Milestone And MotoGP™ are delighted to announce the release of MotoGP™24 ! The brand new chapter of the official video game MotoGP™ is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™ and Steam.
Marking a turning point in the history of the franchise, MotoGP™24 offers for the first time the driver market, highly requested by the community. From this year, drivers from all categories will have the opportunity to change teams but also to progress from one class to another. Thus, players will see their team evolve with each season of the game, which will allow them to take on new challenges and experience new exciting scenarios each year.

The possibilities are endless, since the AI and players can be asked to change teams based on their performance on the track. Additionally, to reflect the dynamics of real negotiations, rider decisions managed by the AI will not only be based on the current value of other bikes, but also on their potential future developments. For example, if a mid-ranking team consistently performs well, proving they are on the right track, they might be able to sign a top rider despite not being an immediate contender for the title. The Driver Market will add key adventure moments, rivalries and the fictional social network introduced last year to create a journey around each player's performance and choices. The driver market will follow and accentuate this philosophy. The evolution of rivalries, as well as likes and replies on the fictional social network, will fuel rumors about possible future transfers. Players will be able to follow these developments through a dedicated career mode menu.
To bring the gaming experience even closer to reality, MotoGP™24 also introduces MotoGP™ Stewards. Throughout the weekend, they will supervise the race and any timed sessions, disciplining the drivers and AI alike for their behaviors on the circuit. Players, like the AI, will suffer consequences for their rule infractions. Sanctions will include: warnings, a long penalty lap, time penalties, the obligation to give up position in the event of unfair overtaking and may go as far as the cancellation of qualifying times. Additionally, reckless driving will only fuel rivalries with other drivers.
In addition to improved neural aids introduced last year, Milestone has developed a new adaptive difficulty system that will significantly help all players, from novices to experts. This brand new solution takes into account a set of factors and measurements. All this will be done in real time to calibrate the level of opponents based on player performance throughout races and sessions. It thus offers a tailor-made gaming experience by guaranteeing a racing pace that is always reasonable and consistent between the competitors.
Adaptive difficulty will allow all fans to take full advantage of the AI and physics improvements made by the Milan team. The AI has been refined to replicate the way real drivers approach the race. Experienced champions will wait for the ideal moment to launch the winning attack, while beginners will try to prove themselves without delay. Regarding the physics of the game, the management of the turn entry and exit phases has been revised to offer much more tolerant gameplay than in previous versions. With a more flexible power system, players can now reach the limits of physical possibilities in a more controlled manner. This will give them more opportunities to show off their talents while enjoying maximum realism. Tire management has also been changed to ensure that all compounds perform on each circuit, while maintaining a distinct feel for each tire type.
