MAVRIX Exits Early Access with Version 15.0.0 and Live Multiplayer

MAVRIX, the mountain biking game developed by Matt Jones, has left Early Access with the release of version 15.0.0 on July 16, 2026. The developer describes it as "one of our biggest updates yet," crediting community reports and suggestions throughout the Early Access period for shaping the final product.

What changed

  • Head-to-Head Multiplayer — Live side-by-side racing is now available across both Race and Slopestyle trails, with the ability to invite riders and compare section times.
  • Daily Rivals — A daily matchmaking mode that pits players against another rider's recorded time or score on a featured trail; wins award an XP bonus tied to Rider Rank progression.
  • New Race Trail: Cold Start — A new trail added to the race roster.
  • New Tech Challenge: Crash Site — A challenge built around the wreckage of a downed aircraft.
  • New Freeride Lines — Several hidden lines added: Dual Duel, Rollercoaster, Darkfest Hips, and two Dual Slalom lines.
  • MAVRIX Cup Weekends — Cup events are now scheduled every weekend.

The update also carries broad polish and gameplay improvements across the game, though specifics beyond the above are not detailed in the announcement.

For players who followed MAVRIX through Early Access, the full release consolidates that progression into a substantially more competitive game — one where the mountain now has a live opponent waiting on the other side of every run.
