Researched, not tested. We haven't tested these wheels or fixes. Everything here comes from Forza's and the manufacturers' own support pages, which we link throughout and last checked on 31 October 2026.

Quick answer (last checked 31 Oct 2026 against Forza's official wheel list):

MOZA wheel not working? Start with the fixes below.

Fix: MOZA wheel not detected, steering won't bind, or no force feedback in FH6 (PC)

Forza lists every MOZA base as only partly supported on PC, so some features may not work yet. Still, common faults (no force feedback, an axis that won't bind, missing pedals) are often set-up problems with documented fixes. Work through these in order.

Step 1: Update Pit House and your firmware first

Forza calls this "CRITICAL": a wheel that works with older games, "even Forza games", may not work with a new one until its drivers and firmware are updated. Install MOZA Pit House from MOZA's Download Centre, then update the base, the rim and any pedals or shifters it finds.

Step 2: Unplug everything except the wheelbase, and skip the USB hub

Forza Horizon 6 sends force feedback only to the device it registers as "Device 1". If your pedals, shifter, handbrake or a controller grabs that slot, the wheel can go limp.

  1. Turn off or unplug every other control device.
  2. Plug the wheelbase directly into a dedicated USB 3.0 port, not a hub.
  3. Don't keep unplugging and re-plugging the wheel into USB 3.0 ports. Forza says some wheels generate an incorrect USB ID (VID/PID) when this happens, and the game needs the correct one to recognise the wheel.

Step 3: Check the wheel is Device 1

In game, go to Advanced Controls > Wheel > Custom Profile and test the Steering input. This is Forza's own check: if steering responds, the base is registered correctly.

Step 4: Steering too heavy to turn while binding?

MOZA's Chinese-language FH6 guide (12 May 2026) says to open Pit House, go to the base settings, lower Game Spring to 50%, then bind steering again (MOZA FH6 guide, Chinese edition). It's a binding fix, not a force feedback setting, and MOZA's English guide leaves it out. Forum posts suggesting 0% are a user workaround, not MOZA's advice.

For the in-game Center Spring Scale, Forza says "leave it alone or turn it down" (see Settings).

Step 5: Try MOZA's experimental Horizon compatibility setting

Pit House has an experimental setting called "Base Forza Horizon compatibility". MOZA documents it in its Forza Horizon 4/5 force-feedback guide, not as a fix for FH6. Some FH6 players report enabling it. Try it only if steps 1–4 haven't worked, and switch it off if it makes things worse.

Step 6: Add your other devices back one at a time

Reconnect pedals, shifter and handbrake, binding each before adding the next. If they plug into separate USB ports rather than into the wheelbase, Forza says you'll need to create a custom wheel profile. The game won't map them automatically, and may recognise only one device, for example the wheel but not the pedals.

What we're watching for:

What about MOZA wheels on Xbox? MOZA sells the ESX wheel, which it lists for "PC & Xbox". MOZA says the ESX can be paired with a compatible MOZA wheelbase to use on Xbox, and that "Xbox game compatibility and features may vary by title" (MOZA ESX). For FH6, though, Forza's list has no Xbox entry for the R5, R9, R12, R16 or R21. Only the R3 is listed, as partial, so we can't say an R5 or R9 with an ESX works in FH6 on Xbox.

The short answer by platform

Xbox Series X|S

Forza's list gives full Xbox support to these wheels:

These are listed as partial on Xbox:

The T98 Ferrari 296 GTB and the T-GT II have no Xbox entry.

Forza also says Xbox players should connect their wheel to a PC or laptop to update its drivers and firmware.

PC (Steam / Xbox app)

Every wheel above works on PC with the same full or partial status, except the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider, which is listed for Xbox only. So every Nacon and Turtle Beach wheel is partial on PC too. PC-only entries:

Every MOZA base is partial. For G29 and G920 owners, Forza says you must install the latest Logitech G HUB, or "the wheel will not function as intended".

PS5

Forza Horizon 6 isn't playable on PS5 yet. On the UK PlayStation Store it's a pre-order for 26 January 2027, with Premium Edition early access from 21 January. Forza's PS5 FAQ lists UK prices of £59.99 (Standard), £89.99 (Deluxe) and £109.99 (Premium) (Forza PS5 FAQ, 8 Oct 2026). Forza's wheel list covers only Xbox and PC, and no PS5 wheel support has been announced. We'll update this page when it is.

How to read Forza's official list

This is a summary. Read the full, current version, because Forza updates it after patches.

Fix: any wheel with no force feedback

The Forza advice behind the MOZA steps applies to every brand: Device 1, a direct USB 3.0 port (no hub), no repeated re-plugging, the Custom Profile steering test, and a custom profile for separately connected pedals or shifters. Also install your brand's latest drivers and firmware: Logitech G HUB, Thrustmaster's drivers, or Fanatec's drivers plus a manual firmware update.

Which wheel to buy for Forza Horizon 6 (UK)

Xbox, entry level

The G923 and T248 both have full support. Buy the Xbox/PC version. MOZA's R3 is only partial in FH6 today.

Xbox, stepping up

The RS50, G PRO and TS-XW are all fully supported. Choosing between Logitech and MOZA? Read Logitech RS50 vs MOZA R5. In FH6 the R5 has no Xbox entry.

PC only

For FH6 alone, pick a wheel with full support (no asterisk). Want a MOZA for other sims? Its FH6 support is partial for now; see the tracker above.

Already own MOZA kit? Buy MOZA accessories direct (View at MOZA UK), or through Overclockers UK.

Planning for PS5

There's no FH6 PS5 wheel list yet, so buying now is a gamble. If you do, pick a PlayStation-licensed wheel and check back after launch. See our best wheel for Gran Turismo 7 guide for PlayStation wheels.

Settings: Forza's advice and the makers' starting settings

Forza first. Start from default settings. Forza says the cockpit hands won't turn the wheel past 540° either way, and that "this does not represent the actual in-game steering wheel rotation". So 540° is an animation limit, not a setting. On Center Spring Scale, Forza says "leave it alone or turn it down" (Advanced Wheel Tuning, 14 May 2026). Update drivers and firmware first, on Xbox too.

Makers' starting settings. Each set is the maker's own, for its own wheels. Don't mix them.

FAQ

Which racing wheels work with Forza Horizon 6? Forza's official list (support.forza.net, last checked 31 October 2026) gives full support on Xbox Series X|S and PC to the Logitech G PRO, RS50, G923 and G920, and the Thrustmaster T248, TS-XW, TMX and T150 RS. The Logitech G29 is fully supported on PC only. The Thrustmaster T598, T128 and T98 Ferrari 296 GTS have partial support on Xbox and PC, and the T98 Ferrari 296 GTB and T-GT II are partial on PC only. Every Nacon and Turtle Beach wheel is partial. Fanatec is listed by tested components such as the CSL DD, GT DD Pro and Podium bases. Every MOZA base is only partly supported on PC, and the R3 is the only MOZA with an Xbox entry. "Partial" can mean force feedback works but button mappings don't.

Why does my MOZA wheel have no force feedback in Forza Horizon 6? Forza Horizon 6 sends force feedback only to the device it registers as "Device 1". If your pedals, shifter or another controller takes that slot, the wheel goes limp. Unplug everything except the MOZA base and plug it straight into a USB 3.0 port on your PC, not a hub. Then check steering under Advanced Controls > Wheel > Custom Profile. If the wheel is too heavy to turn while binding, MOZA's Chinese-language FH6 guide says to lower Game Spring to 50% in Pit House. Reconnect your other devices one at a time, and create a custom profile if they use separate USB ports.

Does Forza Horizon 6 support racing wheels on PS5? Not yet: the game isn't out on PS5. It's a UK pre-order for 26 January 2027, with Premium Edition early access from 21 January. As of 31 October 2026, Forza's published wheel list covers only Xbox and PC, and no PS5 wheel support has been announced. If you buy a wheel now, choose a PlayStation-licensed version: Forza warns Xbox versions aren't guaranteed to work on PlayStation.

Does a MOZA R5 work with Forza Horizon 6 on Xbox? Not according to Forza's list as of 31 October 2026. The R5, R9, R12, R16 and R21 have no Xbox entry for FH6, and only the R3 is listed, as partial. MOZA says its ESX wheel can make a MOZA base work on Xbox, but that compatibility varies by game, and FH6 isn't on MOZA's Xbox games list.

Do I need to update my wheel on Xbox? Yes. Forza says Xbox Series X|S players should connect the wheel to a PC or laptop and install the latest drivers and firmware from the manufacturer before playing.
