Welcome! Today we’re counting down our picks for the best PC motorcycle games that you should check out.
And without further ado, let’s dive right in.
#25. RIDE 4
- Release Date: 2020
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
Alright, this is basically the legendary game that really put the RIDE franchise on the map.
Back then, people kept saying that the gameplay looked like actual GoPro footage, and yeah, I can definitely see why.
I mean, the shaky camera, photorealistic environments, realistic lighting, and that crazy sense of speed all came together really well, making this game a huge sensation at the time.
And don’t forget, the physics are great too. In fact, this is still one of the more realistic motorcycle games out there.
So yeah, if you crave realism, get this one.
#24. Dakar Desert Rally
- Release Date: 2022
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
Now, there are not many games that actually focus on the Dakar Rally, so we are pretty lucky to have this one. And in this game, the main point is not really about realistic vehicle physics. It’s more about navigation, orientation, and finding your way across huge open terrain.
Anyway, Arcade mode is the easiest way in for most players, while Pro and Simulation modes are there for those who want the full challenge.
So if you are tired of the usual road-bike racers, or even the same old motocross games, this one is definitely worth checking out.
#23. Bash Moto
- Release Date: 2026
- Platform: PC
Okay, this game is basically a spiritual successor to the legendary Road Rash series, and yeah, just look at it. It’s colorful, fast, and built around smashing other riders off their bikes.
I mean, here, you’re not just racing clean lines and chasing lap times. You’re kicking, slamming, and bashing your way to the finish because that’s how you win.
So yeah, finally, arcade racing games are starting to flood the market again. And if you miss the days when racing games were allowed to be stupid and fun, this one should be on your radar.
#22. LANESPLIT
- Release Date: 2026
- Platform: PC
Look, do not expect too much from this one because the whole game is basically about riding down long roads, splitting lanes, and avoiding traffic. That’s really all there is to it, and yes, the visuals can also look a little dark and repetitive after a while.
So who actually plays something like this? Well, it’s people who just want to unwind, put on some music, and cruise without thinking too hard. And if that sounds like exactly what you need after a long day, then maybe check this one out.
#21. Hangin’ Off!
- Release Date: 2026
- Platform: PC
So, this one is basically a love letter to the retro arcade motorcycle games many of us used to play on actual arcade machines. It’s colorful, fast, simple, and obsessed with giving you that old-school racing feeling.
And sure, it’s nowhere near the realistic motorcycle sims people love to glaze nowadays, but that is not the point. This game is all about tight arcade handling, flashy tracks, and pure nostalgia.
So yeah, this one isn’t for the young guys. But if you are already wearing hats to cover your balding head, this one is made for you.
#20. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Release Date: 2004
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch
Alright, this is still one of the most played open-world games out there, even today.
And let’s be real, a lot of the time we’re not even doing missions. We’re just driving around, riding bikes, causing chaos, and doing a bunch of stupid stuff for no reason.
But, maybe some of you forgot that San Andreas actually has quite a few motorcycle races and challenges too.
And I’m sure most of you never finished all of them back then.
So yeah, maybe it’s time to finally do all the stuff you skipped years ago.
#19. Road Redemption
- Release Date: 2017
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch
Now, this one is basically another spiritual successor to the Road Rash games, just like Bash Moto. But while Bash Moto looks colorful and almost cartoonish, this game is way more brutal and gritty.
I mean, you’re still racing bikes and beating the hell out of other riders, but everything feels dirtier and more violent here.
And not only that, it also has four-player local split-screen, so you can play it with your friends in your mom’s basement.
So yeah, if you miss Road Rash and want something nastier, grab a few friends and beat each other up.
#18. Cyberpunk 2077
- Release Date: 2020
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2
Look, no, I’m not trolling, because this game honestly offers one of the best virtual motorcycle riding experiences you can get today. I mean, just look at those graphics mods that went viral a while ago—they made the streets, lighting, and vehicles look insanely realistic.
But of course, don’t expect the riding physics to match those visuals. This is still an open-world action RPG first and foremost, not a motorcycle sim.
Still, if you’re into cruising around Night City on cool, high-tech futuristic bikes in a cyberpunk setting, then you really don’t need to look anywhere else.
#17. Moto Racer 4
- Release Date: 2016
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch
Okay, this one is an arcade motorcycle racing game, plain and simple. And yes, it’s not groundbreaking, it’s not popular, and honestly, it doesn’t try to be anything more than a straightforward racer.
But if you already know what the typical low-budget arcade racing game looks like, then you probably won’t be disappointed. You get fast races, accessible handling, and enough variety to keep things moving without making your brain work too hard.
And obviously, if you grew up playing the original Moto Racer games, this one might be worth checking out for nostalgia alone.
#16. Trials Rising
- Release Date: 2019
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch
So this one is more of a 2.5D physics-based side-scrolling game than a traditional racing game. But you’re still racing against the clock, and honestly, the satisfaction of clearing a track perfectly scratches the same itch as a proper sim racer.
I mean, every jump, landing, and tiny movement matters, so one small mistake can ruin the entire run. That’s also why it gets so addictive.
So yeah, if you’re the type of player with OCD who must do everything perfectly, this game will probably consume a significant amount of your time—and perhaps your life.
#15. Fuel
- Release Date: 2009
- Platform: PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
Alright, this was one of the biggest open-world racing games around back in the day. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic version of America, which explains why everything is dark and yellow.
Anyway, motorcycles are actually pretty fun here. So if you just want some simple arcade-style bike racing inside a ridiculously huge open world, then this is your game.
Oh, but getting this one legally today is kinda annoying since it’s no longer officially sold. But if you’re classically trained in the dark arts of finding games on the internet, well, you probably know what to do.
#14. MX vs. ATV Reflex
- Release Date: 2009
- Platform: PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
Look, Reflex was the GOAT back in the day, and hardcore motocross fans still praise it for good reason. But let’s be honest, if you’re playing it for the first time now, you might not feel the same magic.
I mean, nostalgia can make older games seem better than they really were. And newer games have come a long way in terms of graphics, mechanics, and overall polish since Reflex first hit the scene.
So if you’re already a fan, this one still hits hard. But if you’re new or casual, keep your expectations realistic.
#13. RiMS Racing
- Release Date: 2021
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch
Now this one is also one of the most recommended games if you want a realistic motorcycle racing sim. And yes, it’s hard when you’re new, but hey, that’s just how sims work. They need focus, patience, and a lot of practice before they start feeling rewarding.
And in this game, you also have to deal with spare parts, pit stops, bike maintenance, and other racing elements. So unlike other motorcycle sims where the physics are basically the main attraction, this one goes much deeper.
Simply put, if you want something technical and demanding, this is your game.
#12. Grand Theft Auto V
- Release Date: 2013
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
So, this one is still the go-to choice if you want a huge open world where both driving and riding actually feel fun, at least until GTA 6 finally comes to PC. I mean, around 90% of your time is basically spent going from point A to point B in whatever vehicle you like.
And not only that, if you’re on PC, you can install ultra-realistic graphics and vehicle mods too. That way, you can pretend you’re riding real-life sport bikes through a fictional Los Angeles while you’re actually just sitting alone in your room.
#11. The Crew Motorfest
- Release Date: 2023
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2
Okay, unlike The Crew 2, where motorcycles were basically just there without much proper content, this one actually gives bikes their own racing playlist.
And yes, this is also one of the most popular racing games out there right now, so you’re getting way more than just bikes. There are cars, boats, planes, and plenty of events to mess around with.
So yeah, if you want a modern open-world racing game where you can cruise around the map riding bikes you can’t afford in real life, then honestly, this is probably the best option available right now.
#10. TrackDayR
- Release Date: 2021
- Platform: PC
Alright, if you love Assetto Corsa, you might want to check this one out. This game aims to be a complete motorcycle sim that lets you ride pretty much every type of motorbike you can think of.
And not only that, the idea of modding in almost any bike and track is seriously appealing. Oh, and also, the devs are constantly rolling out updates, and you can actually feel the game improving with each one.
So yeah, if you’re into modding, give this one a try. It’s unfinished, sure, but the potential here is massive.
#9. MotoGP 26
- Release Date: 2026
- Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch
Look, this annual series is basically the FIFA of motorcycle games. And yeah, the gameplay changes every year, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, but most players won’t care because they just want the newest game with the latest bikes and riders.
But still, the physics here feel better than last year, so at least there’s some real improvement this time.
And while this one isn’t really made for hardcore sim players, it’s still the go-to game for newcomers. So naturally, it earns a spot in the top ten on this list.
#8. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned
- Release Date: 2009
- Platform: PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
Now, driving in GTA 4 was challenging for most people because the physics were more realistic compared to other games of its time. Then, Rockstar released two DLCs, and one of them was this game.
Here, you’re a member of an outlaw biker gang, doing missions that involve riding around on bikes and engaging in shootouts. It’s as simple as that.
And yes, the riding is quite challenging at first, but stick with it and you’ll regret not playing this back then.
Oh, and there are also fun and brutal Road Rash-style bike races, just so you know.
#7. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3
- Release Date: 2023
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch
So, this one is a realistic motorcycle racing game focusing on the Isle of Man TT event, which is one of the most dangerous motorsport events in history. I mean, that alone already makes this one different from the usual circuit racers.
Not only that, you also get an open world you can explore riding various sportbikes, so you’re not always stuck doing races.
Also, the roads are fast, narrow, and unforgiving, and one mistake can ruin everything. So yeah, if you’re into realistic and dangerous road racing, this is easily one of the best motorcycle games right now.
#6. MX vs ATV Legends
- Release Date: 2022
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
This game was considered pretty trash when it first came out, and yeah, that reputation was deserved. But after years of updates, fixes, and added content, it’s now pretty good.
And for the mainstream audience, this is probably the go-to choice right now. The graphics look great, there’s plenty of content, and it’s much easier to get into than the hardcore sims.
So yeah, if you’re not the kind of guy who complains about every tiny detail, this one will probably end up being your main dirt bike game for a long time to come.
#5. Days Gone
- Release Date: 2019
- Platform: PC, PS5, PS4
Okay, I know some of you probably think I’m trolling by putting this one in this video. But seriously, just look at the gameplay. You’re practically inseparable from your bike for most of the game.
And it’s not just transportation either. Your bike is crucial for surviving zombie chases, hunting down thieves, and traveling across the post-apocalyptic world. Also, you can upgrade its fuel tank, engine, durability, and other parts so it lasts longer and performs better.
So yeah, if you want a massive open-world game where motorcycles actually matter, definitely grab this one.
#4. RIDE 5
- Release Date: 2023
- Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
Look, this one is currently the most played RIDE game on PC, and compared to RIDE 4, it’s a bit easier to get into without completely losing that realistic feeling.
Yet at the same time, it also feels more mature and established than the newly released RIDE 6.
So yeah, we’ve got a RIDE game for every kind of player here in this video.
RIDE 4 if you want something harder, RIDE 6 if you want the newest one with more content variety, and this one if you want something more established and popular.
#3. GP Bikes
- Release Date: 2021
- Platform: PC
Alright, this one is easily one of the best motorcycle sims out there. But yeah, it’s also pretty bare-bones, and the graphics are honestly nothing special.
So yeah, this game definitely isn’t for everyone. It’s mainly for people who don’t mind tinkering around, changing settings, and installing a bunch of mods to make everything better.
But once you get it all set up properly, that’s when the game really starts to shine. The physics are insanely detailed, the riding feels rewarding, and chances are you’ll end up getting addicted to it after learning how everything works.
#2. RIDE 6
- Release Date: 2026
- Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
Now, this one feels like a clear step up from RIDE 5, especially if you care about content variety, because now we finally have dirt races too.
Also, most players seem to be having a good time with it, while hardcore RIDE fans are having meltdowns because the physics aren’t realistic enough.
And honestly, if you remember that this is a video game and just play it like one, you’ll probably have fun. But if you expect every detail to be realistic, down to the physics of every atom, you’ll probably complain no matter what.
#1. MX Bikes
- Release Date: 2019
- Platform: PC
So, this one is pretty much the go-to motocross sim right now, finally taking the crown from MX Sim for a lot of players. And honestly, it’s easy to see why.
