The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising their quality and improvements over previous titles in the series, while others criticize them as outdated or lacking in detail, particularly in certain areas like crowd animations and track textures. Some players report good performance on mid-range systems, but there are complaints about limited graphical options and optimization issues. Overall, while the visuals are generally considered decent for a motocross game, they fall short of current standards and expectations for a title released in 2018.
- “The graphics quality is on point and it is a large improvement over MX vs. ATV Supercross, so it is a step in the right direction for the MX vs. ATV franchise.”
- “Beautiful graphics; when customizing bikes/riders, it will blow you away on how beautiful the textures look.”
- “Great graphics, especially for a motocross game, and it does not ride badly, but for sure it's a solo arcade-style game.”
- “Dogshit game bro, bad graphics, bad physics, should not be on Steam.”
- “The graphics are terrible and the control is so loose it's laughable.”
- “Big disappointment, the graphics are very mediocre and for the price of the game, it's not worth it. I bought MX vs ATV Reflex for $5 on sale and I'm much more satisfied with that purchase than this one, even though this is a brand new game and years newer than Reflex.”

Overall, the game's optimization has seen significant improvements since its initial release, particularly for AMD systems and high-end PCs, resulting in smoother performance and better graphics. However, many users still report lingering performance issues, especially on consoles, with limited graphical options and some unoptimized elements affecting the overall experience. While recent updates have made the game more playable, further optimization is still needed to fully address the concerns raised by players.
- “The game is optimized well for AMD and has split-screen multiplayer.”

- “Performance is now also really good; the same 2080 card and Ryzen 2700X now runs smoothly on epic, whereas it ran poorly before.”
- “I put off buying the game because it lacked some of the multiple vehicles we had in older titles and I heard the physics were wonky, with performance issues even though it's built upon UE4, which actually has great performance when done right.”

The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant bugs and glitches, particularly in online racing and vehicle physics. While some users report improvements over time and find the game enjoyable despite these issues, others experience severe problems, such as system freezes and erratic AI behavior. Overall, while the game shows potential and has a solid foundation, it still suffers from notable stability concerns that affect the gameplay experience.
- “Looks great and runs great.”

- “I'm on Linux using Steam Proton, and after about 20 minutes on max graphics settings, my whole system freezes, and it only happens with this game.”
- “The cons: very buggy, your rider is very floaty and bounces off of walls and rocks like they're balloons. The terrain deformation seems to be downgraded from previous games, water acts as if it's dead and physically not there (barely any collision, no splashing, barely animated), and this wouldn't be as much of a problem if there wasn't tons of water throughout the game, so it's unavoidable.”
