Among the most important updates of MotoGP 23 is the career mode design, intended to give players the freedom to build their own path to becoming a two-wheeled legend. Indeed, the introduction of Turning Points will influence career paths based on performance and the decisions each player makes. After debuting in the final stage of a Moto3 season, players can advance more quickly through different classes depending on their results. However, securing a contract will not be easy, as each team will have only two spots and players will have to compete with official pilots to earn their place. Turning Points will also affect motorcycle development during seasonal tests, with dedicated challenges to accelerate evolution. This year, rivalries won’t be limited to the track: for the first time ever, MotoGP 23 will feature a social network to interact with riders, teams and manufacturers. Just like in real life, this will be the place to form friendships — or annoy rivals — since the AI will behave differently during races depending on how players act on the social network.
Highly requested by the community, two brand-new features will elevate the simulation to a completely new level of realism. Thanks to the introduction of Dinamic Weather, a dry race can quickly turn into a wet chaos where skill and strategy will make the difference. The race can therefore be declared a Flag-to-Flag with the option to return to the pits and change gear for a strategic advantage. Advanced AI will finally ensure that on-track behaviour of the riders more closely matches their real-world racing style, as each rider will have a unique personality that will directly influence their actions during races. To meet the needs of both seasoned players and newcomers, new driving aids for braking, acceleration, and handling will offer a gameplay experience that is both accessible and ambitious, so everyone can experience the thrill of real MotoGP, regardless of their initial skill level. Furthermore, the acclaimed MotoGP Academy returns to help players learn the basics or refine their style with dedicated training sessions.
MotoGP 23 will also offer many multiplayer options, both online and offline. For the first time, cross-play will allow players to race against each other regardless of platform or console generation, while the new ranked races will ensure fair competition by matching players of similar skill. The local split-screen for two players is also returning, allowing players to challenge friends side by side on the couch.
Finally, helmet, sticker, race number, and “butt patch” graphic editors will allow players to showcase their own style, making their journey through MotoGP even more unique.
