MotoGP 25 Delivers Next-Gen Racing on Nintendo Switch: Release Date, Features, and Gameplay Details

Milestone, the renowned developer behind the acclaimed MotoGP series, has officially announced the release date of the highly anticipated MotoGP 25 for Nintendo Switch.

Set to launch globally on April 30, 2025, MotoGP 25 brings a wealth of new features and technical advancements to the franchise, ensuring fans on the Nintendo Switch platform will experience the next evolution in motorcycle racing gaming. MotoGP 25 continues Milestone’s tradition of faithfully recreating the exhilarating world of professional motorcycle racing.

As with previous entries, the game will include every official rider and circuit from the 2025 season, spanning the flagship MotoGP class, as well as Moto2 and Moto3 championships.

Notable racetracks such as Brno in Czechia and Balaton Park in Hungary are confirmed among the lineup, showcasing the series’ commitment to authenticity and global reach. One of MotoGP 25’s headline features is the introduction of “Training Sessions,” a major innovation that allows players to step away from standard competition and hone their skills across multiple disciplines.

Players can participate in Motard, Flat Track, and Minibikes events, each offering unique challenges on original tracks immersed in visually stunning environments.

This new feature supports both newcomers and veteran players, delivering a comprehensive training ground to master the nuances of motorcycle racing. Milestone has also made the game more accessible with its new Arcade Experience.

This simplified racing mode is available across all bikes and gameplay modes, enabling players of any skill level to dive into the action without the complexities of detailed simulation.

For those seeking a more authentic motorsport simulation, the Pro Experience is also available, providing advanced handling, customizable bike setups, and deeper control over racing dynamics, such as tire management, electronics, and fuel consumption. MotoGP 25 leverages Unreal Engine 5 to deliver vastly improved graphics and environmental fidelity on Nintendo Switch.

Bike sound design has received significant attention as well, with developer Milestone utilizing dedicated live recording sessions to deliver a more immersive and realistic audio experience than ever before. Fan-favorite features make a return in the latest release.

The Riders Market and FIM MotoGP Stewards are back, the latter now better aligned with the latest racing regulations to monitor conduct and maintain fairness.

Building on player feedback, an expanded Bike Development System has been introduced, allowing fans to guide their team’s engineering efforts in post-race debriefs and specific testing sessions throughout the season. Off the track, a robust Social Relationships Management system lets players monitor and interact with rivals, influencing how competitions and rivalries evolve over the season.

The impact of conduct and performance is tangible, directly affecting the opportunities available in the Riders Market—a core aspect for those seeking to create their legacy within MotoGP. MotoGP 25 also empowers player creativity through enhanced editor tools.

From helmet and sticker customization to race numbers and the all-new podium emotes, fans will have unprecedented freedom to personalize their experience.

Notably, Milestone shared that a player-designed helmet from a previous game became a real-world helmet worn by Maverick Viñales during the 2023 San Marino GP, underscoring the community’s integral role in the franchise. With its release scheduled for April 30, 2025, on Nintendo Switch and boasting an array of innovations, MotoGP 25 promises to set a new standard for racing simulation on the console.

Stay tuned for more updates and trailers as Milestone gears up for launch on the Nintendo eShop and physical retail.
