The fifth instalment of the Ride video game franchise will arrive on August 24, 2023. Players of Ride 5 can race the latest in motorcycling exotica on a series of iconic race tracks from around the world. Think Gran Turismo for bikes and you won’t be far off.

Although details remain limited, a 55-second trailer released on the official PlayStation YouTube channel shows bikes including the BMW M1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10RR, Ducati Superleggera V4, and KTM 1290 Super Duke R being ridden to their limit on tracks including Brands Hatch, Suzuka, and the North West 200 road racing course.

A further inspection of the Ride 5 website shows that the game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, and more – with two player split screen racing returning alongside online multiplayer. Other bikes found in the game include the latest Suzuki Hayabusa, the MV Agusta F3 800 RR, and even Triumph’s beginner-friendly Trident 660.

Elsewhere, there is also the option to customise your bike’s livery, as well as your helmet and leather designs – with endurance racing available alongside shorter sprints.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, starting out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now cover around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career.
