Improved bike physics and handling compared to Ride 5, offering a more realistic, weighty, and rewarding riding experience, especially in Pro mode.
Graphics and sound are significantly enhanced, with detailed bike models, tracks, and improved audio immersion that adds to the overall atmosphere.
The addition of diverse bike classes including baggers, enduro, and supermoto increases variety and fun, and the career mode offers a flexible progression system.

The game suffers from a frustrating and unintuitive user interface with clunky menus and poor quality-of-life features making navigation and customization cumbersome.
Content is lacking at launch, with many bikes missing or locked behind a slow rotating used bike market and expensive DLC, leading to a perceived bait-and-switch monetization strategy.
AI behavior is often broken or inconsistent, with unfair difficulty spikes, erratic racing tactics, and issues that adversely affect gameplay enjoyment.

Ride 6 delivers a noticeable improvement in graphics over its predecessor, featuring more vivid visuals, detailed bike models, and enhanced weather effects, resulting in a generally polished and visually appealing experience. However, some users note issues like limited graphics settings, lack of advanced features such as DLSS, occasional texture pop-ins, and mixed opinions on optimization and lighting. Overall, the graphical upgrade is widely appreciated, though not without some technical and aesthetic drawbacks.
- “Graphics are breathtaking, a massive step up from Ride 5.”
- “On the positive side, the graphics and weather effects are well done, and the bike models look excellent.”
- “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.”
- “Graphic options are really poor and not a lot of settings are available.”
- “Its slow, boring, and frankly the graphics are oddly sub par.”
- “No DLSS, no resolution scale 150% or 200%, forced TSR scaling, just a few bikes (30% of the Ride 5 content in rent mode time trial), aliased graphics, popping texture, only 12 AI, no AI strength slider.”

Gameplay receives mixed feedback, with many praising improved bike handling, fun mechanics, and enjoyable multiplayer experiences compared to previous titles.

Overall, while not perfect, the gameplay is considered engaging and significantly improved by many players.
- “Great physics, graphics, career, multiplayer, bike selection, and overall gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is great, way better and more enjoyable than 5 and 4, to a point where if I were to pick between the two I would pick 6 in a heartbeat.”
- “The game is fun, with handling that's improved compared to ride 5, and the added mechanics are enjoyable as well.”
- “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.”
- “Absolutely terrible... I was so excited for this game, and now after 3 hours of gameplay I can't stand it.”

The game shows noticeable improvements in visuals and overall performance but suffers from frequent freezes, glitches, and crashes that disrupt gameplay and progress saving. Stability issues such as laggy menus, buggy settings, and optimization problems are common complaints, leading to a frustrating experience despite its addictive qualities.
- “Looks noticeably better and runs great too.”
- “Game looks great, feels great, runs great.”

The game's optimization receives mixed feedback: while some users with high-end PCs report smooth performance and good graphics, others highlight issues like poor GPU optimization, laggy menus, crashes, and subpar frame rates compared to previous titles. Missing features like DLSS and reliance on TSR also frustrate players seeking better native support. Overall, performance varies significantly depending on hardware, with optimization perceived as lacking and inconsistent.
- “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 toggled on/off features like DLSS. At least give us the ability to run completely native and not use TSR.”
- “I was very skeptical about this sim because of all the negative reviews, but I have to say the sim is a lot of fun. I like the way the bikes handle, the graphics are super nice, and the performance is good when you turn off the automatic framerate cap (dynamic framerate or whatever it is called).”
- “Performance: I have a relatively high-end PC and I can run the game comfortably on ultra.”
- “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, the optical customization for both bikes and characters is simply put bad (even Ride 1 did it better), the mirrors are a real throwback to Ride 1 (they don't work), GPU optimization could be a lot better.”
- “Performance was worse than Ride 5, around 130 fps compared to the 190-200 I had on Ride 5, with not much visual improvement.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with many criticizing the repetitive, festival-style menu music and lack of variety, while some appreciate the improved soundtrack and accurate bike sounds. Several users desire options to adjust or reduce menu music and feel the game's musical style lacks originality compared to similar titles. Overall, the in-game sound effects are praised, but the music selection, especially in menus, is a common disappointment.
- “I actually really like the soundtrack this time around, giving it a new coat of paint with the festival vibe inspired by the Forza Horizon series.”
- “Sounds receive an 8/10 rating; the bike sounds are pretty accurate, and the menu/home music is worlds better.”
- “Another bonus is this game does not play any music during events, which enhances the experience.”
- “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.”
- “I'm not a big fan of house music and the fact the game feels like a head-on collision with Forza Horizon gives the game no individuality; I honestly am so disappointed with this game as good bike games are hard to come by.”
- “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.”

Users criticize the game's monetization for intrusive ads promoting DLCs despite owning the "ultimate" version, labeling it a disappointing cash grab with scummy microtransactions. While acknowledging the game's quality and developer effort, players find the piecemeal selling approach frustrating and off-putting.
- “Proper DualSense support on PC, an option to reduce the music while in the main menu but keep the ambient sound, and the additional work put into what is a beautiful looking game with good gameplay when it all comes together really show the developers deserve a lot of credit.”
- “Might be worth picking up on sale.”
- “Despite some minor issues, the amount of work put into the game is commendable.”
- “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.”
- “Disappointing cash grab.”
- “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

Grinding in the game is notably time-consuming and can feel tedious, especially in career mode, though acquiring different bikes offers some motivation. Certain features tied to grinding, like obtaining older bikes from the limited-time used bike dealership, add to the repetitiveness. Overall, while the grind is a common complaint, the game's solid mechanics and bike variety help mitigate some frustration.
- “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 once every 2 weeks.”
- “Overall this game is very solid, but the uneditable sections in race suits are extremely tedious to work around.”
