Nacon continue to be one of the biggest names in gaming, whether through their publishing arm releasing titles like Hell is Us, Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss and Styx: Blades of Greed, or in their peripheral manufacturing of top-tier devices like the Daija Fight Stick or their latest RIG R8 Spectre Pro headset. They’re now expanding their lineup of direct-drive Revosim sim-racing wheels, with three new options which bring console compatibility to the range for the very first time. If you’re a console bound sim-racer, you should be very excited.
Each set includes a full rig of steering wheel, base and pedals, and cover each entry point, from the more budget-focused RS Lite to the top-of-the-range RS Pure.
The RS Pure is a premium 10NM bundle compatible with consoles, with Nacon aiming for users that are looking for a seriously high level of performance and realism. This is the version that marks NACON’s strategic entry into the console sim-racing market, after making a great impression on PC.
The RS Initiale is the middle-ground, 6NM bundle for PC and consoles. You’re getting a wheel base designed to offer an optimal balance between performance, price and accessibility, and I can see this being a popular model for those who want a step up in quality, but aren’t quite as serious about their racing setup.
Finally, the RS Lite is the entry-level 3.2NM bundle for PC and consoles. This model is designed to make Direct Drive technology accessible to a larger number of users, and Nacon will be hoping to go head to head with more established console wheel manufacturers like Thrustmaster and Logitech.
We’re going to have to wait a little longer for the full specification and pricing for the new Revosim line, but we’re going to be keeping a close eye on this one as we gear up for some serious console racing.
