Polyphony Digital has named high-end hardware manufacturer Moza Racing as the new official peripheral partner for Gran Turismo 7, the developer announced. It is an unexpected team-up that pairs PlayStation's premier racing simulator with a brand whose wheels currently do not work on the PlayStation 5.

The studio confirmed the partnership in an announcement this week, marking a shift in the simulator's hardware landscape.
For virtual racers, the announcement is like buying a smart key fob before you actually own the car. Moza Racing has built a reputation for producing highly regarded direct-drive wheelbases and pedals, but its current lineup is strictly a PC and Xbox affair. Trying to plug a Moza wheel into a PS5 right now yields nothing but a quiet, expensive silence. The partnership strongly suggests that Moza is preparing to bridge that gap with new, PlayStation-compatible hardware, though neither company has officially detailed any upcoming products.
The details
- Official partner: Moza Racing
- Game: Gran Turismo 7
- Current compatibility: PC and Xbox only
- Developer: Polyphony Digital
Why it matters
Gran Turismo is the crown jewel of console racing, and its official partnerships steer where players spend their hardware budgets. Up until now, competitors like Fanatec and Thrustmaster have held a tight grip on the premium PlayStation wheel market. Moza's entry into the ecosystem would introduce much-needed competition to the direct-drive space, giving console racers more options to spend their rent money on simulated force feedback.
