MOZA is bringing its direct-drive racing hardware to PlayStation 5. Announced on 17 September 2026, its first PS5 lineup introduces the R5S Pro Racing Simulator, R16S Ultra Racing Simulator and a standalone R16S Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base, with native Gran Turismo 7 support developed in collaboration with Polyphony Digital.
For PS5 racers planning a dedicated setup, that makes the cockpit worth thinking about now. A wheelbase, pedals and seat work best when their positions stay consistent. Below, we explain the announcement and help you shortlist a SIMGASM sim racing cockpit and seat around the way you want to race.
What has MOZA announced for PS5?
There are three configurations in the announcement, covering a complete wheel-and-pedal package, a premium wheel bundle and a standalone base.
| MOZA product | Announced package | Who it is aimed at |
|---|---|---|
| R5S Pro Racing Simulator | Wheelbase, steering wheel and pedals | Drivers starting a complete MOZA direct-drive setup |
| R16S Ultra Racing Simulator | R16S wheelbase and steering wheel | Experienced racers looking for MOZA's premium PS5 option |
| R16S Ultra Direct Drive Wheel Base | Standalone wheelbase | Drivers choosing their own compatible MOZA steering wheel and other hardware |
The phrase “Racing Simulator” refers to MOZA's hardware package here. The announcement does not list a cockpit or seat as part of either bundle, and it only lists pedals in the R5S Pro package.
Gran Turismo 7 support and the details still to come
MOZA says the new lineup will support Gran Turismo 7 from launch, alongside a growing selection of compatible racing titles. Native support is the central part of this announcement: the hardware is being developed for the console and game, giving PS5 owners an official route into the MOZA ecosystem.
As of 22 September 2026, the announcement leaves pricing, availability and the retail launch date for a later update. Full specifications and a complete compatibility list have not been provided in that announcement. The products are being developed under PlayStation's official licensing programme, with PS5 operation subject to Sony Interactive Entertainment's final product approval.
For an existing MOZA owner, check the exact PS5 model and its supported peripherals before choosing parts. This announcement does not establish PS5 support for an existing PC wheelbase or every MOZA accessory.
Choose a SIMGASM cockpit around your planned setup
The cockpit holds the steering wheel, pedals and seat in a repeatable relationship. That gives you a stable place to steer and brake, and makes it easier to return to a driving position that works for you. Start with your room, your seating preference and the hardware you intend to use.
SIMGASM Hobby: a compact first dedicated rig
The SIMGASM Hobby cockpit in Black is a sensible starting point if the R5S Pro has you considering the move from a desk to a permanent simulator. Its 40 × 40 mm main profiles and 500 × 1270 mm chassis footprint keep the frame compact while giving your wheel and pedals a dedicated mounting structure.
Choose Hobby when space and entry cost are your priorities. Allow additional room around the chassis for the seat, screen and getting in and out.
SIMGASM Club: our starting point for a balanced home setup
For regular GT7 sessions, we would start the shortlist with the SIMGASM Club cockpit in Black. Its 40 × 80 mm main profiles add structural depth over Hobby, while the 500 × 1350 mm chassis footprint remains manageable in a home racing space.
Pair it with the SIMGASM Core Recline Seat if you want an adjustable backrest and a comfortable place to settle in for longer sessions. This is the combination we would explore first for a dedicated console rig with room to develop.
SIMGASM Sport: plan a more demanding build
If the premium R16S Ultra is the direction you are considering, explore the SIMGASM Sport cockpit in Black. Its 40 × 120 mm main profiles, integrated cable passthroughs and motion-ready construction make it a useful step up for an ambitious simulator build. The chassis measures 580 × 1320 mm in width and length.
Sport is the option to consider when you want more structural capacity and a tidier route for cables as the setup develops. Motion hardware is a separate addition, and its usefulness depends on the platform and software you run.
Before choosing the wheel mount: these are cockpit recommendations based on their position in the SIMGASM range. Final fitment of the R5S Pro and R16S Ultra requires the released MOZA mounting specifications. Use the model-level compatibility selector on the cockpit page and confirm the exact wheelbase and pedal mounting arrangement before ordering.
Core Recline or Core Bucket: choose your driving position
Your seat choice should follow how you like to sit. The Core Recline Seat lets you adjust the backrest angle, making it the straightforward choice when comfort adjustment matters. Its black leather-and-suede upholstery also works naturally with a black cockpit and MOZA hardware.
The Core Bucket Racing Seat suits drivers who prefer a fixed backrest angle and pronounced side support. Its folding mechanism is for storage; the backrest stays at a fixed angle when locked for driving. Add the SIMGASM Dual-Locking Seat Slider Set when you want fore-and-aft seat adjustment.
Finish the setup with a well-positioned screen
For a Hobby or Club build using a compatible monitor, the SIMGASM Core Integrated Single Monitor Stand mounts the display directly to the cockpit. It supports VESA 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm patterns and offers height and positioning adjustment. Check your display's mounting pattern, dimensions and weight before selecting a stand.
Set the seat position first, then bring the wheel, pedals and screen into comfortable reach and view. Leave space for cables and for the PS5 to sit in a ventilated position beside the simulator.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the new MOZA PS5 products now?

MOZA lists a wheelbase and steering wheel for that package. Pedals are specifically included in the R5S Pro announcement, so plan the R16S build around the final bundle contents.
Which SIMGASM cockpit should I shortlist?
Start with Hobby for a compact entry build, Club for a balanced dedicated home rig, or Sport for a more ambitious setup. Match the final wheelbase and pedals to the correct mounting configuration before purchase.

The chassis includes the selected wheel-mount option and its listed structural components. Seats, seat sliders and electronics are separate unless the particular bundle or option explicitly includes them. Check the “What is included” section on the product page when building your order.
