Ride is a motorcycle racing video game developed and published by Milestone S.r.l.. The game was released on March 27, 2015, in Europe, and it was meant to be released on June 23, 2015 in North America for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 but was delayed to October 6, 2015.[1][2]

Development

On September 15, 2014, Milestone announced the development of Ride, a motorcycle racing video game.[3] The studio had previously developed racing games within the licensed series World Rally Championship, MotoGP, SBK and MXGP.[4]

Reception

Many reviewers described the game as "Gran Turismo with bikes."[6][7][8] It was also noted as being more accessible to newcomers than other bike games.[8] One complaint was the long loading times.[6] The game reached number 10 in the UK PS3 sales charts, and number 13 in the PS4 charts.[9]

Sequel

On May 27, 2016, Ride 2 was announced with a teaser, due for release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The sequel is said to feature over 200 bikes from 15 different categories (opposed to the 4 categories in the original game), and improved customization options. Ride 2 was released for PC on October 7, 2016, and for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on February 14, 2017.[10]
