New bikes and categories debut in the Ride 6 gameplay trailer
The makers of Ride 6, Milestone, have released a gameplay trailer showing a bunch of new bikes, tracks, and disciplines.
If you are waiting patiently for the new year, so you can get your gaming fix on the new Ride 6 video game, we have something to whet your appetite! The games maker, Milestone, has just released a new gameplay trailer - and it’s looking seriously good!
We’ve known for a while now that new categories and riding disciplines would be landing in 2026, with baggers and maxi-enduros both confirmed early on. And while we’ve seen snippets of how they look on the games' flawlessly created tracks, until now, we’ve not been able to get an idea of how the physics of the game will shape up.
Ride 6 gameplay trailer
The new Ride 6 gameplay trailer gives us that insight, and from what we can see, it’s good news. One of the most eagerly awaited features is the chance to ride big-bore adventure bikes (or ‘maxi-enduros, as they are called in-game) on proper dirt tracks. With the rest of the Ride franchise focusing solely on asphalt road and track courses, it’s a big leap to then take on adventure bike physics in the more dynamic landscape of a dirt track.
From what we can see, the team have done a decent job. The bikes seem to wallow on their suspension as the track rises and falls, and the back end kicks out under power in a realistic manner. If anything, it’s made us want Christmas to hurry up and get out of the way so that February can come round and we can try it for ourselves!
Another new feature is the chance to try out some baggers from the King of the Baggers championship - and this is the one the Visordown office has really been waiting for. The baggers have been wowing crowds on the other side of the pond for a few years now, and the spectacle of seeing these near 300kg machines topping 180mph has now been recreated in digital form.
As with the adventure bikes, the physics seem to match up. The rear end slides like anything under power, and when the rider chops the throttle and gets on the brakes coming into a corner, you can see the towering V-twins snaking beneath the rider.
The latest edition also claims the biggest garage yet, with more than 340 motorcycles from 21 manufacturers spread across seven categories, including the maxi-enduro machines, the baggers and even maxi scooters. There are 45 tracks, both real and fictional, that swap between asphalt and dirt as well as two new riding styles that cater to different tastes: Arcade mode for newcomers or nervous riders, and Pro mode for those seeking realism deep enough to feel chiropractor bills in advance.
A refreshed Riding School returns, backed by Unreal Engine 5’s upgraded visuals, capturing everything from carbon-fibre highlights to overly perfect race leathers. Cross-play multiplayer and split-screen options are available, and the rider roster includes Casey Stoner, Skyler Howes, Niccolo Canepa, Tyler O’Hara, Guy Martin, and Peter Hickman - even if some of them aren’t instantly recognisable!
Ride 6 launches 12 February 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Early Access opens 9 February.
