PXN Gamescom 2026: Racing & Flight Sim
Quick summary· AI-generated
PXN debuted two new direct-drive bases—the S16 (16Nm) and S23 (23Nm)—both featuring dual-core processing, 24-bit magnetic encoders, real torque sensors, and custom tuning via SimRacing software. The company also introduced two Formula wheels: the flagship W FC with carbon-fiber construction, CNC quick-release, Hall-effect paddles, and 4.3-inch touchscreen; and the more accessible W FS at 290mm with aluminum-alloy construction, similar touchscreen, and extensive programmable controls. A pink colorway of the existing GT ONE wheel was also on display. No pricing has been confirmed for the new bases or wheels.
Excerpt from Inside Sim Racing
Can one company credibly show up to PXN Gamescom 2026 with a flagship direct drive base, three formula wheels spanning three different price points, and an entire flight sim ecosystem, all on the same day? PXN just tried, and the lineup is big enough that it needs two sections to cover properly.
You’ll find all of it at Hall 10.1, Booth C-041, a separate booth from MOZA’s setup across the hall. We weren’t there ourselves, this is based on floor footage from a contact at the show, but the specs below come straight from PXN’s own materials.
PXN Gamescom 2026 Racing: A Direct Drive Base and Three Wheels Deep
The headline here is PXN’s new S-Series direct drive bases, and they’re a serious jump for the brand.
The S16 delivers 16Nm of constant torque. The S23 pushes that to 23Nm. Both are making their Gamescom debut, and both share the same core tech:
Dual-core processing for millisecond-level force feedback response
24-bit magnetic encoder
A real torque sensor, not an estimated output
Custom tuning through PXN SimRacing software (torque, force feedback, LEDs)
Intelligent temperature control for long sessions
The S16, one of two new direct drive bases PXN debuted at Gamescom 2026. At the booth, for example, the S16 is running in a full setup paired with PXN’s GT ONE wheel and Vector X load cell pedals. No pricing yet on either base.
Two New Formula Wheels
On the wheel side, PXN brought two new Formula designs. The W FC is the flagship. It has a genuine carbon-fiber faceplate and rear cover, a CNC-anodized quick-release, and adjustable Hall-effect shift paddles. You also get a self-centering toggle switch, 12-position thumb encoders, and a 4.3-inch touchscreen customizable through PXN SimRacing and SimHub.
The W FC, PXN’s flagship Formula wheel. The W FS is the more accessible option at 290mm. It’s built from CNC aluminum-alloy with a carbon-fiber-textured front panel and the same 4.3-inch touchscreen. You also get 12 programmable buttons, four carbon-fiber Hall-effect paddles plus two micro-switch paddles, multi-mode knobs, seven-way funky switches, 15 adjustable rev LEDs, and six flag indicator LEDs. Neither wheel has a confirmed price yet.
The W FS, PXN’s more accessible Formula wheel at 290mm. You’ll also spot a hot pink wheel floating around Gamescom photos from the booth. Worth knowing upfront: that’s not a new model, it’s a colorway of the existing GT ONE wheel, the same one we already put through a full review at $199. If the pink catches…
