The graphics in the game are generally praised for their improved detail, realistic lighting, and high-quality textures, benefiting from the Unreal Engine and a notable "next-gen" upgrade. While many find the visuals stunning, polished, and authentic to real-life tracks, some users feel the graphics are outdated compared to recent titles or previous series entries. Overall, the game offers impressive and immersive visuals for a dirt bike racing experience, though certain graphical glitches and performance inconsistencies have been noted.
- “Graphically, MXGP 2020 benefits from Milestone’s continued use of the Unreal Engine, which provides detailed bikes, realistic lighting, and impressive terrain deformation effects.”
- “One of the best versions in the MXGP series, for me the second best after MXGP3 (2017), 2020 received an important "next gen" graphical upgrade: everything is more beautiful and better polished, lighting, textures, and way better detailed circuit scenarios, I really liked.”
- “As far as the graphics go, I think MXGP 2020 is stunning and running it a consistent 120fps at 1440p is beautiful!”
- “Graphics are so bad I uninstalled within 10 minutes of playing.”
- “The graphics are from 2 generations back.”
- “So, this game has terrible graphics compared to the last 2 games.”

The gameplay is praised for its realistic physics, challenging AI, and deep mechanics, especially in bike setup and track navigation, offering a rewarding experience for motorsport enthusiasts. However, it can be unforgiving for newcomers and lacks a variety of modes and community features, which may limit long-term engagement. Some desire more arcade-style options and expanded content to enhance replayability and online interaction.
- “On high-end PCs or next-generation consoles, the game maintains a smooth frame rate and reduced loading times, offering a visually pleasing experience that complements its simulation-driven gameplay.”
- “Masterpiece, I am not experiencing any bugs, getting smooth very high-quality graphics, gameplay is challenging, AI will race you hard, and physics are quite realistic and very entertaining.”
- “The scrubs are better, the cornering is better, timing, and overall mechanics make this game stick out.”
- “There should be an option for more arcade-style gameplay.”
- “The way the front end squares up a corner if you aren't going fast feels stupid and ruins the flow. It happens at too high a speed and makes no sense.”
- “Lack of packed-in content like supercross tracks, a more robust track creator, and a central online play hub reduces the game's online appeal, resulting in fewer players compared to previous titles.”

While it offers some management and customization features, overall performance is lackluster, especially on older consoles, making it a challenging experience for many players.
- “You can sign contracts with real teams, manage sponsorships, and customize your rider’s equipment and performance settings.”
- “It’s running on the Unreal Engine, so there are bound to be performance issues and bugs, and this game has them as well.”
- “It’s running the Unreal Engine, so there are bound to be performance issues and bugs, and this game has them as well.”
- “I understand the pandemic is hindering performance and a succession of targeted deadlines, but this is too much.”
- “A barebones selection of modes, mediocre customization, and lackluster performance on seventh gen consoles make MXGP 2020 a pretty tough sell for most.”

The atmosphere is highly immersive, enhanced by authentic audio design featuring realistic engine growls, tire sounds, and rev limiter effects that create a raw and immediate experience.
