Earlier this year, we reviewed the Playseat Trophy – Logitech G Edition and it’s an excellent sim racing chair, albeit one that takes up a lot of space. The latest Playseat x Logitech G collaboration addresses that with a sim racing chair that folds up relatively compactly when you’re not using it for easier storage.

While the Playseat Challenge isn’t new, the Playseat Challenge X features a few upgrades on top of the Logitech G colour scheme and branding. The three upgrades include X-Adapt seat adjustments, ActiFit breathable material for the seat, and a hard mounted pedal plate with tilt positioning. These new features are in addition to the foldable carbon steel frame and adjustabilty the Playseat Challenge is known for.
“There was a considerable amount of collaboration on this product to make the Challenge X more functional, comfortable and overall, a better racing experience, than traditional desktop gaming chairs. During that process our teams focused on three key areas of a sim racing chair and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.”
Jim Hoey, head of simulation marketing at Logitech G
