MotoGP 24

MotoGP 24 is the official game based on the MotoGP championship and another yearly addition to the long-running series from the Italian studio Milestone, which has held the license for this series for many years now. The game features the full starting grid of the current season, including the Moto2 and Moto3 classes, licensed riders, teams and all tracks from the current calendar, and it emphasizes a simulation-style riding model in which working the brake, throttle and lean angle in corners, as well as how the tires behave as they wear over time, play a key role. The career mode lets players go through an entire riding career from the lower classes up to the premier category, including negotiating contracts with teams based on results achieved.

On PlayStation 5, the game runs at high resolution with a stable frame rate, which is essential for reading rivals' lines and precise braking points at high speeds exceeding three hundred kilometers per hour. DualSense haptic feedback conveys engine vibrations and signals loss of traction on the front and rear wheel while leaning, while the adaptive triggers simulate brake lever resistance based on how hard it's squeezed. The race presentation tries to mimic MotoGP television broadcasts, including results graphics, commentary and the authentic sound of engines from individual manufacturers such as Ducati, Yamaha or Honda.

The MotoGP series has long been considered the standard licensed motorcycle racing simulation, and the individual yearly installments tend to be judged mainly on small improvements to the riding model, opponent AI and career mode compared to the previous year. For fans of the MotoGP series, it's a natural choice on PlayStation 5, offering both a demanding simulation for advanced players and more accessible assist settings for less experienced ones. Besides the main career, the game also offers online championships and time trials, where players from around the world compare themselves on identical tracks and conditions.
