Hey MAVRIX crew
It’s time to roll out our next update and this time we're giving you more ways to ride and more ways to customise your look!
This update introduces a brand-new choice of controls, improvements to the First-Time User Experience, a smoother Shop experience, and a stack of fresh cosmetics to get your hands on.
Plus you can now try on your gear and equip it straight from the Shop… Ooo fancy. 👀
Let's get into it...
🎮 NEW – Choose How You Ride
We've added support for a new control scheme, giving you more choice over how you want to ride MAVRIX:
Pro Controls
Our existing control scheme for riders who want full control over the bike and every move.
🆕 Flow Controls
A new way to ride, designed to give players a more simplified option for getting out on the mountain.
You'll be able to choose between Pro and Flow Controls, with updated menus to help make the differences between the two nice and clear.
👀 NEW – Check Your Vibe From Every Angle
Want to check out your new purchase from every angle to see if it’s your vibe? Good, because you can now rotate and zoom your rider in the Shop and Customisation screens, making it easier to check out exactly what you're buying and how your latest look comes together.
Go on. Give yourself a spin... 💃
✨ NEW - Cosmetics

🎓 IMPROVED – First Play Experience in MAVRIX
We've made some changes to the First-Time User Experience (FTUE) to make those first few rides smoother, especially as new players join us.
After your first lesson, you'll now get more information about the available control schemes and can choose whether to continue with the lessons or skip ahead and hit the mountain.
We've also fixed a couple of issues with the FTUE.
🛍️ IMPROVED – A Better Shop Experience
Shopping just got a whole lot easier.
You can now equip an item directly from the Shop after purchasing it, meaning less jumping between menus and more getting straight back to the riding in your shiny new 'fit.
We've also added better highlighting for new items, so it's easier to spot fresh gear when it arrives.
✨ IMPROVED – Your Inventory
Newly unlocked and recently acquired items are now highlighted throughout your inventory. No more squinting real hard at the screen to figure out what you just unlocked!
🐞 BUG FIXES & POLISH
As always, we've also been busy behind the scenes fixing issues and polishing the experience across the game.
This update includes fixes and improvements across:
FTUE progression
UI and menus
Matchmaking
Stability
Environment and world polish
However, there are a couple of bugs that we are aware of and working through,
Some string localisations are displaying incorrectly
Changing the front brake trigger setting in controls stops the ability to pedal in the flow controls.
Whether you're trying out a new control scheme, refreshing your rider's wardrobe, or giving your bike a brand-new look, there's plenty to jump into in the latest release.
See you on the mountain, legends! 🚵♂️🔥
