Does the MOZA R5 Bundle Work on PS5 or Xbox? Here’s What You Need to Know
|
The MOZA R5 Bundle is one of the most popular direct drive wheelbases we stock at Gamer Gear Direct — and one of the most searched for in combination with PS5 and Xbox. If you’ve found yourself typing “MOZA R5 PS5” or “MOZA R5 Xbox” into Google, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we get in our Dandenong South showroom too. So let’s answer it clearly upfront, and then point you in the right direction.
The Short Answer
The MOZA R5 Bundle is PC only. It does not natively support PS5, PS4, or Xbox out of the box. If you’re a console sim racer, the R5 as a standard bundle won’t work with your console without additional hardware.
That said, there are options within the MOZA ecosystem for Xbox sim racers — and if you’re on PS5, the Logitech Racing Series has you covered completely. Here’s the full picture.
MOZA R5 and PS5: The Official Answer
MOZA Racing products do not support PS4 or PS5. There is no official MOZA wheelbase — including the R5 — that natively connects to PlayStation. If PS5 is your primary platform, you need a wheel built with PlayStation compatibility from the ground up.
For PS5 sim racers, we point customers to the Logitech ecosystem. The Logitech RS50 and Logitech G PRO Wheel both support PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC natively — no adapters, no workarounds, just plug in and race.
MOZA R5 and Xbox: It’s More Complicated
Xbox is a different story. The Xbox licence in MOZA’s ecosystem is built into the steering wheel, not the wheelbase. This means with the right wheel, MOZA wheelbases — including the R5 — can be used on Xbox.
The key is the MOZA ESX Steering Wheel. The ESX carries the Xbox licence chip, which allows the Xbox to recognise your MOZA setup as officially compatible. Pair an R5 wheelbase with the ESX wheel and you have a proper Xbox direct drive setup.
The Easiest MOZA Option for Xbox: The R3 Bundle
If you want the simplest, most straightforward Xbox-compatible MOZA setup, the MOZA R3 Racing Wheel and Pedals Bundle for Xbox & PC is the answer. It is officially licensed for Xbox Series X/S and also works with PC.
The R3 is MOZA’s entry-level direct drive wheelbase at 3.9Nm — a step below the R5 in torque but a genuine direct drive experience. For Xbox sim racers who want to get into MOZA without sourcing a separate wheel, it’s the clean, officially supported option.

What We Recommend at GGD
If you’re on PS5
The MOZA R5 isn’t the right product for you — but your options are excellent. The Logitech RS50 is our go-to recommendation for PS5 sim racers making the jump to direct drive. It delivers 8Nm of direct drive torque with TRUEFORCE haptics, natively supports PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC, and is one of the best value direct drive wheelbases in Australia. For a similar budget to the R5, the RS50 is simply the smarter call on PS5.
We also offer a complete PlayStation Racing Simulator Package that bundles the right gear for PS5 sim racers into one ready-to-go setup.
If you’re on Xbox
The MOZA R3 Xbox Bundle is the simplest entry into MOZA on console. If you want more torque and you’re willing to source the ESX wheel separately, the R5 + ESX combination gives you a more powerful Xbox direct drive setup.
If you’re on PC
The MOZA R5 Bundle is one of the best entry-level direct drive values available in Australia. Everything you need in one box, easy setup with Pit House, and a genuine direct drive experience from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MOZA R5 work on PS5?
No — the MOZA R5 Bundle is PC only and does not support PS5 or PS4. For PS5 direct drive, the Logitech RS50 and Logitech G PRO Wheel are the right options and are available at Gamer Gear Direct with full Australian warranty.
Does the MOZA R5 work on Xbox?
Not out of the box. The R5 Bundle alone does not support Xbox. Adding the MOZA ESX Steering Wheel — which carries an Xbox licence — makes the R5 wheelbase Xbox compatible. Alternatively, the MOZA R3 Xbox Bundle is officially licensed for Xbox and PC without any additional purchases.
What is the best MOZA wheel for Xbox?
The MOZA R3 Xbox Bundle is the simplest Xbox-compatible MOZA option. For more torque on Xbox, the R5 or R9 paired with the MOZA ESX Steering Wheel delivers a more powerful setup.
What is the best direct drive wheel for PS5 in Australia?
The Logitech RS50 is our recommendation for PS5 sim racers entering direct drive. For the absolute best PS5 direct drive experience, the Logitech G PRO Wheel steps up to 11Nm. Both are available at Gamer Gear Direct with local warranty and support.
Can I use the MOZA R5 on PS5 with an adapter?
Third-party adapters exist but are not officially supported by MOZA or PlayStation. The experience is inconsistent and the hardware is not warranted for console use. A native PS5-compatible wheel like the RS50 is a much cleaner solution.
