Feb 8, 2026For those looking for something akin to Gran Turismo or Forza but with motorcycles, RIDE 6 is the closest thing you're going to get. A plethora of bikes, tracks and a deep Career Mode will have players engaged in a single-player experience that doesn't force a grind. Bikes are fully upgradeable with licensed parts that provide different performance increases. The racing is fun with an AI that's uniquely unpredictable, but enjoyable at times. The Bridgestone Racing School will get you ready for the in-game and real-world riding. RIDE 6 suffers in the technical areas with inconsistent visuals and bike sounds, along with a good bit of random, yet quick loading times. With more content coming in the future, this is the game that squids and twisty riders have been waiting for.

Feb 17, 2026Ride 6 offers the series' most accessible and varied motorcycle experience, with diverse disciplines and circuits, making Ride Fest a compelling single-player mode.

Feb 10, 2026RIDE 6 is the motorcycling series at its most complete, where worthwhile onboarding, progression with momentum, and an overall passion for two-wheel machinery outshines uneven presentation and a festival setting which misses the mark.
-

Feb 9, 2026RIDE 6 is not a game that tries to impress through spectacle or radical reinvention. It speaks softly, but with confidence and clarity.

Feb 8, 2026Ride 6 is a game that works. It offers countless hours of fun on the track, as well as a wide range of content for players. Technically solid and featuring a satisfying riding system, enhanced by a new, more accessible Arcade mode, Ride 6 mainly focuses on continuity with the past, missing the opportunity to introduce some structural innovations. The festival concept could have been better utilized, as well as the inclusion of many world-famous riders, without fully capitalizing on their potential. Some minor flaws remain, but Ride 6 still manages to thrill motorcycle enthusiasts and bring to our consoles bikes that we could often only dream of. Once again, Milestone delivers a solid title, and if motorcycles are your passion, you definitely shouldn’t miss it!

Feb 8, 2026RIDE 6 is still the yardstick for motorbike racing simulation. This new entry takes all of the aspects that defined the previous title, but fleshes it out with an improved career with branching paths and challenges. Not only that, it features additional options that will make it easier for newcomers to get to grips with a game of this nature, such as the new ‘arcade’ style of play. Coupled with an improved range of rides and tonnes of tracks, for fans of RIDE 5, it definitely makes sense to move on to RIDE 6.

Feb 8, 2026Ride 6 delivers a solid evolution of Milestone’s motorcycle series, with improved visuals, flexible handling options, and a more engaging career structure.

Apr 7, 2026Milestone is unrivaled when it comes to bringing the world of two wheels to video games, and although there's still a way to go to reach excellence and there's hardly any competition, Ride 6 will be a go-to game for many months to come.
-
Mar 10, 2026RIDE 6 builds on the strong foundation of the series, enriching its content with an impressive roster of motorcycles from many different disciplines. The newly introduced dirt bikes are its weakest addition and their presentation still needs improvement. Nevertheless, its rich career mode and well-designed driving model will keep aficionados busy for a long time.
-
Feb 18, 2026RIDE 6 is a sim-cade love letter to motorcycles that, closer than anything since Tourist Trophy, delivers a level of depth and seriousness reminiscent of Gran Turismo. With over 300 bikes, a varied and demanding career mode, and flexible handling options, it offers a rich riding experience - despite minor flaws such as inconsistent AI, weaker character models, and a festival-style presentation that decorates the menus more than the racing itself.
-
Feb 9, 2026Plenty of content and fun gameplay make RIDE 6 a solid racer, but the career mode falls short of expectations.
