Development
On September 15, 2014, Milestone announced the development of Ride, a motorcycle racing video game. The studio had previously developed racing games within the licensed series World Rally Championship, MotoGP, SBK and MXGP.
Reception
Many reviewers described the game as "Gran Turismo with bikes." It was also noted as being more accessible to newcomers than other bike games. One complaint was the long loading times. The game reached number 10 in the UK PS3 sales charts, and number 13 in the PS4 charts.
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.
