MXGP 26 Set for Release on 1 October 2026
Publisher Nacon has revealed the official launch date and fresh gameplay for MXGP 26, scheduled to arrive on 1 October 2026.
Publisher Nacon has confirmed that MXGP 26, the official simulation of the FIM Motocross World Championship, will launch on 1 October 2026. The announcement was accompanied by a new gameplay showcase highlighting the latest iteration of the franchise.
Developed by Artefacts Studio, MXGP 26 represents Nacon's second official motocross championship title. Following the lukewarm reception of the 2024 edition, the publisher opted to pause the series to rebuild the game on Unreal Engine 5 while fundamentally reworking the underlying simulation physics.
The upcoming title introduces an extensive rider customisation suite featuring officially licensed gear, spanning helmets, boots, pants, jerseys, gloves, and goggles. Artefacts Studio has also replaced placeholder engine audio with final recordings, implemented flexible field-of-view camera adjustments, and detailed the interactive paddock environments.
Pre-orders will include exclusive liveries created by Scrubdesignz. In addition, players who purchase the Fox Holeshot Edition will gain early access to the game starting 28 September.
