'MXGP 26' Is A New Beginning For The MGXP Franchise, Comes To PS5, Xbox Series X|S And PC In October - Screens & Trailer

MXGP 26 brings a meaningful visual and physics overhaul to the game through a brand new game engine, new content, improved game modes, and more.

Dominate the track, feel every impact, every rut, every victory. The most intense and realistic motocross experience is finally available. Experience the entire 2026 championship, with its official tracks and riders. Play as your favorite riders and race on all 20 official tracks of the season in the MXGP and MX2 categories. Every corner, every jump, and every section of track has been recreated with unparalleled fidelity to transport you to the heart of the official season.

Thanks to the transition to Unreal Engine 5, MXGP 26 achieves a historic visual milestone. The trailer showcases this striking photorealism through wide environmental shots, ultra-detailed mud textures under the rain, and precise mechanical close-ups (suspension, exhausts).

Immersion is taken to the next level, notably through a gripping first-person helmet view, fully rewritten motorcycle physics, and completely reworked rider animations. The rider reacts dynamically to the track's terrain, adopting realistic body movements during jumps, flat or banked turns, and while navigating ruts. Furthermore, the bike and gear progressively get dirty throughout the race, depending on the weather and soil conditions (dirt, sand, mud).

The terrain in MXGP 26 is now alive. Dynamic deformation technology alters the track as riders pass through. As shown repeatedly in the trailer, the continuous passage of bikes digs deep, persistent ruts lap after lap, forcing players to constantly adapt their racing lines. Within just a few laps, the track is completely transformed from the start of the race!

Whether competing in intense online races (up to 10 players), engaging in Grand Prix, Championship, and Time Attack modes, or freely exploring the vast training grounds of The CompoundMXGP 26 stands out as the ultimate motocross experience.


The trailer offers a glimpse into the major technological and gameplay innovations of this new installment.

The trailer highlights a preview of the game's rich official content and customization options:

  • Iconic Tracks: Including Bariloche in Argentina (volcanic soil), Riola Sardo in Sardinia (sand), Pietramurata in Italy (compact dirt), and Loket in the Czech Republic (hard-pack dirt).
  • Elite Riders: Across both MXGP and MX2 categories, players will find stars of the sport such as Romain Febvre, Maxime Renaux, Kay de Wolf, and Calvin Vlaanderen.
  • Full Customization: A comprehensive editor allows players to design their rider and customize official machines from championship manufacturers(Kawasaki, Husqvarna, Yamaha, KTM, Honda…) with gear from leading brands (Fox Racing, Alpinestars, Scott, Airoh, etc.).

 MXGP 26 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) in October 2026.
