Kit up, rev those engines and get ready for the latest in the ever-increasingly long line of Monster Energy Supercross video games, as The Official Videogame 6 hits the start line.
Available from Milestone and Feld Motor Sports, releasing on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC is Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6.
As the name suggests, this is the sixth game in the franchise list, following on from those which have come before it. We’re expecting this one to be bigger, better and badder than before, taking what was first learnt in Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 1, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 2 and Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3, before seeing Milestone really hit home with Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 4 and Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5.
Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6 brings forth all the mud, sweat, tears and adrenaline that you would expect of a Supercross title, allowing you the chance to live life through the Monster Energy Supercross 2022 Championship. That means all official bikes, riders and tracks will be in place.
It also promises to be more realistic than ever, but easier to ride too, as you look to mark your mark on the Supercross world, taking in tips and tricks from your own personal coach – Jeremy McGrath, no less – as you build your skills.
With various locales in place, multiple challenges to tackle and the opportunity to take your Supercross skills into the online scene, this is qite possibly going to be the Supercross title you need in your life. Seeing as we dropped a big 4/5 review score to Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5, it’s going to have to go some to topple that.
Try it will though and in Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6 you’ll find the following feature set…
- YOUR PERSONAL COACH – Leave your mark in the Supercross world with the aid of your coach and mentor, the legendary Jeremy McGrath! Learn all of his tricks in the Supercross Academy and rely on his teachings to reach the peak of the Championship in a Career mode that is more immersive than ever. Rack up successes, impress the sponsors, race through unique rivalries, and become the Supercross world champion!
- LET’S GO FOR A RIDE – From the airport to the mine, from the mountain to the stadium, the new Supercross Park offers unique locations to explore on your own or with friends! Every area is connected by Supercross circuits and motocross tracks that you can use to practice, perform stunts, or simply take in the view.
- RHYTHM ATTACK – You. Your opponent. A straight road. Everything else is superfluous. Open the throttle and follow the flow to cross the finish line first in the new Rhythm Attack mode. Prove your worth, race after race, in the single elimination tournaments that take place in breathtaking locations like canyons and forests.”
- YOUR CHALLENGE, YOUR JOURNEY – Customise every part of your climb until you become the world champion! Ride your bike with an ultra-realistic feel, or take advantage of the riding aids. This way, you will always be able to approach each race with a style that suits your needs. Choose how to develop your rider’s skills and adjust each detail of your bike’s setup. And that’s not all! Build your ideal track with the Track Editor, create an unmistakable style with the Helmet Editor, and customise the rider and the bike thanks to a wide range of accessories.
- RACE ONLINE – Crossing the finish line before everyone else, performing perfect manoeuvres, riding for hundreds of miles on your bike – thanks to the new online ranking system, you can earn points and climb the leaderboards with these or other activities, or even by specialising in the ones you prefer. And everything is integrated with the new cross-play function, so you can play with your friends on any console!
Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6 is on the usual digital store. The Xbox Store will cover what you need for Xbox One and – optimised – on Xbox Series X|S. Similar will happen at the PlayStation Store or PC equivalent. You’ll find some cross-play available on console too, so the online scenes should be thriving. £59.99 certainly ain’t cheap, but we’re sure this is going to appeal to a good few racers.
There are some additional DLC packs to consider a purchase of too. You’ll find the Pixel Black Customisation Pack and Thunderstorm Customisation Pack both costing £1.69, whilst a helping credits hand comes in the form of a Credits Multiplier Pack for £3.99.
Stick around for our review. We’re currently caked in mud and recovering from some broken limbs after spending a first few hours with Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6. Once we recover, we’ll deliver some thoughts.
