Logitech launched a number of products for gamers today at its LogiPlay event. Some of the products, like the Pro Series mice and keyboards, have been in the works for more than three years.
Here’s a snapshot of all of the Logitech announcements. AI Game Highlighter
Logitech G, a game brand of Logitech, said that Streamlabs will add a new feature, AI Game Highlighter, that leverages AI to make content capture and publishing smarter, faster and more advanced than ever.
“In today’s digital landscape, it’s crucial for content creators to have a presence across multiple platforms,” said Ashray Urs, head of Streamlabs, in a statement. “Streamlabs’ AI Game Highlighter allows streamers to automatically repurpose their Twitch stream into evergreen content that appeals to a wider audience across their favorite content platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and more. Our tool does all the heavy lifting for streamers without needing complicated and time-consuming video editing solutions.”
Growing a Twitch channel to reach a wider audience can be challenging. Hence, the ability to efficiently and seamlessly create, edit, and publish engaging content that resonates with viewers across multiple platforms is more critical than ever. With the new AI Game Highlighter, the best gameplay moments from game streams are automatically identified and combined into a highlight reel that can be managed by Streamlabs Desktop broadcasting software.
With the click of a button, streamers can turn streams into engaging content for publishing across their social content platforms. This saves time manually sifting through hours of footage and ensures streamers can capture the most compelling content for their social media channels.
Streamers can focus on what matters most – connecting with their audience and growing their channels. By leveraging AI Highlighter’s automated algorithmic tools, streamers can ensure their content remains fresh and relevant across different platforms. Features range from automatic post-stream gameplay highlight clips to automatically adding music and transitions. TikTok uploads will be addedin an update.
AI Game Highlighter will be available this fall and is free to use in Streamlabs Desktop. Logitech G unveils racing series gear for sim racing
Logitech G also announced the Racing Series, releasing a set of gear for fans of racing simulation games.
The Racing Series lets players fine-tune their gear setup and equipment levels to match their driving styles.
“We’ve heard from numerous sim racers that their setup should mirror the car they’re driving, whether it’s tackling gravel in a rally car, drifting with burning rubber, or navigating an open-wheeler with precision,” said Richard Neville, head of Sim product engineering at Logitech G, in a statement. “Each of these disciplines requires distinct steering input styles to achieve peak performance and the best feel, which is why the steering wheel shapes in these vehicles vary greatly. We developed the RS system specifically
for motorsport enthusiasts who want to play their way.”
Sim racers’ expectations are primarily driven by the desire to replicate the feeling of a real-world car. This encompasses the steering wheel and additional controls such as shifting and handbrakes. Additionally, sim racers want the flexibility to upgrade their system as needed or as their budget permits. They may seek to purchase specific components to achieve particular goals, whether attaining a certain torque level in their wheel, selecting a specific steering wheel shape, or ensuring compatibility across multiple platforms with a single device.
Each component in the Racing Series is designed to the same highest quality and performance standards, providing drivers with the equipment choices and customization options to create a truly cutting-edge racing experience that replicates the demands of real-world racing.
All Racing Series products are compatible with Pro Series racing products, with select items offering backward compatibility with G Series wheels through the Logitech G Racing Adapter. This expands opportunities for drivers while maintaining a legacy of precision, providing a gateway to unmatched racing experiences.
The new Racing Series consists of the following new products:
The Logitech G RS Wheel Hub: Engineered for compatibility on PC/console and versatility across racing disciplines, the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub pairs seamlessly with any Logitech G Direct Drive Base, accommodating single, double, or triple-platform setups.
The RS Wheel Hub features a user-friendly quick-release mechanism, ensuring an ultra-secure, friction-free fit for your steering wheels. It supports both Racing Series and Logitech G x MOMO steering wheels.
The adjustable gear shifters can be customized in width to fit different wheel rim sizes and are removable when using the RS Wheel Hub with Logitech G’s RS Shifter & Handbrake. Additionally, you can enhance your sim racing experience with customizable RGB rev lights, allowing you to adjust light patterns, direction, and color through G HUB software.
As the most versatile steering wheel hub, the RS Wheel Hub is designed to elevate your sim racing experience to new heights.
The Logitech G RS Track Wheel: Geared for track racing, the Logitech G RS Track Wheel is engineered to meet the demands of long races. It combines ergonomically sculpted TPE material with lightweight, low-carbon aluminum. This design ensures enhanced ventilation, comfort, and grip, even at high speeds over extended periods.
The TPE material, uniquely sculpted with a custom microtexture dot pattern, provides breathability and improved traction. This results in a wheel that molds to your hands, offering synergy between you and the on-screen action for increased confidence at high speeds. Crafted to maximize lifespan, the RS Track Wheel maintains peak performance without compromise.
The RS Track Wheel easily attaches to the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub, with bolts and a hex key included.
The Logitech G RS Round Wheel: Designed to maintain maximum control during rapid wheel rotation, the Logitech G RS Round Wheel helps drivers dominate the track. The wheel is crafted with high-performance silicone leather and low-carbon aluminum. The material choice maximizes its lifespan and reduces environmental impact without compromising performance.
High-performance silicone leather offers a premium feel, while the intuitive, fuller grip profile provides optimal handling through hairpin corners or turns. The result is a wheel that conforms to your hands for unparalleled synergy between you and the action on-screen.

The Logitech G RS QR Adapter: This product prioritizes compatibility, allowing you to pair it with nearly any 70mm or 50.8mm PCD front- or rear-mounting aftermarket steering wheel, including those from renowned racing wheel manufacturer MOMO. It connects to any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base on a PC and features quick-release functionality, enabling easy wheel swaps from race to race. Use a single adapter with all your wheels to switch them out in seconds.
