Forza Horizon 6 is so much better with a racing seat, I can never go back to a controller
A Polygon writer describes how playing Forza Horizon 6 with a racing wheel, pedals and cockpit seat transforms the game compared with using a standard controller. Testing Logitech's RS ecosystem, including the RS wheel, RS pedals, clutch module and Playseat Trophy racing seat, the writer found that the added physicality and force feedback made driving feel far more tangible and engaging, arguing they can no longer go back to using a controller for the game.
The piece highlights how force feedback communicates information such as tyre grip loss, rough terrain and impacts through the wheel, giving players a better sense of each car's weight and handling. It also notes that the setup exposes driving mistakes that a controller's smoothed-out inputs typically hide, making cornering and throttle control considerably less forgiving and requiring newcomers to adjust their technique accordingly.
- Racing wheel setup makes Forza Horizon 6 feel far more immersive
- Logitech RS ecosystem's force feedback conveys grip, terrain and impacts
- Wheel setup is harder to master, punishing sloppy driving inputs
