Steam review

Before you try anything else

  1. Restart Steam so hotfix 1 downloads. Nacon says it arrives automatically.
  2. Verify the game files: right-click MXGP 26 in your library, Properties, Installed Files, Verify integrity.
  3. Update your graphics driver; the game is DirectX 12 only.

Performance problems have their own page: PC performance. Patch-by-patch changes are in the hotfix log.

Fix questions

Why is there no motor sound in MXGP 26?

Players reported it on launch day and Nacon has not listed a fix yet. Check the audio sliders, verify the game files in Steam and restart once hotfix 1 has downloaded.

MXGP 26 will not launch, what do I do?

Verify the files in Steam first. One launch player only got it running after uninstalling and reinstalling. Also make sure your GPU meets the GTX 1080 minimum.

Where do I report bugs?

Nacon points players to the #bug-report channel on the official MXGP 26 Discord, linked from its Steam posts.
