MX vs ATV Legends - 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship

I've spent enough Saturday nights with a controller in hand watching friends loop out on national tracks to know when a DLC pack is worth the entry fee - and this one lands somewhere in the middle, depending entirely on how deep you already are in MX vs ATV Legends. The 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship add-on brings 12 officially licensed tracks from the real-world 2025 season, with Loretta Lynn's headlining the roster as the crown jewel that motocross fans will immediately recognise. If you've been chasing that authentic outdoor nationals feeling since the Supercross World Tour content, this is the dirt-flung counterpart you've been waiting for. The track variety here is the obvious sell. Beyond the 12 competition circuits, Rainbow Studios padded the pack with 18 bonus events spanning cross-country courses, freestyle challenges, waypoint races, and pit bike circuits - the pit bike stuff in particular is goofy good fun and holds up surprisingly well as a party mode when you've got a couple of mates on the couch. One catch worth flagging: tracks and events unlock gradually from August through October rather than all landing at once, so if you jumped in at launch you may have felt the content drip more than a flood. By the time you're reading this, the full roster should be accessible. The base game's community has been vocal about two persistent issues that carry over here - AI behaviour that ranges from passive to downright absent, and audio that doesn't quite match the visceral bark of a real 450F. Neither of these is new to the 2025 pack, they're Legends-wide criticisms that Rainbow Studios is actively iterating on through patches. Physics sit firmly in the arcade-to-mid-sim range; serious sim riders who want millimetre-precise suspension tuning will find the model too forgiving, but anyone who just wants to throw scrubs, hit rhythm sections, and bang bars on Fox Raceway will have a genuinely good time. The refined physics system from recent updates has made cornering and scrubbing feel noticeably cleaner, which helps. For the couch crowd: the base game supports 2-player split-screen and 16-player online races, and those modes extend to DLC tracks, so yes - two people on one screen around Loretta Lynn's is absolutely a thing you can do, and it's a thing worth doing. Controller support is solid, though if you own a proper wheel rig this is not the sim that will justify dusting it off. Standard gamepad with a thumb-stick tilt for body weight is where this game lives and breathes. The honest question is whether the price of entry makes sense as a standalone purchase versus picking up the full 2025 Track Pass, which bundles this championship alongside upcoming compound and quarry content at a better per-track rate. If you are already invested in Legends and want the most authentic outdoor motocross representation available on PC or Xbox right now, the track quality - particularly the nationals recreations - delivers. If you're on the fence about the base game, sort that out first; this DLC has nothing for you until you do.
