Milestone and MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group have released MotoGP 26, the latest entry in the official MotoGP video game franchise featuring the full 2026 season. The game introduces a rider-based handling system where body shifts and weight transfer directly impact stability, cornering, and braking, delivering more natural control across both Pro and Arcade modes.

Dynamic Rider Ratings now track rider performance using four attributes: time attack, race pace, head-to-head, and reliability. The Career mode gets a major overhaul with a 3D paddock as the central hub, press conferences affecting reputation, and a Personal Manager handling contract negotiations. For the first time, players can take control of real riders from any class and rebuild their careers from Moto3 upward.

The game launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, ROG devices, and PC. Cross-play supports up to 22 players, and a new helmet design contest will see the winning entry worn by an official MotoGP rider during a race weekend.
