Over the past few months, Raceward and Nacon have slowly been releasing information about their upcoming Isle of Man TT game. For fans of the infamous bike race, it’s good news. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 is now officially available to play.

It is currently only open to those that pre-ordered the Racing Fan Edition of the game. The rest of players will be anxiously awaiting Thursday 11 May. This is when the game releases to the rest of the world. Here’s all you need to know about the game on release day.

What’s New in Ride on the Edge 3?​

Whilst the franchise’s second iteration certainly caught fans’ eyes, this third release is a complete step up. After the previous title, development transitioned from Kylotonn to Raceward. This Milan-based team is responsible for none other than RiMS Racing, often dubbed the best bike game on the market.


Taking inspiration from RiMS, the new TT game is set to feature much more realistic handling physics. Throughout its teaser campaign, the developers were keen to point out the vast amount of work that has gone in to the title’s braking and cornering model. This, along with several new rider aids should allow for a more realistic and less frustrating experience compared to titles of old.

In fact, bike racers have always struggled to reach the same level of control as car racing games. However, when it comes to RiMS Racing, fans often praise the game’s much more responsive handling. This is certainly a good sign for TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3.


Elsewhere, a new mode dubbed Open Roads will allow players to freely explore much of the Isle of Man. An open world map encompassing the TT course and many service roads, those that have visited the island in the past should recognise many of the game’s streets. Throughout this free roam map, players will find challenges, races and events to take part in.

With both online and offline competition, this should keep racers busy until the real world TT. Riders like Lee Johnston and Davey Todd will head to the island when the event kicks off later this month.

Nacon and Raceward’s TT game is available to purchase for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S and X. The premium Racing Fan Edition will give you early access to the title and provide you with John McGuinness’ 100th race suit. But, a standard version is also available on all stores.

I agree. :D All unrealistic. But I suppose your bars are a bit better than a controller. :thumbsup:
The bars are brilliant Andy, I honestly cannot stress how brilliant they are. I really struggled to control the Moto 2s in MGP 21 with a pad and no TC (hate using unrealistic aids), I just couldn't stop highsiding. With the bars it's so easy with the range of the twist grip to control the throtle (and obviously 100% realistic). + Proper brakes that you squeeze like a load cell pedal and clutch in the right place! Yeah the steering will always be an issue for realism as the bars emulate the way a pad controls lean, but with everything combined the whole package really works.....it's a hell of a work out for me as well, shoulders ache after an hour!

How much are they? Expensive?

Not cheap as the chap makes them on his own and it's all bespoke apart from some leo bodnar tech ( i think). Mine was 600 quid but I was close enough to pick it up and save on delivery cost and I havn't paid for the damper yet. Took a few years to save the money and sacrificed a new GPU to get it, but it's seriously night and day.....but makes it all harder, which i think is really how it should be, at 51 going on 52 I shouldn't be matching the times of 20 somethings!!

I'll just add that Doubledragon is open to people popping round his place and testing the system to see for themselves (which is what I did), I'm hoping to have a go at the system in VR when I get some spare time, he's done a vid testing IOM3 in VR and It does look like the next level up again.
 
So curiosity got the better of me and I did exactly what I said I wouldn't and bought tt3 and the difference between 2 and 3 is massive its so much nicer to play
