I’m looking for good Steam games to wishlist for the Steam Summer Sale coming soon. Mainly, I’m looking for any open-world game that features motorbikes/motorcycles as drivable vehicles.
It doesn’t have to be a racing game. (Side tangent: I wish Forza Horizon 6, or any Forza game, had motorbikes in it.)
Games I already have that do have bikes in them:
- Cyberpunk 2077
- GTA IV and V
- Burnout Paradise
- Just Cause 2 and 3
- Saints Row 2, 3 and 4
- Watch_Dogs 1, 2, and Legion
Also, please only recommend games that can still be purchased (mainly on Steam).
Fun fact about Watch Dogs (Only the first? I didn’t play enough of 2):
The bikes were easy to use, and actively one of the first vehicles I, and many others, got. But Watch Dogs has an “invasion” PvP multiplayer system (or used to, that game will never be as fun filled as it was when I first played :/ ) where you would attempt to “hack” another player by following them not being noticed for a while. Thing is: NPCs can’t ride motorcycles. When you are out and about on a bike, and you see someone else out and about on a bike… Best trick for finding those invaders.
days gone
Defo this one is all about crankin yer hawg
Such a good game! Shame the sequel was cancelled.
Still mad about that. I want to see how the story ends.
I was actually reading about some famous unfinished works a few days ago. Like stories and pieces of music. Oddly enough I quite like the sense of mystery that goes with pieces of art that are left unfinished. I guess Days Gone falls into that category now.
Despite that, I still think it’s best when stories do get finished just for the closure it brings.
7 days to die is an open world zombie survival game. Getting the motorcycle is a slog, it’s practically an end game item. But once acquired, it’s totally badass.
I was going to suggest 7 days to die as well. Great game to play with friends.
You can go ahead and add Skyrim to your list
I don’t think Skyrim has motorbikes (also I already have it), unless you’re talking about mods.
Their link is to a mod page that adds motorbikes to the game.
Lego City Undercover, Marvel Superheroes, and DC Super-Villains. Definitely not the primary gameplay focus, but all three have an open-world map that you hop on a Lego motorcycle and cruise around between levels. There’s even some racing challenges here and there to put your motorbike to good use.
I really loved LCU, glad it was ported to other platforms.
I believe Sleeping Dogs has bikes as well. Love that game.
My Summer Car
The original Crew. You can get it for cheap/free, slap on the TCU patch and drive motorbikes accross a spectacularly large continental US.
I though The Crew got delisted? Wasn’t that what the SKG was about?
For a while last year you could still get it for a symbolic 1€ iirc. And there is always the seven seas option.
Death Stranding, if trike count.
Would Days Gone count for this? It didn’t hold my attention, but it seems pretty centered around a motorbike.
I found the motorcycle driving in this game to be painful. Your ride is one of the things that you upgrade, so at the beginning, your bike is slow, can’t turn, and runs out of gas after a mile. It does get better, but early game is frustrating.
Sleeping Dogs - I’m pretty sure it’s only on console, but imo it’s absolutely worth the time and effort to track one down if you don’t already have one just to play it.
Project Zomboid - while there aren’t motorcycles in the base game (yet), there are a few great mods that add different types of bikes to drive around the map.
Nah, Sleeping Dogs is on Steam.
Fuck yes.

Definitely on steam and definitely has bikes. Overall the driving/riding is a good line of realistic and fun.
Hell yes
Looks real interesting, and it’s on Steam. Definitely wishlisting. Thanks!
Breath of the Wild, though the motorcycle is a bonus item not really an integral part of the game.
Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint
The Crew Motorfest, it’s Forza Horizon with motorbikes
I played the MX vs ATV games years ago as a kid and they were heaps of fun then. No idea what the new ones are like but legends is cheap at the moment on steam and seem to get good reviews. Definitely a more pure racing game though than the others on your list.
