Milestone has just announced LAUGH 6, a new installment in its franchise dedicated to two-wheel enthusiasts, presented as the most ambitious and comprehensive chapter of the series. The game will be released on February 12, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Epic Games Store, with a early access from February 9th.
The objective is clear: to push the realism of motorcycle simulation even further, while making the experience more accessible than before – a trend that is confirmed in this new generation.
A Career mode in the style of a "traveling festival"
The heart of RIDE 6 lies in a career mode that is new to the series: RIDE FestPresented as a global festival, it adopts a progression system spirit where you embody a real pilot seeking to climb the ranks to first place.
A major new development for the franchise: 10 legends of two wheels will be truly present in the career, including Casey Stoner, Troy bayliss or, Guy MartinA historic first for the series, which enhances the immersion and the "competition" aspect that fans have been demanding for years.
A monstrous garage: over 340 motorcycles and 21 manufacturers
Milestone promises the biggest lineup of motorcycles ever seen in RIDE :
- +340 motorcycles
- 21 manufacturers
- 7 categories represented
- And two notable new features:
- The Bagger
- The Maxi Enduro
This will greatly vary the riding experience. The Baggers, huge machines with a muscular touring style, and the Maxi Enduros, designed for adventure, will open the door to racing styles never before seen in RIDE.
45 tracks around the world… including off-road tracks for the first time
RIDE 6 will offer 45 tracks issues:
- iconic real-world circuits,
- road layouts,
- of fictional circuits,
- and even go-kart tracks very technical.
Another major new development here: the emergence of the all-terrain vehicleThis is a first for the franchise. It could profoundly renew the experience, with surfaces that demand a completely different approach in terms of grip, trajectories, suspension…
Unreal Engine 5: more beautiful, more realistic, more alive
For this episode, Milestone switches to Unreal Engine 5. In the program :
- enhanced visual details
- A more authentic sound atmosphere
- more natural lighting
- more detailed models
The RIDE series has always been technically sound, but a new generation engine could finally eliminate some of the limitations felt in RIDE 4 and 5.
Simulation or arcade: RIDE 6 wants to please everyone
Milestone introduced for the first time two levels of experience :
✔️ Pro Mode
For motorcycle sim racing purists:
- Physically demanding
- customizable aids
- maximum realism
- sharper motorcycle behavior
✔️ Arcade Mode
For new players or those who prefer a simpler learning curve:
- more permissive braking
- more lenient behavior
- better accessibility
This dual system could finally solve a recurring problem: RIDE has long been considered too arcade-like for sim racers, and too much simulation by casual players.
A completely redesigned flight school
THEpilot school makes her return, but Milestone announces that she has been rebuilt from scratch :
- new challenges
- rewards system
- Progression adapted to both game modes
This provides a real learning space before tackling the most difficult circuits.
Cross-play multiplayer + local split-screen
RIDE 6 is clearly focused on competition:
- Cross-play multiplayer (all platforms combined)
- Local split-screen mode (rare in 2025/2026)
In addition, the Race Creator will allow you to create your own events, races, rules and conditions.
Customization: motorcycles, helmets, suits
As usual, Milestone is placing a strong emphasis on aesthetics:
- motorcycle editor
- painting / deliveries
- helmets
- jumpsuits
The goal: to allow everyone to display their style, whether solo or multiplayer.
RIDE 6 could very well be the new benchmark in modern motorcycle simulation.
