MAVRIX, the high-adrenaline open world mountain biking game, has just dropped its first official trailer, giving fans an exciting first look at the most authentic mountain biking game yet. Designed by Red Bull athlete Matt Jones and developed by Third Kind Games, MAVRIX is the first mountain biking game created by a MTB pro rider, featuring realistic bike physics, dual-stick controls, and a massive handcrafted open world that delivers a creative, technical, fully sendable ride that feels true to the sport.
MAVRIX delivers an authentic and extreme digital mountain biking experience set in a vast open world inspired by the Welsh mountains, where players launch off cliffs, rip through forest trails, and compete in thrilling 50-player mass start races. Combining realistic handling and precise controls with creative freedom, it lets players style tricks, chase clean landings, or simply send it.
Matt Jones’ real-world riding expertise shapes the physics and control system to authentically mirror true mountain biking. Dual-stick controls and independent braking give players complete freedom to express their style while meeting the sport’s technical demands. The game also features live Red Bull event integration, bringing real-world competitions directly into the gameplay, allowing the community to ride alongside the action as it unfolds.
Even before launch, MAVRIX has built a passionate community of over 60,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Discord, drawn by its pro athlete-backed promise of high-adrenaline multiplayer action and authentic riding. Featuring 100 square kilometers of varied terrain with online races, time trials, and technical challenges, MAVRIX offers an exciting playground that blends technical skill with pure fun for adventure sports fans.
When players join MAVRIX, they’re guided through an engaging first-time experience that introduces core controls, gameplay, and trail discovery. The core loop encourages players to find trails and challenges, complete them, earn Moolah, and unlock custom gear. Each trail has its own global leaderboard, with race commentary from Red Bull legend and ex-World Cup winner Rob Warner, the voice featured in the trailer. Completing challenges builds reputation and earns Moolah, the in-game currency used to customise bikes, components, and clothing.
To further the gameplay experience, MAVRIX features a sponsorship system that mirrors a real MTB career. As players complete challenges and grow their reputation, new contracts become available, offering better deals and exclusive items. Public reputation levels also add another social and competitive element to the game. A POV camera mode, toggled with a single button, provides a heightened sense of speed and control, along with multiplayer join codes that let friends ride together on the same server.
“I’m stoked to finally give fans a glimpse of MAVRIX, a game that truly captures the heart and soul of mountain biking,” says Matt Jones, MAVRIX creator and professional mountain biker. “It’s been a lot of hard work to build a game that truly reflects the spirit of mountain biking, and seeing it come to life is incredibly rewarding. I’m really looking forward to players diving in, mastering the controls, and pushing their limits. And this is just the beginning.”
Launching into Early Access this summer on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store MAVRIX invites players to explore, compete, and build their own mountain biking legacy in a game built by riders, for riders.
