Matt Jones is a professional MTB rider from the UK, well known for world’s first tricks, huge Red Bull projects and big world-tour results. In February 2024, together with his Cascade Interactive co-founders, Matt started work to design and create Mavrix, a realistic open-world mountain bike game that he believes captures the essence of the sport, striking the balance between authenticity and fun.

Matt: “I grew up playing extreme sports games like SSX Tricky, Tony Hawks Pro Skater and Downhill Domination. In recent years however, I’ve struggled to find a bike game that truly reflects the sport I know and love. So, two years ago, I set out to build a realistic and authentic mountain bike game that represents everything I’ve learned through my career. The game is called Mavrix and I’m so proud to now be launching Mavrix on Xbox!”

Mavrix offers a huge multiplayer open world, based on Wales in the UK. Explore mountains using chairlifts, discover trails, race on global leaderboards and compete in slopestyle trick events. Just like real life, you can grind to get sponsored and earn ‘Moolah’ to purchase new bikes, clothing and kit.

Authenticity has been at the core of the design process. Dual stick controls balance steering with rider movement, and Matt went one step further by choosing to split up the front and rear brakes onto individual triggers for unique handling.

Some of Matt’s most notable accomplishments are featured in Mavrix too, offering fans the opportunity to jump the infamous River Gap from Red Bull Hardline, and jump through two moving lorries.

Mavrix is out now in Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S, with a huge update that brings new physics and features such as the new Slopestyle mode – designed by Matt to reflect the real Slopestyle events experienced through his career. This mode even has authentic in-game judging and commentary from legendary Red Bull commentor Rob Warner. Pick up Mavrix today and crack on!
