Release Date: April 10, 2025
The seventh installment in a series of motorcycle racing games, created by Milestone and featuring an official license of Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. The biggest feature in Monster Energy Supercross 25 is switching the game's engine to Unreal Engine 5, allowing for dynamic surface deformation system and greatly improved visuals.
Monster Energy Supercross 25 is a continuation of the Monster Energy Supercross 6 game from 2023. The Italian studio Milestone dedicated an additional year of development (previous installments of the series were released every twelve months) to transition to the Unreal Engine 5. This was also done to "catch up" with the Monster Energy AMA Supercross championship calendar, which this cycle replicates.
Monster Energy Supercross 25 is a motocross-themed game, focused on motorcycle racing on gravel, sand, and other loose surfaces. The driving model strikes a balance between realism and accessible gameplay for a wide range of audiences. The developer has introduced broad changes in this field compared to the previous version, especially regarding control over the machine in the air.
The game reflects the 2025 season of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross championships - it includes real tracks, motorcycles and competitors (although there are also fictional tracks). Interestingly, thanks to the plans provided by the organizers, Milestone studio was able to build digital counterparts of the planned tracks before their actual versions were created (usually they are piled up in stadiums and exist only for a few days).
The foundation of the game is the single-player career mode, in which we try to win the Monster Energy AMA Supercross championship, participating in various trials or challenges and improving our motorcycle. In addition to this, there is no shortage of other modes to compete with other players.
Thanks to the use of Unreal Engine 5, Monster Energy Supercross series has made a technological leap forward. Its main feature is a dynamic surface deformation system, thanks to which conditions on the track can change every lap under the influence of motorcycle wheels. UE5 also allowed for the use of more advanced artificial intelligence algorithms for virtual opponents (Neural AI).
Just like the previous installments, Monster Energy Supercross 25 allows us to design our own tracks, as well as paint the motorcycle and modify the rider's outfit - helmet, suit and gloves.

MKAU Gaming: 8 / 10 by Hayden Nelson
Monster Energy Supercross 25- The Official video proves to be a fantastic instalment in the series. The updates are evident throughout the game, delivering a fresh and enhanced experience for the player base.
GamingBolt: 6 / 10 by Matthew Carmosino
This latest entry in the niche Supercross series is being billed as a reboot-thanks largely to its Unreal Engine 5 overhaul-but it hardly feels like one. Despite the visual upgrades, the same stiff rider animations and shallow Career mode make it feel more like a seasonal refresh than a true reinvention. I came in hoping for another fun, adrenaline-fueled bike game, but inconsistent physics and underwhelming features left me cold, especially considering the franchise's rich heritage and unique concept.
DualShockers: 7 / 10 by Ethan Krieger
Monster Energy Supercross 25 is a tough to pick up, but rewarding to learn racing sim. The new physics, courtesy of Unreal Engine 5, makes this iteration of the series more realistic than ever, with ever-evolving track surfaces that make every lap different and exciting with each new attempt.
