RIDE 5

The game revolves around the career mode, in which we gradually climb local and international rankings. Throughout competitions we earn credits, spent on new machines or upgrading already owned ones. We can also paint our bikes or helmets with custom colors. For the first time in the series, the game features a narrator and ten personalized opponents, each with their own backstories and personalities.

RIDE 5 also introduces various improvements in motorcycle simulation, such as tire deformation (which is visual as well), suspension system, chain operation (for more realistic acceleration) or driver-machine interaction.

The endurance races making a return from RIDE 4 have also been changed - it is now possible to save the game during the race and rewind time to reverse mistakes.

Game modes

In addition to career mode and other singleplayer modes (such as race creator), RIDE 5 also features split-screen and online multiplayer (ing cross-platform).

Technology

Thanks to abandoning eighth generation consoles, RIDE 5 offers both the aforementioned simulation improvements and enhanced visuals. Especially noticeable are volumetric clouds, which translate into prettier, more advanced dynamic weather and time of day changing during races.
