Milestone has shared a detailed look at MotoGP 26 with a new Deep Dive trailer and blog, outlining what’s ahead for the latest entry in the official series. The game includes the full 2026 season lineup with 38 teams and more than 70 riders, featuring new additions like Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Diogo Moreira, along with the return of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
One of the bigger additions is the Dynamic Rider Ratings system, which reflects real-world performance by assigning each rider an overall score based on time attack, race pace, head-to-head ability and reliability. These ratings will update throughout the season based on actual championship results, helping create a more authentic competitive balance across the grid.

The physics and handling model have been reworked to focus more on rider movement and weight transfer, allowing for more precise corrections, smoother braking and improved control in different racing situations. Updated rider animations also help make the experience feel more connected and players can choose between Arcade and Pro experiences depending on how much realism they want.
Career mode gets a notable expansion with the introduction of a 3D paddock that acts as the hub for race weekends. Players will take part in Thursday press conferences where their responses can influence goals, rivalries and team relationships, while a personal manager helps handle negotiations and career decisions in the transfer market. The mode also lets players step into the role of real riders or create their own path, starting in Moto3 and working up through dynamic scenarios.
MotoGP 26 also builds on its Race Off mode with a new UK location, Canterbury Park, joining existing tracks and adding Production Bike events that bring together riders from different classes. Progression is tied to collectible card packs with more than 100 items, including artwork from Ranka Fujiwara. Online play features cross-play, improved matchmaking and full grids of up to 22 players, while split-screen is included for local competition. The game launches on April 29 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X and PC via Steam, Microsoft Store and Epic Games Store.
