Gran Turismo 7 Is Getting an Official MOZA Wheel with PlayStation Compatibility

Polyphony Digital has announced Moza Racing as a new official peripheral partner of the Gran Turismo World Series, but the big news is buried a little further down the press release… Moza is developing a steering wheel controller in collaboration with Gran Turismo, that will be natively supported in Gran Turismo 7. In other words, a PlayStation-compatible Moza wheel is coming. Moza’s First Step Onto PlayStation If you follow sim racing hardware, you already know Moza. Founded in 2012 by a group of automotive engineers and simulation enthusiasts, the company has built out a full ecosystem of direct drive wheel bases, steering wheels, its “Active Pedal” force feedback pedals, and even motion systems. What Moza has never had is a product that works on a PlayStation console. Its hardware has been almost entirely a PC affair, with a minor foray into Xbox territory with the R3 back in 2023. In terms of force-feedback wheels, Sony’s console has remained the exclusive domain of Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec, and breaking into that club is a big deal both for Moza and GT7 players. Of course, today’s announcement doesn’t include any details about the new wheel itself, and no release window beyond “the future”. But the fact that it’s being developed “in collaboration with Gran Turismo” suggests this is more than a simple compatibility patch. Series producer Kazunori Yamauchi’s comments hint at how the partnership came about, and it started somewhere unexpected (though perhaps not surprising for Yamauchi-san): camera equipment. “My first experience with MOZA was actually through their camera stabilization gimbals. Gimbals and steering controllers both use the same type of technology in that they exercise very precise control over electric motors, so I had my eyes on MOZA’s developmental ability, technology, and reliability for a while now,” Yamauchi said. Yamauchi added

Moza R5 Pro bundle brings upgraded torque, improved feedback, and more

Moza R5 Pro bundle brings upgraded torque, improved feedback, and more Moza has released an update to it relatively budget R5 racing bundle (our review). The R5 Pro bundle brings some minor improvements without a price increase. The wheelbase, steering wheel, and the pedals have been somewhat upgraded, with most of the improvements pertaining to the wheelbase. Moza R5 Pro racing simulator bundle features The original Moza R5 direct drive wheelbase was rated for 5.5 Nm of torque despite its compact form factor. The PC-only R5 Pro wheelbase maintains the compact build but switches to less boxy design, and ups the torque to 6 Nm. Moza has also updated its force feedback algorithm to NexGen 5.0, which it claims delivers a more refined and realistic experience. The 21-bit high resolution magnetic encoder is said to deliver 64 times the precision. The ES Steering wheel that came with the R5 bundle has been “upgraded” to the ES Lite. The size, buttons, LEDs, and shape remain the same, but the pedals are now metal. Rubber grips have been added to the sides and the center strip seems to be wider with the ES Lite. The SR-P Lite pedals have been upgraded to SR-P Lite2, but retain the two-pedal combo with room for expansion. They are Hall effect pedals with a good amount of adjustability and durable high-strength steel construction. There are ample upgrade options available as well. Moza R5 Pro racing simulator bundle price and availability The R5 Pro bundle is priced at $399 and is available for purchase via the official website. The SR-P Lite2 Clutch pedal will be an extra $40 add-on. Moza estimates shipping to start mid-August.

Moza's first motion platform priced, released

Moza Racing’s first foray into motion sim racing is now available. The HMA150 Haptic Motion Actuator has been released today, 28th July 2026, and will be priced at $2,999 / €3,199 / £2,799 (for the four-actuator set). To be clear, this isn’t for a full setup, including seat and cockpit, for example. Instead, this is a quartet of motion actuators, which can be retrofitted to a sim racing rig and provide movement with the aim of increasing immersion. Initially showcased at the San Francisco GDC event in March, the four-axis system aims to replicate pitch, roll and heave effects through 150 mm of travel and at response speeds of up to 300 mm/s. It features an integrated controller and includes an emergency stop switch. Moza claims to have developed its own servo motors, control algorithms, structural engineering and software. Speaking of the software, Moza Motion Manager, it allows for settings such as vibration effects, motion range, intensity and individual movement axes to be tweaked.

Gran Turismo World Series partners with Moza Racing, PS5 devices in development

Gran Turismo World Series partners with Moza Racing, PS5 devices in development Moza is the new wheel and pedal supplier for Gran Turismo 7’s pinnacle competition, thus also confirming the manufacturer’s first PS5-compatible devices. Moza Racing becomes official sim racing equipment partner of the Gran Turismo World Series Only the third wheel and pedal provider ever for the competition, which happens mid-season Significant shift for Moza, as it develops its first PlayStation-compatible devices In a surprise mid-season switch, Moza Racing is now the official wheel and pedal partner of the Gran Turismo World Series, Gran Turismo 7‘s pinnacle competition. It’s a significant change for the competition, which mixes initial online and in-game qualifying stages with (in recent years) four lavishly produced in-person events where the world’s best drivers compete. Moza becomes only the third sim racing equipment partner of the Gran Turismo World Series, which is of particular interest, as presently it doesn’t have any PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 compatible devices. These are hinted at by Gran Turismo Series Producer, Kazunori Yamauch, with talk of creating a steering wheel ‘optimal’ for GT7 use: “Please look forward to the new products that will be released through Moza,” he said. “My first experience with MOZA was actually through their camera stabilisation gimbals. “Gimbals and steering controllers both use the same type of technology in that they exercise very precise control over electric motors, so I had my eyes on MOZA’s developmental ability, technology, and reliability for a while now. “The evolution of consumer-level force feedback steering that started from Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec is still ongoing, but with MOZA now joining us as a partner, I’m excited to see the expanded possibilities to develop a steering wheel that is optimal in the eyes of ‘Gran Turismo’.” Moza has confirmed that its
