Players feel that the game's replayability could be significantly enhanced by reintroducing classic races from previous editions, as the current iteration lacks variety and misses iconic courses like Ventoux. This suggests a desire for more diverse content to keep the experience fresh and engaging.
- “I think a game series that releases yearly like this one could benefit greatly from continually bringing back races from older years to bolster its variety and replayability. I hope Cyanide takes note of this because I subtly missed racing up mountains like Ventoux in this year's edition.”

The game's stability is a significant concern, with frequent crashes reported, particularly in the new criterium mode, which is also plagued by bugs and a lack of genuine multiplayer experience, often resorting to bot-filled matches. Overall, players find the stability issues detract from the enjoyment of the game.
- “Enjoyable, but it's still the exact same game as every other year, with the only exception being the criterium mode that is incredibly buggy and not enjoyable, especially considering that the game crashes all the time and that the 'multiplayer' in the crit mode is almost always just filled with bots.”
