The graphics in MXGP 2019 have received generally positive feedback, with many players praising the improved visuals, detailed environments, and smooth performance, particularly in first-person view. While some users noted minor issues with the physics and certain graphical elements, the overall presentation is considered a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering a visually appealing experience that runs well on various hardware. However, a few reviews expressed disappointment, claiming that the graphics did not meet expectations compared to earlier titles in the series.
- “The graphics part of MXGP 2019 looks slick, especially when you get on the bike in first-person view.”
- “The graphics and race teams are great.”
- “Graphics look great, the new first-person camera where mud will get on your goggles and you have to tear off the protective sheets to see clearly again is awesome!”
- “The graphics and physics are awful, and it doesn't give you the option to change the graphics settings anywhere that I could find.”
- “There is a noticeable improvement overall in the depth and clarity in the visuals as last year's release suffered majorly in this area with a very washed out look and lower texture quality.”
- “Worst game on the franchise, terrible physics, scrubs are worse than MXGP Pro, the playground is boring, and the graphics don't look too good; MXGP Pro has better graphics, but the best game on the franchise is MXGP 3.”

The gameplay in the game is generally praised for its solid mechanics, impressive physics, and enjoyable bike customization options, which cater to both newcomers and experienced players. However, some users have reported issues such as infinite loading screens in career mode and a perceived decline in gameplay quality compared to earlier titles in the series. Overall, while the game offers a fun and engaging experience, it has room for improvement, particularly in online play and certain gameplay mechanics.
- “Between races, players can adjust bike setups to match terrain types or personal preferences, lending the experience a light simulation flavor without overwhelming newcomers with complex mechanics.”
- “Utterly brilliant addictive gameplay, superb graphics, lovely deep saturation and an incredibly fun feel to the bike.”
- “I don't normally like racing or sports games, but this is really enjoyable. I really enjoyed the seasons gameplay because it's easy to play through a season many times as you can sign with different teams and sponsors every season, playing with different AI difficulty and physics.”
- “After 75 hours of gameplay, I am now stuck on career (loading 100%) infinitely.”
- “It doesn't rain every single race and takes away from the gameplay.”
- “Ue really boosted the visuals of the series but severely crippled it in the gameplay department.”

Despite some minor bugs and performance issues, many players appreciate the improvements made in optimization, contributing to an enjoyable gameplay experience.

The music in the game is generally described as functional but lacking in variety and flair, with some users noting a need for more background tracks during longer races and additional menu music. While some players appreciate the funky soundtrack, others find it basic and unappealing, leading them to mute it during gameplay. Overall, the audio experience is seen as a mixed bag, with room for improvement in both variety and quality.
- “With great graphics and a funky soundtrack, this game offers excellent replayability and is a lot of fun!”
- “The music is freaking cool, love to play with the handlebar view, the bike feels much more real and doesn't bounce everywhere like in the old MXGP.”
- “Funky soundtracks!”
- “The music and menus, however, retain the utilitarian style common to Milestone's catalog; functional but lacking flair.”
- “There isn't really much of a commentator or voice actors, and the soundtrack is pretty basic sounding, which made me mute it after some races.”
- “It would be nice if we could choose to turn off the microphones of other players because when a player is listening to music, you are forced to listen to their music since their microphone records it.”

- “The game doesn't really have a story, but you start off as an unknown driver that competes in the MX2 in order to get a promotion and try to win the MXGP championship, all while collecting contracts and leveling up. Not much, honestly, but still worth mentioning.”
