Milestone reminds us with a launch trailer that MotoGP 26, the latest chapter in the famous series dedicated to the world championship that brings the entire 2026 season to our screens, is available from today. The title presents itself as a profound evolution of the franchise, introducing completely reworked physics and a career management system that promises a realism never seen before, aiming to make us live every aspect of the life of a professional driver.

One of the most important innovations concerns the driver-based handling system, which radically transforms the driving feeling. In MotoGP 26 we will have to pay extreme attention to how we move and position our body on the saddle, as the shifts of the load will have a tangible impact on the stability of the bike, the cornering and the effectiveness of braking. Thanks to new dedicated animations, we will have a much finer and more natural control, perceiving a different responsiveness whether we decide to use the Pro or Arcade modes.

In parallel with the action on the track, the Career mode has been expanded to become a dynamic experience where every decision we make will matter. We will move within a new 3D paddock, which will act as a central hub to manage race weekends. Here we will have to actively interact with the media in Thursday press conferences: our answers to journalists will serve to establish objectives and evaluate rivalries, directly affecting our reputation and future job opportunities. To support us in this path we will have a Personal Manager who will be responsible for negotiating contracts and monitoring the driver market. In addition, we will finally be able to choose to take on the role of a real rider of any class, perhaps starting from Moto3 to try to climb to glory in the premier class.

The competitive landscape will be made even more faithful to reality thanks to Dynamic Driver Ratings. These cards will evolve throughout the season based on real-world results, defining grid skills through four key metrics: reliability, head-to-head, race pace and time attack. As for extra content, the Race Off mode is enriched with the new track in the United Kingdom, Canterbury Park, and introduces Production Bikes. These are single-brand events with 1000cc road bikes that will allow us to challenge riders from different categories, alongside the Motard, Flat Track and Minibike disciplines.

Progression in the game will also allow us to unlock special packs of collectible cards. By completing the various events, we will be able to obtain over 100 cards depicting iconic circuits, bikes and riders, embellished with illustrations by Japanese artist Ranka Fujiwara. There is also a strong component dedicated to customization and community: through advanced editors we will be able to create liveries, numbers and helmets to share online. Precisely in this regard, the MotoGPâ„¢2026 Helmet Design Contest has been launched: the most original design created by users will be physically created and worn by a real rider during an official race weekend.

The multiplayer sector takes a step forward thanks to cross-play support and optimized matchmaking that allows you to participate in races with full grids of up to 22 drivers. For those who prefer competition on the sofa, the Split-screen mode returns for local challenges.

We leave you to the trailer: enjoy!
