Significant improvement in bike physics and handling compared to Ride 5, with a more realistic and rewarding riding experience especially on Pro settings.
Graphics and sound are enhanced, with detailed bike models, tracks, and atmospheric audio that adds to immersion and enjoyment.
Inclusion of off-road racing modes (Enduro, Supermoto, Baggers) adds variety and fun to gameplay, expanding beyond traditional superbike racing.

Career mode and progression system are poorly designed, repetitive, and often require racing undesired bikes; lacks depth and meaningful rewards.
UI and menu navigation are confusing, clunky, and overly stylized with a 'festival' theme that many find distracting and unintuitive.
Game suffers from bugs, technical issues, inconsistent AI behavior, lack of content depth at launch, and questionable DLC and monetization practices.

The graphics in this game represent a clear improvement over its predecessor, Ride 5, with enhanced visuals, better bike models, and well-executed weather effects, though some users find them only decent rather than exceptional. Criticisms include limited graphic settings, lack of advanced features like DLSS, forced temporal super resolution, and occasional texture popping, which hamper optimization and visual fidelity. Overall, while the graphics are praised as a major step up and enjoyable for creating detailed liveries and screenshots, some feel they fall short of AAA standards expected in 2026.
- “Graphics are breathtaking, massive step up from Ride 5.”
- “The bike, suit, and helmet customization is fabulous and I'm having a lot of fun just creating liveries and taking advantage of the amazing graphics to get spectacular screenshots.”
- “From upgraded graphics, tire feel/physics, smoothness of the tracks and riding style, this game won it for me.”
- “The inability to disable temporal super resolution (TSR) is a joke.”
- “Graphics options are really poor and not a lot of settings are available.”
- “The graphics are fairly well improved, although faces still look like they were drawn in with crayons by a 7 year old.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with many praising improved bike handling, mechanics, and overall fun compared to previous entries, while others criticize unrealistic physics, poor balancing, and a shift toward arcade-style feel that detracts from authenticity. Career mode and UI receive negative remarks, though multiplayer and bike variety are generally well-received. Despite flaws, the gameplay is considered enjoyable by many, especially in online play.
- “The gameplay is great, way better and more enjoyable than Ride 5 and 4, to a point where if I were to pick between the two I would pick 6 in a heartbeat.”
- “I think they finally nailed the gameplay aspect where it feels fun to ride these things around the track.”
- “Bikes feel fun, different enough between one another, graphics are nice while not looking extremely realistic, which can be compensated by the fun gameplay.”
- “Then the gameplay just does not feel like 'ride' again. It feels like an arcade game; weight does not feel right, the traction, steering, leaning – the whole 9. The UI again feels like an arcade game.”
- “Combined for awful gameplay where you can never seem to ride the bike in a way it should on dirt.”
- “Gameplay feels lackluster because of bad balancing and unrealistic physics behavior.”
stability

The game shows notable stability issues, including frequent freezes, crashes, and buggy visual glitches, which hinder the overall experience despite good handling and improved graphics. Performance is inconsistent with occasional stutters and poor optimization, particularly affecting menus and customizations. While addictive for fans, stability problems and progression-saving failures remain significant drawbacks.
- “Looks noticeably better and runs great too.”
- “Game looks great, feels great, runs great.”
- “Buggy, missing textures, sprockets don't spin with the wheels.”
- “It continuously freezes and does not save my progress, even though I have restarted the game approximately 4–5 times in an attempt to resolve the issue.”
- “Game stutters every few seconds, and when it does, it freezes for 1-2 seconds.”

Optimization in the game is mixed, with some users experiencing good performance on high-end PCs while others report poor GPU optimization, laggy menus, crashes, and no advanced features like DLSS. Despite decent graphics and physics, many feel performance is worse compared to previous titles, and overall optimization issues detract from the experience.
- “While I never personally had any performance issues (almost always getting anywhere from 160-220 fps), this game is built on UE5 and is missing features like toggled DLSS. It would be great to have the ability to run completely native and not use TSR.”
- “I was skeptical because of the negative reviews, but the sim is fun and the graphics are super nice. The performance is good when you turn off the automatic framerate cap (dynamic framerate).”
- “Performance: I have a relatively high-end PC and I can run the game comfortably on ultra settings.”
- “Performance was worse than Ride 5, around 130 FPS compared to the 190-200 I had on Ride 5, with not much visual improvement.”
- “With how poorly optimized this game is, you'd think I was playing on a toaster.”
- “The bad: laggy menu, buggy settings, the game crashed my entire PC once, GPU optimization could be a lot better.”

The music receives mixed feedback, with many criticizing the menu and in-game tracks as repetitive, festival-style, and uninspired, detracting from the overall experience. However, some appreciate the soundtrack and find the bike sounds accurate and well-done, noting an improvement over previous titles. Overall, the music is seen as a weaker aspect amidst solid gameplay and visuals.
- “It's got a new coat of paint in the whole "festival" thing ripped straight from the Forza Horizon series (although I actually really like the soundtrack this time around).”
- “- sounds- 8/10, pretty accurate sounds for the bikes it seems, menu/home music is worlds better.”
- “Another bonus is this game is not playing any music at you during events.”
- “The handling in my eyes is the best it’s ever been but this is Ride 5.25 with a more garbage menu and trash music.”
- “My only complaint is the in-game music is terrible.”
- “Popular bikes like the Yamaha R9, Ducati Monster, ZX6R, KTM 990 Duke and many others not in game because they have to push DLC plans, not even a black color option for bikes, 2026 and less features than 8 years ago, but hey at least we got a DJ that plays the same 3 upbeat songs on repeat.”
monetization

Users criticize the game's monetization for intrusive ads and microtransactions, especially given the "ultimate" edition's issues with DLC prompts. Many view it as a disappointing cash grab that detracts from an otherwise visually impressive and well-developed game.
- “DLSS would also be a nice addition, proper DualSense support on PC, an option to reduce the music while in the main menu but keep the ambient sound, remove the monetization and a few more things which I won't go into because it is still a lot of work put into what is a beautiful looking game with good gameplay when it all comes together and for that the developers deserve a lot of credit.”
- “Might be worth picking up on sale.”
- “The game is a beautiful-looking game with good gameplay when it all comes together, showing that the developers deserve a lot of credit.”
- “Edit: Yes, Steam, I would like to review this review, since now I get ads interrupting my game for the DLCs I don't own from my 'Ultimate' version of this game.”
- “Might be worth picking up on sale, however some scummy microtransactions would stop me from doing that too.”
- “The game feels so conservative it borders on laziness, and the worst part is that it comes packaged with monetization that clearly says they want to sell it to you piece by piece.”
grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Grinding in the game’s career mode is notably grindy and can feel tedious over time, especially due to limited options like the infrequent used bike dealership rotations. However, the variety of bikes rewarded and some unique features help offset the repetitiveness, though several common complaints about customization and content restrictions remain.
- “This game's career mode is 100% as grindy as its reputation, but the difference in bikes it gives you is great.”
- “The used bike dealership to get cheap bikes from a limited time is a nice addition; however, this being the only place to get older bikes from is very, very tedious, especially as the dealership re-rolls its selection only once every 2 weeks.”
- “The un-editable sections of race suits are extremely tedious to work around, making customization frustrating.”
