Motorcycling video games hold an important place in the lives of many fans. The world of motorcycles has its own space within the virtual version of our lives. There are motorcycle games in almost every theme we can imagine. Many are direct replicas of the motorsport racing world and its competitive environment.
We can find games that simulate high-speed racing, even officially sponsored by a global championship organizer such as MotoGP. In motocross, trial, and off-road, there are titles inspired by the preferences of legendary riders — not to mention those chaotic and destructive open-world games where a bike can be chosen as the main vehicle.
Most of us simply enjoy these games without giving much thought to the companies and professionals behind their development. One of the biggest — and perhaps the most prolific — companies in the world of motorcycling video games is Milestone.
This Italian company, founded in 1996 and based in Milan, has an extensive and varied catalog for consoles and PC, covering almost every competitive motorcycling discipline. Throughout its history, it has collaborated with major publishers such as Atari, Black Bean Games, Capcom, Electronic Arts, and Virgin.
From its current catalog, we can highlight the following motorcycling video games:
MXGP 2019
This is the official video game of the Motocross World Championship, the latest edition of a classic for players. You can enjoy every circuit in the world series — from Argentina to Shanghai — and even build your own official career.
In the new Playground mode, you can compete on two MX tracks, one SX track, and one Enduro track while experimenting with different weather conditions and day/night settings. There are over 10,000 customization options for both the bike and the rider.
Available on: PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Windows PC®/STEAM. More details here.
MotoGP 19
If the previous title was the official Motocross World Championship game, this one is the official game of the MotoGP World Championship. All tracks, motorcycles, and riders from the series are recreated here, and you can also include more than 50 legendary riders and 35 official bikes from both the 500cc and MotoGP eras.
This game integrates a new artificial intelligence technology known as A.N.N.A (Artificial Neural Network Agent), delivering greater realism and more precise rider behavior.
Available on: PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Windows PC®/STEAM, and Nintendo Switch™. More details here.
Monster Energy Supercross 2
The third official championship title could not be missing: Supercross — one of the most spectacular and visually exciting disciplines in the motorcycle world.
This game evolved significantly compared to its previous installment. The realism of the environments and the immersive experience of training and racing like a professional rider make it especially appealing.
It includes 80 official riders and 17 tracks from the world circuit. With more than 3,000 customization options for bikes and equipment, plus the ability to edit tracks, it is a major achievement in realism and gameplay.
Available on: PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Windows PC®/STEAM, and Nintendo Switch™. More details here.
Ride 3
Ride 3 is one of the best motorcycling video games for those who simply want to go out and ride. Dream landscapes, legendary roads, and all the adrenaline you can generate on the most powerful street bikes.
You can customize your motorcycle extensively and adapt it to your riding style. And if you want more than scenic routes, you can take on speed circuits, supermoto races, drag races, and even the rebellious side of urban racing.
Available on: PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Windows PC®/STEAM.
These are only a few of the hundreds of motorcycle games available on the market — a great way to keep enjoying motorcycles through the screen.
