-game physics to deliver a deeper layer of feedback than standard systems, enabling users to feel not only steering forces but also the engine’s rumble, the texture of the road, and the exact moment of hitting a curb.
Flexibility and Growth Path
A key aspect of the new lineup is its commitment to customization and gradual investment. Logitech G emphasized a “pay-for-what-you-need” philosophy, allowing users to build a setup that grows with their ambitions. New users may begin with the G923 PC-only model, while those seeking higher performance can upgrade to the RS50 PC-only System. The RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle offers the full, comprehensive experience immediately.
This modular approach is also visible in the RS Pedals SE. Initially, the pedals include durable Hall-effect gas and brake pedals, offering a precise two-pedal setup suitable for both GT and Formula racing. If advanced braking is desired later, the load-cell brake is available as an optional add-on, rather than requiring a large initial investment. Furthermore, the hall-effect brake unit can be repurposed as a clutch for manual transmissions.
Logitech G stated that the expanded, PC-only selection empowers drivers by focusing on choice and simplicity, ensuring that the experience of high-level motorsport is both easier to achieve and highly rewarding.
