Reaching full global release will be the most significant milestone for MAVRIX to date. After a year of community-driven development through Early Access, the full release brings a wave of new competitive modes, fresh content, and major technical improvements.
“Reaching 1.0 and launching on Game Pass is a huge moment for us,” said Matt Jones, professional mountain biker, Red Bull athlete, and creator of MAVRIX. “We’ve worked hard to make the riding feel right – that sense of flow, freedom, and control that defines mountain biking. The new Head-to-Head modes bring that insane energy of real competition into the game, and opening it all up to so many new players through Game Pass is incredibly exciting. This is the moment our community has been building towards with us since day one.”
What’s new for full release?
This significant update introduces a whole host of key new gameplay features alongside the move to a full release:
- Head-to-Head modes – new live competitive modes for racing and slopestyle. Compete in real time against up to four other players, either to post the highest score in slopestyle or to be first across the line in a race.
- Daily Rivals – beat the time or score set by a similarly ranked rival each day to earn an XP boost and rank up your rider more quickly.
- New trails – since Early Access launch the team have added a huge amount of trails, with 9 race trails and 11 slopestyle trails, plus a whole bunch of free-ride lines.
- Smoother animation – a new prediction system lets jump and trick animations begin earlier, giving a noticeably improved sense of flow.
- Time of Day option – a new setting lets you choose your lighting, including that perfect Golden Hour ride.
Reflecting on the new features, Cascade Interactive commented: “During Early Access, it was clear that our community loved riding together and figuring out the best lines to maximise scores and reduce times. We’re so excited to create head-to-head racing and slopestyle as a dedicated feature for our players. It truly captures the essence of mountain biking and it’s bound to be a hit for new MAVRIX players too!”
Coming to Xbox Game Pass and Play Anywhere
MAVRIX will join Xbox Game Pass on launch day for the first time, giving members instant access to the full release. As an Xbox Play Anywhere title, progress and saves carry across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and compatible handhelds including the ROG Ally, so players can drop in wherever they ride. This partnership opens the game up to millions of players, providing an on ramp into an authentic mountain bike experience.
