Best Racing Wheel for Xbox

Eight wheels that work on Xbox Series X|S, from a cheap gear-driven G923 to 15 Nm direct drive. Xbox support is the part most buyers get wrong, so start with the compatibility table: a wheel needs an Xbox licence, and for Fanatec that licence is in the rim, not the base.

How Xbox wheel support works

  • Xbox needs a licensed wheel. Look for "Designed for Xbox" or Xbox on the box. PlayStation and Xbox versions of the same wheel (Logitech G923, G PRO, Thrustmaster T598 and T598-X) are different products.
  • Fanatec: the licence is in the rim. Fit an Xbox-licensed Fanatec rim and the CSL DD, Gran Turismo DD Pro, ClubSport DD and DD+ all work on Xbox. Plug the pedals and shifter into the base, not into USB, or the console will not see them.
  • MOZA: only the R3 with its ESX wheel works on Xbox. Other MOZA bases are PC only. Setup: MOZA R3 settings.
  • Logitech RS50: the base works on Xbox only with the Xbox-specific RS wheel.
  • PC is almost always included. Xbox wheels also work on a Windows PC, but updates for Fanatec and most others need a PC anyway.

Also racing on PC? See the best racing wheels for PC. Want to race on both Xbox and PlayStation? Only Fanatec gets close: a PlayStation-compatible base (GT DD Pro or ClubSport DD+) with an Xbox-licensed rim works on both, swapping rims.

Wheels with clutch and shifter for Xbox

  • Three pedals in the box: Logitech G923 and Thrustmaster T248 include a clutch pedal. Set them up with our T248 settings and G29/G920 settings.
  • Add a clutch later: the MOZA R3, Fanatec CSL and Thrustmaster T598-X bundles come with two pedals; add a third pedal or a better set. Our pedal guide covers upgrades.
  • Shifter: Logitech's Driving Force Shifter suits the G923; Thrustmaster's TH8S works with the T248; Fanatec shifters plug into the base. Check the shifter works with your wheel on Xbox. More in our shifter guide.

Logitech or Thrustmaster for Xbox?

At the budget end, the Logitech G923 is simple and reliable with three pedals, while the Thrustmaster T248 adds a screen, magnetic paddles and adjustable brake pressure. For direct drive, Logitech's RS50 (8 Nm) and G PRO (11 Nm) are stronger than Thrustmaster's T598-X (5 Nm), but the T598-X includes pedals. If you might move to PC racing later, Fanatec has the widest range to grow into.

Mount any direct drive wheel firmly: see our budget rig guide and cockpit guide. Then set your field of view for your TV or monitor with the FOV calculator.

How we chose

We have not lab-tested these wheels. We picked current wheels sim racers recommend for Xbox at each budget and checked torque, bundle contents and Xbox support against manufacturer and specialist pages. Where a source does not confirm Xbox One support, we say "check box" rather than guess. We left out wheels only sold for Xbox One.

FAQ

What is the best racing wheel for Xbox Series X?

For most people, the Fanatec CSL DD Ready2Race GT3 for Xbox: direct drive, upgradable and in the biggest ecosystem. On a budget, the MOZA R3 bundle. For the least money, the Logitech G923.

What is the best direct drive wheel for Xbox?

The MOZA R3 (3.9 Nm) on a budget, the Fanatec CSL DD (5 to 8 Nm) or Logitech RS50 (8 Nm) in the middle, and the Logitech G PRO (11 Nm) or Fanatec ClubSport DD+ (15 Nm) with an Xbox rim at the top.

Is it worth getting a steering wheel for Xbox?

Yes, if you play Forza Motorsport, F1 or ACC regularly. A wheel and pedals make braking and car control far more precise than a controller, and even the cheapest wheel here is a big step up.

Will an Xbox wheel work on PS5?

Generally no. Logitech and Thrustmaster sell separate Xbox and PlayStation versions. A Fanatec PlayStation-compatible base can work on both if you swap between licensed rims. See our PS5 wheel guide.

Do Xbox racing wheels work on PC?

Yes, every wheel here also works on a Windows PC.

Which Xbox wheels come with a clutch?

The Logitech G923 and Thrustmaster T248 include three pedals. Direct drive bundles like the MOZA R3 and Fanatec CSL come with two, and you can add a clutch later.
