MAVRIX by Matt Jones is expanding its reach, launching on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
Already available on Steam since 2025, the console release keeps the game firmly in Early Access / Game Preview, offering riders the chance to get involved while development continues.
Designed by professional mountain biker and Red Bull athlete Matt Jones, MAVRIX by Matt Jones isn’t positioning itself as a finished product. Instead, it arrives on console as an evolving experience, built around authenticity, creativity, and a shared passion for mountain biking culture.
A Mountain Built For Freedom And Expression
At its heart, MAVRIX by Matt Jones is about freedom on two wheels – but not the kind of two wheels you’ll find in the latest Tour de France game. Rather than pushing players down a rigid career path, it drops them into a vast open-world environment where exploration, competition, and creativity all coexist.
The world spans 100 square kilometres, packed with downhill race tracks, massive slopestyle lines, multiple bike parks, and hidden challenges. Whether riding solo or with friends, players are encouraged to define their own lines and discover the mountain at their own pace.
Realistic Physics That Reward Skill
One of the defining pillars of MAVRIX by Matt Jones is its commitment to authentic bike handling.
Using dual-stick controls, independent brake levers, and a fully physics-based handling and suspension system, every movement feels deliberate. Grip, balance, trick execution, and landings are all governed by rider input rather than canned animations.
The bespoke MAVRIX physics engine connects players directly to the bike, rewarding precision and control while allowing each rider to develop their own unique style.
Multiplayer Riding And Competitive Depth
MAVRIX by Matt Jones is built as a shared open world, not just a solo sandbox.
- Ride Together Or Chase The Leaderboards
- Players can ride with friends, session jumps, or push for leaderboard dominance through global rankings. Competitive riders can unlock rare items and climb the rankings, while others can focus on creative lines and technical mastery across the mountain.
Sponsorships, Progression And MTB Identity
Beyond riding, MAVRIX by Matt Jones leans heavily into the lifestyle of a professional mountain biker.
Players can sign sponsorship contracts, manage their career progression, and unlock bikes, components, and apparel from real-world MTB brands. Deep customisation allows riders to build a setup that reflects both their riding approach and personal identity.

An Experience Still In Motion
It’s important to stress that MAVRIX by Matt Jones remains a work in progress. Features may evolve, expand, or change entirely as development continues, and players purchasing now are doing so with the understanding that this is not a finished product.
That said, the game’s Mostly Positive reception on Steam suggests a strong foundation, and the move to console opens the door for a wider community to help shape its future.
Hitting The Trails Early On Console
With its arrival on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, MAVRIX by Matt Jones invites console players to get involved early, provide feedback, and experience a mountain biking game that prioritises realism and creativity over rigid structure.
If you’re comfortable jumping into an evolving experience – and like the idea of carving your own path rather than following a preset route – this Early Access release offers plenty of reasons to grab your helmet and head for the mountain.
This one comes with a free trial kicking around alongside the £29.99 asking price. Hit up the Xbox Store, the PlayStation Store or Steam page.
