Ride 2 has been awarded a Guinness World Record title of its own: "most licensed bikes in a videogame", it revealed today. It’s been given the title for 190 licensed real-world bikes, with an estimated 40 bikes expected as DLC later.
Italian developer Milestone are pleased with the accolade: “We are really proud to be recognized for such an important award.

The claim from Milestone is that in addition to having the most licensed bikes, they also have an unrivalled level of precision: bikes will be modelled down to the smallest details, with manufacturers like Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ducati, BMW and many more will have their bikes featured in the game.
“The racing genre has often strived for realism and authenticity, so it’s great to see a motorcycle game delivering some serious options for two-wheel enthusiasts. Having just launched our Guinness World Records 2017 Gamer’s Edition, there’s every chance now that Ride2 could be haring into next year’s book…” added Stephen Daultrey – Editor of The Guinness World Record Gamers Edition.
Ride 2 released earlier this month for a variety of platforms.
