Nacon have released some great stats that show just how successful TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 has been. It’s really nice to see these kinds of insights when a new studio has taken over an existing franchise and made their vision work. With 1.9 million races started and a distance of 16 times around the world ridden, it’s well worth a look for anyone interested in bikes or the TT.

Press release:

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 players have ridden the equivalent of more than 16 times around the world
A free update came out on July 3rd, making a wide range of playability improvements to TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3.

Lesquin, July 10th 2023 – NACON and the RaceWard team, the NACON Studio Milan racing label, have announced the release of a free update, making a whole bunch of improvements for TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3. They have also unveiled an infographic illustrating player preferences and investment since the release of the game.

A free update came out on July 3rd, making a wide range of playability improvements to TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3. It provides more options to customize the experience, a more complete online ranking display, better graphic performances, as well as improved controller haptic feedback on PlayStation®5.

While the NACON Studio Milan developers were working to improve the game experience, TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 players were taking on all kinds of challenges. Among the most impressive figures, just 2 months after the game’s release, players have covered 402,000 miles on open roads, i.e. riding more than 16 times around the world. Also, they have started almost 2 million races. In this demanding simulation of the world’s most dangerous race, 45% of players have opted to tackle the two most difficult game modes, for the closest possible experience to reality. Finally, after winning 4 races this year and setting a new absolute record for the Isle Of Man TT (16’36.115 minutes at an average of 136 mph), Peter Hickman picked up the gold medal for the players’ favorite rider. He was closely followed by Michael Dunlop and John McGuiness, two other legends of the Tourist Trophy.

Developed by the RaceWard team veterans, the official game of the Tourist Trophy gives players the chance to experience the thrills and spills of the world’s most dangerous race.
