Milestone’s two-wheeler racing series is returning to the circuit next year with Ride 6. Featuring 340 motorcycles and 45 tracks, it promises to bring the pure, white-knuckle thrill the franchise has built its identity on.
Everything that's on offer feels fairly familiar, but this time Ride 6 appears to have picked the "festive" racer trend, a popular choice in modern titles like Forza Horizon and The Crew. How all of that pans out for the long-running series remains to be seen.
For now, here’s an overview of what's known about Ride 6 so far, from its release date and tracks to confirmed modes and bikes.
Ride 6 Release Date
Ride 6 is confirmed for a February 12, 2026, release. Ultimate Edition players can play the game three days early, beginning on February 9.
Ride 6 Platforms
Ride 6 will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Ride 6 Modes
Two of the headline additions for Ride 6 are the new off-road races and the new career mode, RIDE Fest.
There is not much known about the career mode yet, but it is set to be themed around festivals, where you'll "live and breathe two-wheel culture." The general premise is that you are taking on other real-life pros with appearances from the likes of Guy Martin, Casey Stoner, Troy Bayliss, Niccola Canepa, Tyler O’Hara, and Skyler Howes.
Ride as a series has been a very serious racer, and previous iterations have tried to make it more accessible. Ride 6 will continue on that by giving you an option in "The Arcade" or "The Pro" experience. As the name suggests, the former is aimed at new players who've just joined the ride, while the latter is for experienced drivers.
Of course, outside of the career mode and regular races, expect some of the staples from past entries. The game will feature local split-screen and full crossplay multiplayer modes, with split-screen support said to arrive post-launch. Race Creator will also be added sometime after its release.
Ride 6 Bikes and Track List
We do not yet have a full list of tracks or bikes available in Ride 6 for launch.

In terms of tracks, Laguna Seca, Blue Wave Circuit, Suzuka, and Portimao have been confirmed so far. A total of 45 real and fictional tracks will be available at launch (some among them will be part of packs and upgraded editions of the game).
