MotoGP 25 is the fifteenth racing game from Milestone studio dedicated to the titular motorcycle world championships.
The gameplay offers a realistic feeling, but beginner players can make it easier for themselves by enabling various assists. There is also a brand new Arcade Experience option (the alternative is Pro Experience for more advanced s).
The game recreates the 2025 season of MotoGP competitions. Authentic motorcycles, teams, riders and race tracks are featured here. The list of the available tracks now also includes two new objects: Balaton Park in Hungary and Brno in the Czech Republic (the latter returned to the championship calendar after a several-year break).
Just like in previous installments, the foundation of the game is a single-player career mode, in which the competition takes place in three classes of machines: Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP. To advance to a higher category, we need to not only achieve success on the tracks, but also take care of relationships with our team and other players, as well as monitor the transfer market (looking for opportunities to move to a team that gives us better development prospects).
Additionally, motorcycles need to be gradually improved between races. The new Bike Development System helps with this, giving us more control over this process through conversations with engineers or meticulous tinkering with the settings of various machine parameters.
Another significant novelty in the career mode in MotoGP 25 is the addition of three training disciplines: Motard, Mini Bikes and Flat Track. We hone our skills and maintain our form by riding small motorcycles on gravel and asphalt. We participate in various challenges on four special routes in two locations.
Apart from various single-player game modes - which include career, quick races or time trials - in MotoGP 25 we can also have fun with other players, both locally (on a split screen) or via the Internet. This second variant includes things like new ranked races and a crossplay feature (not available in the Nintendo Switch version of the game).
An important technological change in MotoGP 25 was switching to Unreal Engine 5. The game features realistic motorcycle sounds which were re-recorded for this entry.

Game Ratings for MotoGP 25 Video Game.
GamingBolt: 8 / 10 by Rashid Sayed
MotoGP 25 delivers an authentic racing experience with sharp physics, smart AI, and gorgeous bike models. It offers plenty of modes and deep customization, making it a strong entry in the series. However, lackluster commentary, bland off-track visuals, and a dry career presentation hold it back from greatness.

I made great strides in broadening the appeal, allowing newcomers to remain somewhat competitive. Even so, it is still a challenging ride in a world of arcade-y offerings that improves on its previous entries. Do yourself a favor though and play it docked with a Pro Controller, which feels like how it is meant to be experienced.
