Aiming to deliver an experience that perfectly mirrors the emotion of real-life racing, the series continues to add some of the features most frequently requested by the community. Following the introduction of Dynamic Weather and the Flag-to-Flag races last year, MotoGP 24 will get players even closer to the real competition through the addition of the Riders Market and Stewards. 

Marc Márquez's move from the Repsol Honda Team to the Independent Gresini Racing MotoGP Team, riding a Ducati, was a seismic move in MotoGP . From now on such twists and turns can also play out in the official videogame thanks to the new Riders Market, which opens up endless possibilities for riders to move to other teams. That means every season will start with a different roster, and players will not only compete to win races and championships but also to find a new seat or retain their current one. Likes and replies on the fictional Social Network will even fuel rumours about possible rider transfers. 

The new MotoGP Stewards will be responsible for monitoring the race and any timed session during the weekend, penalizing riders and AI alike based on their behavior on the track. From simple Warnings to Long Lap or Time Penalties, as well as Let Pass orders in case of unfair overtaking up to canceled qualifying times, both players and AI will incur penalties if they break the rules. Irresponsible riding will even have greater consequences on rivalries with other riders.

The Riders Market and the Stewards provide players with the most dynamic career mode developed in a MotoGP game, complementing the new design introduced in the previous chapter. 

Most importantly of all, Milestone’s commitment to giving every fan the best playing experience has led to the introduction of a new “Adaptive Difficulty” system. The system dynamically adjusts the difficulty of opponents based on the player's performance, tailoring the game difficulty to each player’s skills. From beginners to pros, MotoGP 24 offers a great gameplay experience to everybody. 

Milestone and Dorna Sports S.L. revealed one of the most requested and long-awaited features by the MotoGP community, as MotoGP 24 career mode marks the introduction of the Riders Market.

Besides enhancing the game's main mode engagement and dynamism, the feature will extend longevity and replayability as players will see roster updates in every in-game season, thus finding new exciting challenges and scenarios to experience every year. The possibilities are endless, as both the AI and players might be proposed to change teams as seasons progress. Just like in real life, previous performances will determine what kind of offer will be received. Failure to achieve the current team's goals could put the seat for next season at risk, forcing players to accept offers from smaller teams. On the contrary, great performances will be rewarded with first-class contracts from top teams. Importantly, players' behavior on and off the track will greatly influence such dynamics. Rivalries with other riders as well as likes and replies on the fictional Social Network will in fact fuel rumors about possible transfers.  

In addition to the Riders Market, MotoGP 24 will continue to deliver the stunning graphics, realistic physics, and extensive customization options that fans have come to expect from the franchise. The introduction of the Riders Market adds the last missing piece, delivering an unprecedented level of depth and authenticity to the virtual racing experience.

AI and physics will also offer substantial improvements. The AI has been refined to replicate the real riders’ approach to racing. Former World Champions will leverage their experience, waiting before striking with the winning overtake. Rookies will be out to prove themselves from the off. In terms of game physics, a new electronic tuning system has been designed to better manage corner entry and exit, improving power delivery to control rear wheel slip and the bike's tendency to wheelie. Another important aspect is tyre management, which has been revised to ensure the performance of all tyre compounds on various tracks while maintaining a distinct feel for each tyre.

The online section of MotoGP 24 will also be enriched with LiveGP* Championships, a new multiplayer mode conceived for the most competitive players. These are seasons composed of a certain number of LiveGPs*; players will be challenged to climb the overall Championship leaderboard by scoring points at each LiveGP* they attend. Cross-play** will also allow fans to hit the track and compete regardless of their platform and console generation, right from day one. Moreover, the 2-player local split-screen is confirmed for PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam versions to allow side-by-side challenges with friends. 

Finally, through four powerful editors for helmets, stickers, racing numbers, and butt patches players will be able to unleash their imagination and share their creations online***, also available cross-platform.

MotoGP 24 comes to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on May 2, 2024.
