Blurring the line between real and virtual racing, Dynamic Rider Ratings bring real-world performances directly onto the in-game grid. For the first time, players can explore each rider’s strengths and weaknesses through an overall rating built on four key attributes: time attack, race pace, head-to-head, and reliability. Constantly updated following real championship results, the system enhances immersion with a more authentic representation of the competitive balance on the grid.

From a physics standpoint, MotoGP™26 redefines the way players interact with the bike. A reworked rider-based handling model now puts the management of the rider’s body and weight transfer at the heart of the gameplay, enabling more precise corrections, smoother braking, and finer control over every movement. This new paradigm will be supported by more natural rider animations, enhancing the sense of connection between player and machine while making the handling more lifelike. Both newcomers and seasoned players can experience this evolution by choosing between the confirmed Arcade and Pro Experiences, which continue to reflect the franchise’s double commitment to accessibility and depth.

Acting as the central hub of race weekends, a new 3D paddock further immerses players in the life of a professional rider. From here, fans can shape their own MotoGP™ journey through two new features that add a strategic management layer to the career mode: Thursday press conferences and a personal manager. Each weekend now begins in front of the media, with players answering journalists’ questions and expressing their stance. Whether setting short- or long-term goals, challenging rivals, or demanding more from their engineers, every statement will carry consequences. In parallel, the Personal Manager will play a key role in shaping career development by managing negotiations, facilitating interactions with teams and manufacturers, and helping players make the right move in the Transfer Market. This will be crucial both for those building their careers with custom riders and those eager to rewrite history. Indeed, for the first time, MotoGP™26 allows fans to step into the boots of a real MotoGP™ hero and rewrite their legacy, starting as a Moto3™ rookie and fighting their way to the top through dynamic what-if scenarios.

Offering a break from the intensity of championship races, MotoGP™26 expands its Race Off mode with the addition of Canterbury Park, a new UK location joining Borgo Caselle and Mont Lagard, alongside new Production Bikes events. These single-brand competitions bring together riders across Moto3™, Moto2™, and MotoGP™  categories, providing additional opportunities to train on 1000cc road bikes and further expanding the range of disciplines alongside Motard, Flat Track, and Minibikes.

Importantly, newly introduced collectable card packs will reward progression both inside and outside the career mode. By completing events, it will be possible to unlock over 100 cards of varying rarity featuring riders and tracks, including exclusive artworks by the renowned Japanese artist Ranka Fujiwara.

Cross-play*, improved matchmaking, and full-size grids* of up to 22 players will enhance the online experience, while split-screen is confirmed to deliver thrilling offline challenges. Finally, MotoGP™26 will unleash players’ creativity with powerful editors, allowing them to customize helmets, numbers, and liveries, and share** their creations with the community.

Launching on April 29, 2026, MotoGP™26 will be available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™2, Nintendo Switch™, ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PC via Steam, Microsoft and Epic Games Store.
