GTA 5

Manufacturer

Grand Theft Auto 5.

Let’s come to a game that every video gamer is very likely to know. GTA is the abbreviation for Grand Theft Auto and a game series that is not primarily concerned with motorcycles. Much more, thanks to an open world, players have virtually no limits. In this respect, it is also possible to explore the huge fictional game world, which is based on Los Angeles, by motorcycle. Racing, joining a motorcycle gang, car chases, stunts? Everything possible. With the latest offshoot of one of the most successful game series, motorcycle fans have to do without official manufacturers – nevertheless, the game is highly recommended. Incidentally, the game is aimed at adult gamers. GTA 5 is available for PS4, Xbox One and Steam (Windows). Owners of the previous consoles from Sony (PS 3) and MIcrosoft (Xbox 360) will also be delighted with suitable versions. In the previous games, which are available for older consoles and still available for Steam (Windows), motorcycles could be controlled in a similar way.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Manufacturer

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Similar to GTA, the title Mario Kart should be familiar to most people. Even with Mario Kart, the focus is not exclusively on motorcycles. The game contains lots of characters from the Nintendo universe who compete against each other on brightly colored fantasy racetracks. The latest title right now is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. Incidentally, the game is also ideal for children and multiplayer who are not so keen on simulation-heavy gameplay.

Days gone

Days gone.

If you want to combine virtual motorcycling and eliminating zombies, Days Gone is in good hands. The action-adventure game, available exclusively for PS4, takes place in an apocalyptic and open game world and, like GTA, is not suitable for children. In order to be able to move successfully through the large game world, the main protagonist’s motorcycle can be upgraded. If you are looking for a mixture of motorcycling and action and a touch "Horror" could spend some wonderful hours with Days Gone.

Watch Dogs / Watch Dogs 2

Manufacturer

Watch Dogs 2.

Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2 are similar in terms of the gameplay to Grand Theft Auto 5 presented above. Here, too, players enter an open game world in which motorcycles are only a small part of the game. In the first part, players travel through a fictional, but Chicago-based city. In part 2, however, the developers oriented themselves to San Francisco. On real manufacturers like Ducati, Honda & Co., however, gamers have to do without both parts of Watch Dogs due to the lack of licenses. Both games are available on all current gaming platforms mentioned in this article except the Nintendo Switch.

DriveClub bikes

Manufacturer

DriveClub bikes.

DriveClub Bikes is a motorcycle game that is available for the PS4 and is an expansion of the car racing game DriveClub. The game should be more arcade-oriented and not take aspects such as real driving physics that seriously. Even less experienced players should get along with DriveClub bikes relatively quickly. In addition to conventional races, players can also take advantage of other challenges, such as wheelie challenges. An online mode is also integrated. In the basic version of the game, pilots can choose from 12 different models from BMW, KTM, Yamaha, Ducati and Kawasaki.

Moto Rush GT

Manufacturer

Moto Rush GT.

Moto Rush GT is also an arcade-heavy racer that is available for the Nintendo Switch. Players have to forego licensed motorcycles here. According to the manufacturer, a total of 100 routes should be available. Incidentally, the game is compatible with the so-called Nintendo Labo Toy Con, which means that the game is also ideal for children. For those who don’t know what the term Labo Toy Con means, here is a brief explanation: Nintendo has been offering cardboard craft kits for some time, with which various objects can be recreated yourself. Thanks to the handheld format, the console can then be coupled with various objects. For Moto Rush GT, for example, a motorcycle handlebar can be recreated with the console integrated in the middle. Incidentally, the game is only available as a digital version.

Conclusion

Video gamers who also want to ride a motorcycle on the console or PC have a large selection of various titles. In any case, boredom should not arise.
