While Milestone hasn’t officially announced a new follow-up to its yearly MotoGP series yet, a new report indicates that it is going to be unveiled later this week—on March 5th. According to billbil-kun of Dealabs, the title is also slated for release on Nintendo Switch 2. It is also going to be the first new entry in the franchise to skip PS4 and Xbox One versions, instead, focusing primarily on current-gen consoles. Not all older console players are being left behind, however, as it is also expected to come to Nintendo Switch.
MotoGP 26 is expected to come to PC (priced at €59.99), PS5 (€69.99), Xbox Series X/S (€69.99), Nintendo Switch (€49.99), and the Switch 2 (€49.99). The console versions are also slated to get physical releases, with PC only getting a digital version. We will likely get more details about various editions and potential pre-order incentives alongside the title’s official unveiling, where an April 29th release date is also expected to be confirmed.
Last year’s entry, MotoGP 25, was unveiled in February 2025 before coming out at the end of April. This means that, while MotoGP 26‘s announcement is coming a bit later, its release date will fall in the same general yearly window. Much like its predecessor, MotoGP 26 is expected to bring in riders and tracks from the 2026 season of the sport.
The title will also likely see some expansion in key areas over the previous game, such as more options in Training Sessions, where players could ride for fun instead of focusing on competition. MotoGP 25, for instance, also allowed players to work on improving their skills across different disciplines like Motard, Flat Track and Minibikes.
Whether or not we’ll see changes made to the Arcade Experience remains to be seen. In its previous incarnation, it focused on providing franchise newcomers with an accessible entry point into the world of bike racing by stripping away some of the title’s simulation aspects.
For players that might find the end of April to be too long of a wait to get their hands on a new bike racing title, RIDE 6 was released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S just last month. The title introduced an overhauled career experience that now revolves around RIDE Fest, which is described as a touring festival where players have greater control over what types of events they want to partake in.
For more details about RIDE 6, check out our review, where we gave it a score of 8 out of 10 thanks to its detailed roster, accessible onboarding, and meaningful momentum in progression thanks to the presence of Legendary riders. However, we also found the racing festival framing of the RIDE Fest career mode to be uninspired.
While it might not be available on Nintendo Switch, Milestone had also confirmed before release that RIDE 6 runs at 4K/60 FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and 4K/90 FPS on Xbox Series S.
