Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, allowing it to run smoothly even on lower-end PCs, with impressive textures and models. However, players have noted issues with AI performance and difficulty levels that are not well-tuned, alongside some reports of crashes and performance drops after updates. While the bike performance feels targeted, there are concerns about the realism of pack racing and the lack of detailed audio recordings for individual bikes.
- “The performance of the bikes feels on target without any lag.”
- “The textures and bike models are flawless, the sky and track details are good, the motion blur is good and not annoying. The game is also well optimized, so you will be able to run it on lower-end PCs.”
- “Also very well optimized, runs easily and smoothly at max settings. Love it!”
- “They don't respect the presence of the player as much as they should, and the field gets spread out quickly even in Moto3, a category known for pack racing in reality (the disparity in Moto3 bike performance doesn't help).”
- “Cons are bad AI and a difficult level that is still not properly optimized.”
- “First a massive performance drop and then it crashes on start.”
