MOZA Racing’s first PlayStation-compatible wheel finally has a reveal date. The company confirmed on social media today that the new hardware will be unveiled at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba.
We first learned a PlayStation wheel was in the works back in July, when Polyphony Digital announced MOZA as an official peripheral partner of the Gran Turismo World Series.
Tucked into that press release was confirmation that MOZA was developing a steering wheel controller “in collaboration with Gran Turismo” that would be natively supported in GT7. It was the first time MOZA had ever put its name next to a PlayStation product, but there was no timeline attached beyond a vague promise of “the future”.
That future is now next week.
MOZA’s post keeps things brief. “The wait is almost over,” it reads, followed by “Tokyo Game Show 2026. See you there.”
The attached image shows the front face of a wheel base sitting mostly in shadow, with a PlayStation logo clearly visible. The lighting is deliberately low, but the silhouette and the illuminated light strips along the top edges look a lot like MOZA’s R16 Ultra (affiliate link), the company’s recently updated 16Nm direct drive base. The R16 Ultra uses a flat-wire motor, a 21-bit magnetic encoder, and a pair of RGB strips, and the teaser’s outline appears have a similar compact, squared-off profile.
Of course, a familiar silhouette doesn’t tell us what’s inside. MOZA could be putting an R16 Ultra-class motor into a PlayStation-licensed housing, or it could be reusing the exterior design around a lower-torque motor that’s more appropriate for a console audience (and a console price point).
Force feedback wheels on PlayStation have been a three-company club for years. Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec are the only major manufacturers with Sony’s licensing, and MOZA has spent its entire existence on the PC side of the fence, with a short detour into Xbox territory with the R3 back in 2023.
What makes this one even more interesting is the Gran Turismo connection. Kazunori Yamauchi has told us he wants the series to natively support more steering wheels, and in July he explained that MOZA had been on his radar for a while thanks to its camera gimbals, which rely on the same kind of precise motor control as a direct drive wheel base. A wheel developed alongside Polyphony, rather than just certified after the fact, could mean tighter integration than a typical third-party product.
MOZA hasn’t shared a product name, a price, a torque figure, or whether the base will ship bundled with a rim and pedals the way Fanatec’s GT DD Pro does. There’s also no word on a release date beyond the reveal itself, or whether it will carry official Gran Turismo branding alongside the PlayStation logo.
Tokyo Game Show opens to business and media attendees on Thursday, September 17, with public days running from the 19th through the 21st. Expect MOZA’s announcement to land early in the week, and we’ll have full details as soon as they’re available. In the meantime, the discussion is already underway in the GTPlanet forums.
