These peripherals are clutch (pun intended) for those that love racing games. And steering wheels make a great addition to any game room.
These racing wheels make games feel that much more realistic, and with games like Forza 7 going for the ultimate realistic driving experience, you’re going to want to have the most realistic gameplay possible. Here are the best Xbox One racing wheels:
Racing with a controller will never feel right again.
This Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel + Logitech G Driving Force Shifter Bundle is probably the best Xbox One racing wheel on the market. And if you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X, it’s compatible with those consoles too. Because it’s a bundle, it comes with both the wheel and pedals. As well as the professional style six-speed shifter that’s “H” styled for smooth transitions.
The wheel itself sports dual-motors that allow for realistic force feedback. Construction of the Xbox racing wheel is high end, featuring a hand-stitched leather wheel cover, solid steel ball bearings within the wheel shaft, and durable stainless steel pedals and paddle shifters. The front of the wheel sports easy-to-access controller buttons, D-pad, and paddle shifters. And there are even LED indicators that signal exactly how high your RPMs are for shifting purposes.
Turning the G920 is just like a real race car, as the wheel offers 900-degree steering which amounts to two and half rotations. And if you’re planning to expand your setup into a proper racing simulator, the Logitech G920 is designed to be compatible with a variety of racing mounts.
The Thrustmaster TMX Force Feedback Racing Wheel is one of the best Xbox One racing wheels out there. Although its look is rather simplistic and plain-looking, this wheel comes PACKED with ultimate features you’ll absolutely love while playing your favorite racing games.
For example, it has a leading 900 degrees of full force feedback, and it uses a mixed belt-pulley and gears system, as well as a metal ball-bearing axle for the ultimate in realism.

It has adjustable steering sensitivity so that you can find the right feel for your driving and an automatic centering feature. It rotates 240 degrees and gives players unrivaled precision. It comes with a pedal set featuring a wide footrest. The angle of the pedals can be adjusted, and the brake pedal has progressive resistance to ensure realistic racing sensations.
The PXN V3II Race Steering Wheel is one sick-looking rig. It screams cool with its orange and black tones. And it’s comfortable too thanks to its soft rubber grip.
The Xbox One racing wheel features dual-motor force feedback. It comes with a shifter right next to the wheel. Non-slip pedals come included with the racing rig. Seven suctions cups are placed on the bottom for stability, as well as a c-type fixer for added support.

Suction cups could dislodge from desks during intense moments.

HORI is well-known for their amazing Nintendo Wii U controllers inspired by the classic GameCube controller, but they also have plenty of other gaming accessories worth noting. The HORI Racing Wheel One for Xbox One is officially licensed by Microsoft. It has paddle shifters and rubber grips for a realistic driving experience. The wheel centers itself, too.
It might not look as cool as anything other companies put out — it’s just all black — but it gets the job done. It has programmable buttons for customization and analog foot pedals with a large base for stability. It’s cheaper than most though, so there’s no force feedback or any rumble. Still, it gets the job done if you want a steering wheel in your hand instead of a controller.
