Player feedback for Trials Rising(TM) is divided, with a significant number of reviews highlighting gameplay satisfaction and skill development, while others express frustration over technical issues, particularly on Windows 11. The game has been praised for its learning curve and track variety, but many users report launch problems that severely impact their experience.
Trials Rising is the bigger, glossier continuation of the series' physics-driven motorbike obstacle racing, where progress comes from balancing throttle and rider lean across hundreds of side-scrolling courses. It trades the futuristic tone of Trials Fusion for real-world landmarks, sending the bike over the Great Wall of China and past the Eiffel Tower, and folds in a Tandem mode that splits one bike's controls between two players for cooperative chaos. A deep track editor and shared community levels extend it past the campaign.
Reception lands on a clear split. Critics and players consistently praise the tightened handling and the variety and ambition of the track design, while the recurring complaint targets a progression loop padded with loot crates and microtransactions that slow the unlock pace. Rated Teen and included on PS Plus Extra, it suits players chasing precise, replayable skill challenges and willing to look past the storefront friction, less so anyone wanting unlocks earned cleanly by play alone.
