MAVRIX: The Ultimate Open-World Mountain Biking Game By Pro Red Bull Rider Matt Jones Coming Soon to PC
Get ready for MAVRIX, the ultimate, open-world, multiplayer, mountain biking game created by pro rider and Red Bull athlete Matt Jones. Developed by Third Kind Games, a team with a wealth of experience on titles such as Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves, MAVRIX challenges players within an open-world that spans 100 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from downhill tracks and massive slopestyle lines to expansive bike parks. Built by riders, for riders, MAVRIX delivers an unparalleled MTB experience and will launch into early access on Steam and Epic Games Store in Summer 2025.
MAVRIX’s open mountain biking world, inspired by the rugged landscapes of Wales, encourages exploration, creativity, and fierce competition, with 50 players able to race or define their own lines through the terrain together. Ride with friends, discover hidden challenges, and launch off huge jumps together. Global leaderboards let players compete on the world stage for rare items and real-world prizes like event tickets, exclusive experiences, and MTB gear. Plus, MAVRIX integrates real-time Red Bull MTB events, letting players engage with the action as it unfolds.
The game’s authentic physics and control system connect players with their bikes like never before. With dual stick controls, independent brake levers, and a detailed suspension system, riders can balance grip, stomp tricks, and ride with precision. This immersive system gives players the freedom to express their unique style while staying true to the technical aspects of the sport.
MAVRIX takes it a step further with a sponsorship system, letting players step into the shoes of a professional rider - signing contracts, managing their careers, and building their own MTB identity. Players can also pursue sponsorship deals with real-world brands, bringing an authentic touch to the MTB experience. The game also offers extensive customisation with a wide range of bikes, clothing, and components from real-world MTB brands, giving players the edge in every race.
For those looking to create viral moments, MAVRIX lets players capture all the action with POV views and drone footage creating opportunities to fine-tune their riding style and share their best moments with the world from every angle. As the game grows, expect fresh product placements and sponsorship upgrades that elevate the experience for MTB fans around the world.

We’ve built a world where players can truly express themselves and connect with the sport on a whole new level.”
“MAVRIX is what happens when a world-class athlete is given the tools, team, and platform to design and develop a world-class game," says Jono Jones, Co-Founder of Cascade Interactive.
