About This Game
Quick Overview
MotoGP 15 is a motorcycle racing sim based on the 2015 MotoGP championship, featuring MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3 riders across 18 official tracks. It was developed and published by Milestone S.r.l. and released on PC on June 23, 2015.
Compared to MotoGP 13, this entry feels more complete and more focused on career progression. The big addition is the ability to create your own Personal Team, choose a name and logo, customize liveries, earn GP Credits, attract sponsors, and build your way up through the racing world. The game also includes improved AI, updated physics, Beat the Time mode, Real Events, Time Attack, Championship, Grand Prix, and online racing for up to 12 players.
Who Should Play This Game?
You should play MotoGP 15 if you enjoy official motorcycle racing, licensed riders, realistic circuits, and games where braking, cornering, and throttle control matter. It is a good pick for MotoGP fans who want an older but fuller racing game with career depth and plenty of official content.
It is also worth playing if you like racing games where small improvements feel rewarding. Learning when to brake, how to lean into corners, and how to keep the bike stable can be more satisfying than simply holding the accelerator. The Personal Team system also gives you a stronger reason to keep racing beyond single events.
You may not enjoy it if you want modern graphics, current riders, or easy arcade handling. MotoGP 15 is older now, and bike racing can feel unforgiving if you are used to car games or casual racers.
Performance on PC
MotoGP 15 is light for modern PCs but heavier than MotoGP 13. The minimum specs list Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8 / 8.1, an Intel Core i3-530 / AMD Phenom II X4 850, 4 GB RAM, a GTX 460 1GB / Radeon HD 6790 1GB, DirectX 10, and 30 GB of storage.
For recommended settings, Steam lists Windows 7/8/8.1 64-bit, an Intel Core i7-3770 / AMD FX-8350, a GTX 780 / Radeon R9 290X, DirectX 11, and the same 30 GB storage requirement. Laptop GPU versions are noted as not officially supported.
On most current gaming PCs, it should run smoothly at 1080p. The bigger issue today may be compatibility with newer Windows versions, since the original requirements were made for older operating systems. For the best racing feel, prioritize stable FPS over max settings because clean braking, corner timing, and input response matter more than visual detail.
