Upgrading from a Logitech G29: what actually changes

Replacing the wheel, not modifying it — which direct-drive paths keep PlayStation, which paths drop it, and what you should assume carries over. Every claim sourced.

We have not driven these products. Every yes and no here is sourced with a retrieval date — each linked spec sheet carries its sources.

First, which question is this?

"Upgrade" means two different things around the G29. This page is about replacing it with a stronger wheelbase. It is not about modifying the G29 you own — pedal springs, rim wraps, brake mods — which is community territory we don't cover.

What replacing a G29 actually involves

The G29 is sold as one integrated unit: gear-driven wheel and base together, pedals in the box. Logitech does not document a user-removable rim or quick-release system for the G29, so there is no published path that moves the G29 rim onto a direct-drive base — an upgrade means a new base plus a compatible wheel (and, on base-only products, pedals too; each spec sheet's "you still need" line says exactly what).

The G29's platform position — and how to keep it

PlayStation-licensed - Logitech's store page lists PS5, PS4, PS3, and PC. A platform mode switch selects PS4, PS3, or PC operation; PS5 use is in PS5 games that support the wheel. That PlayStation support is the thing an upgrade most easily loses: entire direct-drive brands in our dataset publish no PlayStation support (MOZA Racing, Simagic, Simucube, Asetek). The paths that keep PlayStation, from the sourced records:

The full sourced picture, including everything that does not work on PlayStation, is on the PS5 compatibility table. If PlayStation doesn't matter to you, every base in the wheelbase lab is on the table — sorted by published torque, price, and platform there.

What carries over from your G29

Assume nothing carries over unless a maker publishes a port or adapter for it. Within Logitech's own ecosystem there are documented exceptions: Logitech's Racing Adapter documentation lists official support for connecting the Driving Force Shifter and G923/G29/G920 pedals to the newer RS and PRO ecosystems — so both your shifter and your pedals have a published path onto Logitech's own upgrade targets. Attaching G29-ecosystem gear to another brand's base is not a published, supported configuration: check the "in the box" and "you still need" lines on the spec sheet of whatever base you're considering, because that is where published support begins and ends.
