'MAVRIX' Is A Mountain Biking Game From Red Bull Athlete Matt Jones, Coming to Early Access This Summer - Screens & Trailer

MAVRIX is an open-world, multiplayer extreme sports Mountain Bike game.

Built by riders, for riders. Huge mountains, features and real-world athletes. Master MAVRIX's dual stick controls to pull huge tricks with your friends or race through the global rankings. Nail challenges and secure sponsorship deals with real world brands. Are you ready?

Designed by Red Bull athlete Matt Jones, MAVRIX is the first mountain biking game created by a MTB pro rider, featuring realistic bike physics, dual-stick controls, and a massive handcrafted open world that delivers a creative, technical, fully sendable ride that feels true to the sport.

MAVRIX delivers an authentic and extreme digital mountain biking experience set in a vast open world inspired by the Welsh mountains, where players launch off cliffs, rip through forest trails, and compete in thrilling 50-player mass start races. Combining realistic handling and precise controls with creative freedom, it lets players style tricks, chase clean landings, or simply send it.

Featuring 100 square kilometres of Downhill race tracks, huge slopestyle lines, technical challenges and multiple bike parks, MAVRIX offers an exciting playground that blends technical skill with pure fun for adventure sports fans! Get ready to race or bring your style and creativity to define your own lines.

When players join MAVRIX, they’re guided through an engaging first-time experience that introduces core controls, gameplay, and trail discovery. The core loop encourages players to find trails and challenges, complete them, earn Moolah, and unlock custom gear. Each trail has its own global leaderboard, with race commentary from Red Bull legend and ex-World Cup winner Rob Warner, the voice featured in the trailer. Completing challenges builds reputation and earns Moolah, the in-game currency used to customise bikes, components, and clothing.

Matt Jones’ real-world riding expertise shapes the physics and control system to authentically mirror true mountain biking. Dual-stick controls and independent braking give players complete freedom to express their style while meeting the sport’s technical demands. The game also features live Red Bull event integration, bringing real-world competitions directly into the gameplay, allowing the community to ride alongside the action as it unfolds.

To further the gameplay experience, MAVRIX features a sponsorship system that mirrors a real MTB career. As players complete challenges and grow their reputation, new contracts become available, offering better deals and exclusive items. Public reputation levels also add another social and competitive element to the game. A POV camera mode, toggled with a single button, provides a heightened sense of speed and control, along with multiplayer join codes that let friends ride together on the same server.

The trailer gives fans their first look at MAVRIX in action, showcasing high-speed descents, massive freeride lines, trick combinations, 50-player mass start races, and a glimpse of live Red Bull event integration, all set in a vast open world inspired by the glorious Welsh mountains.

“I’m stoked to finally give fans a glimpse of MAVRIX, a game that truly captures the heart and soul of mountain biking,” says Matt Jones, MAVRIX creator and professional mountain biker. “It’s been a lot of hard work to build a game that truly reflects the spirit of mountain biking, and seeing it come to life is incredibly rewarding. I’m really looking forward to players diving in, mastering the controls, and pushing their limits. And this is just the beginning.”

MAVRIX will be launching into Early Access this summer on SteamEpic Games Store and will remain so for 3-6 months, during which there will be frequent updates to the game to add awesome content and gameplay dynamics.

“For Early Access, there's a huge world to discover, with multiple chair lifts, trails, jump lines and bike parks. Share the world with other riders, complete technical challenges, compete against other riders and collect sponsorship contracts to rise through the ranks. MAVRIX has a solid amount of polished gameplay which sets the foundation for us and our community to build from.”

“As players explore MAVRIX, we'll understand which elements they love and what can be improved. With this feedback, we can continue to develop the game in the interest of our core community. This could include tweaking game-physics or adding more content such as Downhill tracks, Slopestyle lines, Freeride or more Athletes and Brands.”
