MOZA Is Finally Bringing Direct Drive to the PS5 — With Native Gran Turismo 7 Support
Three officially licensed PlayStation products, built alongside Polyphony Digital, land MOZA in a console direct-drive market Fanatec and Logitech have had mostly to themselves. Torque, pricing, and a launch date are all still blank.
MOZA Racing published its PlayStation announcement on September 17, the opening day of Tokyo Game Show 2026, confirming its first hardware developed under Sony's official PlayStation licensing program. Three products were named: the MOZA R5S Pro Racing Simulator, an all-in-one bundle pairing a direct-drive wheel base with a steering wheel and pedals; the MOZA R16S Ultra Racing Simulator, a higher-end package built around the R16S base and wheel; and the MOZA R16S Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base sold on its own, aimed at existing MOZA owners who want to pick their own rim. TGS ran September 17–21 at Makuhari Messe, a five-day edition marking the show's 30th anniversary, and MOZA says the show floor was the first public look at the hardware.
For the millions of racers who have been asking MOZA to bring its products to PlayStation, the wait is now coming to an end.
The part that matters most isn't the boxes — it's what they talk to. MOZA describes the launch as "the beginning" of a collaboration with Polyphony Digital, with the company developing a racing wheel controller carrying native support for Gran Turismo 7. From launch, MOZA says its PS5 lineup will work with GT7 and "a growing selection of compatible racing titles." That follows a July 28 announcement in which MOZA became an official peripheral partner of the Gran Turismo World Series, an arrangement that also covers a Gran Turismo-branded wheel controller. "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," GT series producer Kazunori Yamauchi said at the time; MOZA CEO Chenyong Guan called the tie-up "an exciting milestone."
What MOZA has not said is nearly as notable. There are no published torque figures for any of the PlayStation units, no pricing, and no firm launch date — the company states only that those details come "at a later stage," and its own footnote adds that the hardware "will work with PlayStation 5 subject to Sony Interactive Entertainment's final product approval." The PC products the names echo are a reasonable reference point and nothing more: MOZA's store lists the existing R5 Pro bundle at 5.5 Nm and the R16 Ultra base at 16 N·m. Neither figure has been confirmed for the console versions, and the S suffix suggests at minimum a different board and firmware stack.
The competitive picture is why sim racers are paying attention anyway. PS5 is a licensed, locked platform — a wheel either gets Sony's blessing or it simply doesn't steer a PlayStation — and that gate has kept the console direct-drive shelf unusually thin. Fanatec's Gran Turismo DD Extreme bundle, also co-developed with Polyphony Digital, sits at the top with an 18 Nm base and a $1,219.99 sticker. Logitech's PRO Racing Wheel, built on the 11 Nm PRO DD base with TRUEFORCE feedback, is $999.99. A third licensed direct-drive brand entering at both ends of that range is the first real pressure on those prices in years.
MOZA's own boilerplate claims more than three million customers across 100-plus countries, built on PC with proprietary flat-wire motor technology, the mBooster Active Pedal, and the Active Shifter. None of that has been transferable to a console until now, which is the whole point: the PC sim-hardware market has been a knife fight for a decade while the PlayStation side stayed comfortable. Whether MOZA's entry actually reshapes it depends entirely on the two numbers the company hasn't given yet.
