Milestone is pleased to unveil RIDE 6’s all-new career mode, presented through a dynamic trailer that immerses players in the passion, freedom, and fellowship of a travelling motorcycle festival called RIDE Fest. The game will land on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on February 12, 2026, with Early Access available from February 9, 2026.
The RIDE Fest replaces the traditional championship format with a more open approach, offering virtual bikers unparalleled freedom through a chapter-based, horizontal progression system. Fans can choose which events to tackle, from single races and endurance challenges to championships and time attacks, all organized into themed areas based on criteria such as bike category, manufacturer, circuit type, weather conditions, or legendary champions.
The latter is one of the biggest novelties in RIDE 6, as the game will feature 10 real-world motorcycle legends. Acting as the final bosses of dedicated chapters, icons like Troy Bayliss, Casey Stoner, and James Toseland will put players’ skills to the test in their own specialties. For instance, Niccolò Canepa, Peter Hickman, and Ian Hutchinson will challenge endurance and precision, while Tyler O’Hara brings his unmatched experience on Baggers to the track, turning every lap into a display of power and control. Again, street legend Guy Martin will push contenders to the limit on road races, while Thomas Chareyre and Skyler Howes embody the raw spirit of Motard and Off-Road racing. Facing these legends unlocks exclusive rewards, including their signature bikes and equipment, but first, riders will need to build their reputation within the festival by earning enough Fame Points throughout their career. Building up Fame Points will also be the key to unlocking new events, gradually expanding the challenges across every chapter.
The RIDE Fest paddock, featured in the trailer, serves as the main hub, an area where players can manage all game-related activities. Here, they can relax with the other riders, upgrade their bikes with the help of their mechanic crew, visit the shop, and customize their look using the bike, helmet, and racing suit editors. Accompanying riders along the way is the official Festival DJ, whose music will set the vibe for the entire experience, introducing each chapter through dedicated cutscenes.
Designed as a celebration of riding itself, the RIDE Fest will bring fans into a global community of bikers, racing across some of the world’s most iconic locations on both real and fictional tracks. Notably, RIDE 6 introduces Maxi Enduro and Bagger categories, along with off-road circuits, bringing new dimensions to the racing experience.
Importantly, to master all the variety RIDE 6 has in store, the Milan-based studio has introduced a new dual-physics system that gives players the opportunity to choose between Pro and Arcade experience, tailoring the gameplay to everyone’s preferred level of realism or fun, while always preserving a solid simulation core.
RIDE 6 launches February 12, 2026, on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Early Access available from February 9, 2026.
