Today, Asetek Racing has announced it is bringing a new sim racing wheelbase to the market that will add to its extensive ecosystem of setups. The next wheelbase in the Asetek Racing line is the Initium DD10, as it delivers direct drive performance and genuine cross-platform freedom and compatibility for racers. While Asetek Racing has officially announced this new wheelbase, the full details will come at a later date. This will launch in Q4 2026, and it will be compatible with both Xbox and PC, so no PlayStation or Switch support. This is still a win to have more wheelbases in the console ecosystem, and Xbox could use some more options. The Core Aspects of the Initium DD10 In our review of the previous Initium wheelbase, it was noted that it was fairly heavy, but the feedback was fantastic. The DD stands for direct drive, and the 10 monicker is the amount of torque. This measures in at 10 Nm, but the latest Initium DD10 wheelbase is upgradeable up to 14 Nm. This is for those seeking extreme feedback while racing, and certainly some toned arms. The Initium DD10 is being built to go back and forth between Xbox and PC, which means the Xbox supported product portfolio for Asetek is being expanded. This will launch in Q4 2026, and it will be compatible with both Xbox and PC, so no PlayStation or Switch support. There is an "openness" to this wheelbase, as well. This is accomplished via onboard USB pass-through capabilities. This will allow for the Initium DD10 wheelbase to support both a full range of Asetek Racing wheels, but also third-party wheels. This is a rare level of compatibility. This can also potentially save some players' money as they will not need to invest in a new wheel
