MXGP 26 PC Requirements and Performance Tips

Steam store checked: October 1, 2026

Windows only: Steam lists no Mac or Linux build, and Valve has not rated it for Steam Deck yet.

What launch players report

• An RTX 3070 owner reports the game still looks choppy on low settings, which is the recommended card.
• A player on an RTX 4070 Ti runs 1080p with the internal resolution at 75%, some Epic settings and a 90 FPS cap, and says the GPU sits around 65°C in races.
• A French review calls it a typical unoptimised Unreal Engine 5 game and points to the lack of upscaling options.
• A comment in the button-mapping thread says you cannot lock the frame rate in the menus.

Settings to try first

1. Drop the internal resolution scale before touching anything else. Without DLSS or FSR it is the biggest single gain; 75% at 1080p is what the 4070 Ti player settled on.
2. Cap the frame rate in your GPU driver if the game will not do it, at a value your PC holds in a full 20-rider gate. Steady frames matter more than peak frames over bumps.
3. Lower global illumination and shadow quality; a player in the hotfix thread named global illumination as the setting they would happily lose.
4. Install on an SSD. Both spec tiers recommend it.
