The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising them as top-notch and among the best for dirt bike games, while others criticize them for feeling outdated, likening them to games from 2007. Although there are improvements in certain areas like physics and track design, many players note a lack of significant advancements and limited customization options. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered good, they do not consistently meet modern standards across the board.
“Good graphics and the AI is not bad on any difficulty.”
“Graphics look really good, some of the best graphics I've seen for a dirt bike game.”
“Graphics are amazing; the way the bike handles is incredible. They put a lot of effort into this game, and I reckon it's got to be the best motocross game out there. Wonderful game, 100% recommend buying it.”
“The graphics look like a game from 2007.”
“Graphically speaking, it's not up to par.”
“It is exactly the same as Supercross 5, which has been downgraded in every area from previous games (physics, graphics, animations, customization, etc.) The camera angles are bad, the gear and liveries are still recycled from Supercross 3; this game is literally just a roster update using last year's riders.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the responsive controls and fluid mechanics, while others criticize it for being stiff, restrictive, and lacking depth.

“Gameplay is good, and getting a nice flow going is quite easy, and the controls feel responsive and fluid.”
“While not hugely different from last year's, supercross park and the tweaks to gameplay make Monster Energy Supercross 6 worth checking out.”
“Everything about it, physics, gameplay, movement, everything's horrible.”
“The gameplay is very stiff and restrictive, but it doesn't feel too unrealistic.”
“The physics aren't strong enough to keep you entertained alone and there isn't much else outside of the gameplay.”

The optimization of the game is inconsistent, with users reporting micro stuttering primarily linked to reflection quality, even on capable systems. While the game features impressive physics, the overall visual fidelity does not align with the performance, leading to a subpar experience for those with lower-end hardware. Additionally, the AI performance appears to be underwhelming.
“Even if your system can handle it, the reflections still cause micro stuttering even at 100+ fps.”
“Performance is all over the place.”
“Great game physics, but the AI seems to be a bit lacking in performance.”

While some players note improvements in graphics and physics, the overall experience remains marred by bugs and clunky performance, leading to a lack of recommendation from several users.
“I have this game and it won't let me play; it freezes up on me and then crashes when it comes to the tracks on my PC. Please help.”
“AI is awful, gameplay is buggy; would not recommend.”
“Clunky and buggy.”

Players feel that success in the game heavily relies on the amount of grinding done, with some suggesting that it can take up to 12 hours to fully upgrade a single bike without purchasing a credits multiplier. This has led to a perception that skill is secondary to the time invested in grinding.
“I guess we don't go 'oh you're as good as you are' anymore, now it's 'you're as good as the grinding you've put into this game.'”
“Make sure to buy the credits multiplier if you don't want to spend 12 hours grinding to get one singular bike to full stats on equipment, especially if you refrain from buying any other cosmetic upgrades or gear.”
