EA SPORTS WRC update adds native Moza wheel support for PC and Xbox (2024)

A new EA SPORTS WRC update sees native Moza wheel support added to the PC and Xbox versions of the game.

In a much sought-after move, EA SPORTS and Codemasters have finally added native Moza wheel support for both PC and Xbox versions of EA SPORTS WRC.

Surprisingly, despite Moza’s increasing presence and popularity in the sim racing world, the Chinese brand’s hardware was not officially supported in-game. However, it was still possible to play EA SPORTS WRC using Moza hardware, minus automatically mapped key bindings.
