Gamescom 2025 has just closed its doors, and there were plenty of announcements. For anything to do with video games, it could be interesting in terms of releases. But the most important for us are the sim-racing announcements, and the 2025 edition was full of surprises.

Moza Racing, the Chinese manufacturer of sim-racing peripherals, is active in various segments, including entry-, mid- and high-end, with a comprehensive catalog.

For Gamescom 2025, Moza has prepared a gourmet menu, which we’ll be sampling in the following pages.

Moza Racing announcements at Gamescom 2025

Moza has made a habit of announcing new products at conferences such as Gamescom. And for 2025, there’s no changing a winning team, and the announcements revolved mainly around 3 products: 2 Direct Drive bases and a steering wheel developed in partnership with Porsche.

The Moza R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra True Torque

Moza’s catalog includes several bases, including the R21. But the brand thought it would be interesting to update its top-of-the-range base, and offer an even more powerful one.

These are the R21 Ultra and the R25 Ultra True Torque. The former is a revised version of the R21, with an all-new electric motor that still develops 21 nm of torque, but is backed up by a 21-bit magnetic encoder that provides 2 million points of resolution. This new-generation motor promises to eliminate the parasitic jerking that can be felt when driving, which is detrimental to the driving experience.

For the R25, this base develops 25 nm of torque, and benefits from True Torque technology, which is capable of accurately reading torque using a closed feedback loop. Coupled with True Torque technology, this base delivers up to 10 nm of torque per millisecond.

Now for the price. The R21 Ultra will retail for €800, while the R25 will cost €1,000. I think this is a wise investment, especially in view of the competition Moza is targeting.

The Porsche Sim Racing Steering Wheel

This new wheel is the fruit of a partnership between Moza and Porsche to give us an officially licensed 911 GT3 RS wheel. The result is an entirely round wheel with a carbon fiber structure and a hub at the rear housing all the controls, including a small 2.99″ screen.

Moza has provided us with a total of 31 controls, including RGB buttons, switches and encoders. Also on the rear of this Porsche are 4 or 6 magnetic, forged carbon-fiber paddles. Basically, you only get 4, but Moza allows you to upgrade this steering wheel with 6 paddles in all for the most demanding. That’s an excellent point for racers, as some prefer to have a wheel that can be easily adapted to different rider needs.

Moza Racing’s future partnerships

Let’s talk about Moza’s partnership plans. Nothing’s official yet, but I think it’s a good thing. So, continuing its drive to establish itself in sim-racing as the discipline’s must-have, Moza plans to collaborate with Mercedes-AMG, just as the brand has already done with Porsche and Lamborghini, but also with MotoGP.

For Mercedes, I’m all for it, as it could bring us AMG One steering wheels on our sim-racing setups. But for MotoGP, I don’t see how this partnership could work, given that Moza is active in the car and truck segment of sim-racing. It’s possible that the manufacturer would like to offer a completely new range in its catalog for motorcycle simulation. This could be a good thing, and only time will tell.
