MotoGP™26 is just around the corner, and we know you can’t wait to start your new adventure in the paddock. That’s why we have prepared a deep dive trailer which delves into all the new features of the latest chapter of the franchise. Find the video below.
In MotoGP™26, the physics have been completely renewed, with innovative, Rider-Based Handling which will allow you to experience the most cohesive gameplay ever. Everything from weight management to rider animations has been finely tuned to provide the most authentic riding experience possible, while still using a single stick configuration on the gamepad.
You will be able to adjust your gameplay style thanks to the Arcade and Pro experience. The first option is perfect if you are less accustomed to racing games, while the second is the pinnacle of simulation, where you will decide every single aspect of your bike, down to the last bolt.
Live the full official 2026 MotoGP™ season, including the new Brazilian GP and rookies Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Diogo Moreira. Each rider now has a rating system based on real-live performances, which will be updated throughout the championship to keep the virtual riders as close to the real ones as possible.
Your MotoGP™ journey starts with the revised career mode. You can choose to start as a rookie or step immediately into the elite, and for the first time, you will be able to play as a real rider. This means that you can decide the future of Francesco Bagnaia, Fabio Quartararo, Jorge Martín and many more by selecting them in the career menu.
This year, Marc Márquez is reigning champion. Do you have what it takes to challenge him? You will be asked to manage not only your life on the track, but also how you behave and manage your career in the paddock. Your manager will be at your side, ready to give you advice and guide you through tough decisions while searching for the perfect contract. In MotoGP™26, the race weekend begins on Thursday with a press conference. Choose your responses wisely, because every answer will shape your reputation.
Training is a fundamental part of a rider’s life. That’s why, alongside Borgo Caselle and Mont Lagard, the new Canterbury Park will offer two new tracks on which you can test your abilities with the Motard, Flat Track and Minibike. But that’s not all – as you may know, riders cannot use their MotoGP™ bike to train with. So, to learn every secret of the official tracks, this year there will be Production Bikes. Each manufacturer will hold brand events on specific championship tracks, and you will be invited to race alongside riders from every category who share the same manufacturer as you.
MotoGP™26 introduces collectible cards for the first time. You can unlock packs by playing the game, with over a hundred cards to discover, featuring riders and tracks. There will also be exclusive artwork by famous Japanese artist Ranka Fujiwara.
The whole style of the game has been updated to make you feel the same thrills you experience on race day, thanks to the renewed TV-style art direction and, most importantly, new audio recordings that contribute to delivering an authentic experience in all categories.
The online modes have been improved, now with a full-size grid for up to 22 players* ready to be filled with the most skilled riders. And with cross-play, it won’t matter which platform you are using. Additionally, the revised matchmaking will allow players to find balanced lobbies for guaranteed fun.
Once again, the editors will allow you to express your creativity and showcase your style on the track. Thanks to the ability to share** your masterpieces, you will become part of a larger global community united by their love for MotoGP™.
