Milestone is again bringing the MotoGP championship to your screens with MotoGP 25. The latest entry in this long-running franchise lands on April 30 across multiple platforms. Whether you’re looking to build your rider’s career or want some quick races, this installment delivers notable changes worth checking out.
Release Date and Platforms
MotoGP 25 officially launches on April 30 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The price point is $59.99, regardless of which platform you prefer.
The game marks the franchise’s silver anniversary by upgrading visuals with Unreal Engine 5 technology for more lifelike animations. Sound design also gets a boost through authentic on-site recordings of official MotoGP bikes, a detail that should please those who crave authenticity in racing games.
Modes and Features
MotoGP 25’s Career mode lets you create a custom racer and make strategic choices called Turning Points during the season if you’re craving depth beyond standard races. You’ll develop team relationships as you aim to climb the ranks toward becoming a top contender.
The variety doesn’t stop there, you can jump into quick race modes or try alternative experiences like motard, flat track rides, and minibikes to improve your rider’s fitness level while unlocking new gear and accessories.
For those less familiar with bike racing mechanics or seeking more straightforward entry points, an arcade mode offers an Adaptive Difficulty Mode paired with a Neural Aid System and new tutorials to ease players into the action without steep learning curves.
If competition is what drives you forward, though, ranked races support cross-play across different consoles and PCs, so you can test your skills against racers worldwide.
MotoGP 25 does not offer early access options; only one edition is available for purchase at launch. That said, pre-ordering unlocks some extras:
- Off-Road Helmets Pack
- Iconic Liveries Pack
