Bridgestone, a global leader in tyres and sustainable mobility solutions, is continuing its partnership with game developer and publisher, Milestone, on the latest instalment of its RIDE videogame series. Launching today, RIDE 6 is the most ambitious and complete chapter of the motorcycle racing franchise, with new bikes, terrains and tracks, and the latest Bridgestone tyres. <\/span><\/p>\n

After partnering with Milestone on RIDE 4 and RIDE 5, Bridgestone returns as the game\u2019s official tyre supplier, bringing its real-world premium motorcycle tyres to the virtual circuit. With new dual-physics gameplay, RIDE 6 players worldwide can experience the performance and durability that Bridgestone tyres deliver to riders every day, on the road, track and trail.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRIDE 6 is the most realistic and wide-ranging entry in the series so far, and that makes it the ideal platform to showcase our large premium motorcycle tyre portfolio and its performance,\u201d said Nico Thuy, Director Motorcycle at Bridgestone EMEA. \u201cWith expanded modes, new features and a stronger Bridgestone presence throughout the experience than ever before, the game takes our long-standing partnership with Milestone to the next level. Through the RIDE series, we\u2019re both strengthening our leadership in motorcycle tyres and showcasing our racing legacy in a fun, engaging way to riders and gamers worldwide.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The most immersive RIDE experience yet<\/b><\/h3>\n

New to RIDE 6 is the RIDE Fest career mode, where players can step into the shoes of a real rider and have the chance to become the number one by racing against 10 two-wheel legends such as Casey Stoner, Guy Martin and Troy Bayliss. RIDE Fest includes a dedicated \u2018Bridgestone Challenge\u2019 chapter, giving players the chance to experience Bridgestone tyres across disciplines and surfaces, from circuit racing to endurance. Additionally, in another first for the partnership, Bridgestone is the official sponsor of the revamped RIDE 6 Riding School, the game\u2019s training section where players can take their skills to the next level through dedicated tutorials. <\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing on the tyre company\u2019s long-standing heritage and success in motorcycle racing \u2013 including in the FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) \u2013 tyre performance and durability are integral to the RIDE 6 experience. As in real racing, virtual riders must manage tyre wear, adapt to changing conditions and make strategic decisions \u2013 making tyres a key factor in performance and progression within the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on its presence in RIDE 5, Bridgestone features more prominently throughout RIDE 6, with branding integrated across tracks, menus and gameplay.<\/span><\/p>\n
