MotoGP Rivals Launches Today in Singapore — Free Mobile Strategy Game

MotoGP Rivals, the official team-management mobile game from Tiny Digital Factory, has soft-launched today across Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region.

What is MotoGP Rivals?

MotoGP Rivals isn’t a traditional racing game — you won’t be tilting your phone to steer through Sepang’s corners. Instead it’s a team-management and live-strategy title where you assemble a roster of real MotoGP riders, tune their machines, and call tactical commands during each race event. Think fantasy motorsport crossed with a card-based RPG: build your squad, develop your riders through upgrades and packs, and execute your race-day calls at the right moment.

The game carries a full Dorna Sports licence, meaning all official 2026 MotoGP teams are represented — from the factory outfits down to the satellite squads. Marc Márquez, the multi-time world champion, is among the featured riders available to recruit.

How the strategy layer works

During races, the on-track action plays out automatically while you manage stamina and issue live commands. The command set includes ATTACK, PUSH and SAVE — each with a cooldown timer, so you cannot simply repeat one button the whole way through. Watching a rival’s stamina bar deplete before triggering ATTACK, or choosing SAVE during a tricky mid-race stint to protect tyres for the final push, gives the game a genuine rhythm. Between sessions, the management loop covers tyre strategy, qualifying preparation and rider card development.

Team building and race strategy

The team selection screen shows all official MotoGP outfits side by side with their characteristic liveries and rider pairings. Whether you run a top-tier factory squad or build a mid-grid satellite team from the ground up, the game gives you room to take your own approach. Rider cards earned in-game provide the progression path for developing your roster across a full season.

A top-down circuit view — featured in the store listing under the heading “Master Race Strategy” — displays the track with live stamina indicators for each rider. It’s a clean mobile take on the data feeds real pit-wall engineers monitor throughout a race weekend. Spotting when your nearest rival is running low before you call a push gives the strategy layer meaningful depth for a free-to-play mobile title.
