Gamescom 2026 is only a few days away, and while the event obviously covers the entire gaming industry, there is already quite a bit happening on the sim racing side. Moza is preparing several major reveals, PXN is bringing a substantial collection of new hardware, and there are still plenty of opportunities for surprises once the doors actually open.

Teasers show a rider sitting on what appears to be a motorcycle-style simulator while playing one of Milestone’s MotoGP titles.

The New Moza and Ford Collaboration
Moza has also started teasing a completely new collaboration with Ford, specifically stating that it is coming to Gamescom 2026. Beyond that, the company has revealed almost nothing, so we currently do not know exactly what kind of hardware is being developed.
A steering wheel seems like the obvious possibility. Ford has plenty of interesting modern and historic machinery to work from, including the Mustang GT3 and GT4, the Mustang road cars, and a huge back catalog of motorsport hardware. A proper Mustang GT3 replica wheel would fit particularly well within Moza’s growing range of officially licensed steering wheels, but for now that is only speculation.
Whatever it turns out to be, Ford represents another major automotive license for Moza. The…
