Moza Enters PS5 Racing with Gran Turismo Partnership

Moza Racing has officially joined the PlayStation ecosystem as an official partner of the Gran Turismo World Series, introducing a sweeping hardware catalog that includes the HMA150 haptic motion rig and the R16 Ultra wheel base, according to the manufacturer’s global product announcements.

Gran Turismo Partnership and Upcoming PlayStation Hardware

Moza Racing secured its status as an official partner of the international Gran Turismo World Series, with the collaboration slated to officially launch on August 15, 2026, during the premiere of Round 2. According to the company, the partnership integrates the Moza brand directly into official championship broadcasts. Alongside this racing integration, Moza confirmed the active development of its first officially licensed PlayStation racing peripherals, which are designed for use with the PlayStation 5 subject to final approval from Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Kazunori Yamauchi, the producer of the Gran Turismo series, noted a long-standing familiarity with the manufacturer’s engineering capabilities. According to Kazunori Yamauchi, his initial exposure to Moza’s technology came through camera stabilization gimbals before monitoring their transition into force feedback steering controllers. “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,” Kazunori Yamauchi stated. He added that he looks forward to seeing how the partnership expands the possibilities for developing optimal steering wheels for the franchise.

HMA150 Haptic Motion System and AI Motion Software

Expanding beyond traditional desktop peripherals, Moza introduced the HMA150 Haptic Motion System, a four-actuator motion rig engineered to replicate physical vehicle forces. According to Moza specifications, the system delivers 150mm of travel, speeds reaching up to 300mm/s, and acceleration exceeding 1G under supported loads to reproduce pitch, roll, and heave dynamics. The setup relies on in-house developed servo motors, control algorithms, and structural engineering.

Management of the HMA150 relies on Moza’s new AI Motion software. According to company details, the platform analyzes in-game visuals and audio in real-time to generate haptic feedback, extending immersion into non-racing genres where native telemetry is unavailable.

R16 Ultra and Updated R5 Pro Ecosystem Upgrades

The company also expanded its direct drive lineup with the R16 Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base. Delivering 16Nm of force feedback torque, the R16 utilizes a flat-wire motor architecture paired with a 21-bit magnetic encoder. Driven by a 600MHz processor and Moza’s NexGen FFB Algorithm 4.0, the unit processes vehicle data with low latency. Moza also integrated a new force feedback interpolation algorithm designed to eliminate graininess, jolts, and stepped sensations by smoothing transitions between adjacent signals, ensuring continuous delivery of subtle road textures and curb vibrations.

At the entry level, Moza revised its popular bundle by upgrading the R5 wheel base to deliver 6Nm of direct drive torque. The updated R5 Pro package ships as a plug-and-play kit that includes the 6Nm base, SRP Lite2 pedals, an ES Lite steering wheel, and a desk clamp.

AI Coach, Farming, and Flight Simulation Expansions

Moza broadened its simulation ecosystem with software and hardware tailored for alternative genres. The newly revealed AI Coach software can actively control compatible hardware during practice sessions to physically demonstrate proper steering and braking techniques to users. For heavy machinery enthusiasts, the Moza Farming Control System incorporates a Hall-effect joystick, a throttle, and a control panel featuring 46 programmable inputs intended for titles like Farming Simulator 25 and Construction Simulator. Meanwhile, the flight simulation tier welcomes the AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base—delivering 4.2Nm of roll torque and 90N of push-pull force—paired with the MFY Pro Yoke Handle, which includes an integrated 4.3-inch touchscreen for displaying aircraft information.
