This year’s official MotoGP game, once again by Milestone, will see a revised single-player career mode and a new online championship option.

Following last year’s release, which finally implemented dynamic weather and flag-to-flag races, this season’s MotoGP 24 game will add a further player-requested feature – a rider market within the career mode.
This is something that has not yet appeared within a contemporary MotoGP title, with licencing restrictions thought to have blocked such a feature.
But this time around – considering not one, but two official Formula 1 games are released each year with driver transfers – rights-holders Dorna Sports and developer Milestone are set to include it.
The official games, in recent years, have included all four main real-world categories (MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE) and with that set to continue, there should be a plethora of riders to select from for your own fictional team, or when riding for an authentic outfit.
This is set to change, at long last, in the latest instalment, with a system that includes cancelled qualifying times and redress position calls.
Tyre wear and bike electronics are also said to be revised, alongside further AI refinements that are claimed to better match real-world riding styles.
The riding physics and competitor performance are key areas for improvement – new features are welcome, but the riding experience must be the main priority when the series has, for some, stagnated in recent years.
Last year’s game witnessed the debut of an AI-powered assist system and ranked online multiplayer entitled ‘LiveGP’. Both return this year, the former now dubbed the ‘adaptive difficulty’ system, and the latter now augmented with an online championship mode.
Once again, local split-screen and cross-platform multiplayer (excluding PC and Switch) return, alongside all tracks featured in the 2024 schedule plus helmet, sticker, racing number and butt patch editors.
