What Makes SBK16 – Official Mobile Game Stand Out
The 2016 Motul FIM Superbike World Championship has a new contender and that is YOU: the SBK Official Mobile Game is back and now totally FREE TO PLAY!
"It's an entertaining game which captures the technicalities of the sport." (Pocket Gamer)
"A bright spot among a lot of pretty lame and average sports titles." (Operation Sports)
Experience the thrill of handling a 200 HP beast, speeding through the most challenging race tracks in the world: Aprilia, Kawasaki, Honda, Ducati, MV Agusta, BMW or Yamaha… the choice is yours!
Compete against reigning Champion Jonathan Rea and other real SBK riders, climb the leaderboards, challenge your friends or measure your riding skills in the new Test Ride mode to earn yourself a game-changing reward.
Feast your eyes on realistic 3D graphics with dynamic lighting effects and go wild with as many as 10 different control options – including motion, virtual joystick and mobile game pad.
Discover the new game physics and push it to the limit until you hear the screech of tires skidding on tarmac as the rear wheel loses traction and you fight to regain control of your bike.
Step up the challenge and become the new Superbike World Champion: ride your way to victory in the fastest lane of all!
KEY FEATURES:
- 13 rounds set on 4 continents, including the new German circuit of Lausitz

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We used to play SBk Official Mobile before it was taken down and made unavailable in our country. We really miss it but we found this one to be even better with the first person view. We do wish to see an option to be able to select FPP before races to have that view permanently so we are not switching constantly in game to get our desired view. We would lobe to see a way get rid of the HUD for more immersive gameplay and the ability to screen record without the extras o screen. We feel the crashing is a bit too easy and the hit boxes are pretty big. We want to be able to het closer without wrecking or being pushed from lean so aggressively. Please add more lean angle and actual knee touches to the asphalt which was tremendously great in SBK OFFICIAL MOBILE. We also notice a login bug with digital tales and it being oversized on screen. We dont receive verification codes either. Also Facebook login isnt supported for some reason. We also think live race events would be great with more tracks from each year and tracks not reason available. Love multiplayer would be just amazing!! We want official rules and penalties for championship and quick races. And lastly, the ai for the riders could be greatly enhanced. We notice sometimes they will just randomly stop or slow down to impede you and boost out of nowhere to scale the riders skill abruptly. Smoothening this out would definitely do wonders. Hopefully, we can het a response from the Digital Tales team. You guys are amazing and we want to see more future updates and work done. Willing to pay to see these suggestions added. Thank you and much love!! P.S Not sure if the downshift audio is natural with that popping sound but we think that could also use an improvement. Maybe add a night mode and rainy days? Also on tilt horizon if the helmet tilted with it would be even more realistic and dynamic.
We like the game.Its very nice.But the ad are too lot.we think this problem need change.
We just dont like the ads. It would be nice to have a better selection of motorcycles, maybe bring a class into it. One of our favorite bikes is the Ducati 748 and instead of picking a rider itd be you. Overall great game!!! Thanks Devs.
Such a Awesome realistic bike racing game in appstore or in whatever.
Where you guys been we want a perfect Abkhazia or MotoGP game so we just saying where yall been doing.
Great game, better than the newer versions! Glad we were able to reload this 2016 version. Thanks.
We enjoy this game even if it's not up to date, would love a 2020 version it's fun looks great sounds great, also challenging. Runs great on our iPod touch 7 and iPad mini 5, test any game we can on our old phone the 4S and it's awesome seeing it holds up very well. Lastly on the 2nd gen SE it's great.
It feels like an iOS port of the Milestone MotoGP or Ride games on PC/console, no comparison from anything else on the app store by a long shot. The ONE gripe we have is that first person view is completely wonky. It looks awesome, but when you lean the helmet twists as though the rider just broke their neck. Devs, please make the helmet stay flat so its not so disorienting to play in first person.
Great game once you get the hang of it its easy to control and maneuver just the sound could be a lot better.
Its a fun game we hate that u guys dont have the full roster but for a phone game its great if u can fix the ads that would be great.
GREAT GAME!!! One thing it is very hard to learn, but it starts to get easier as you play more. Also, there is sometimes an ad after a race. But otherwise AMAZING GAME.
The ads that dont skip are taking up too much time Im considering to uninstall the app.
This game is really great! It may not be close to real riding but overall, gameplay is great. We have one small issue, the ads we get cannot be skipped, and theyre about 30 seconds. Its faster to just reopen the game instead of watching the ad, but we understand you need to get money somehow.
Left and right turn needs to stop slipping off, when you go a little pass the range of left and right turn. Needs a code to keep it in the turn even when finger is a little past the turn control.
We dont like the ads that show every time we finish race.
You guys still stuck in 2016 Try lunching a new game and improve graphics + add new things. BE CREATIVE.
OK so, it's filled with annoying and intrusive ads that's one thing. And second, what is it with games and putting the poorly dressed women in it? It's sort of cringy to have to see those women every time we want to race.
These AI get such superhuman, so here we are taking the hairpin normally at 90 kph and here comes either a Ducati or a Kawasaki come over take us around the outside at 130 kph when we can't even take the hairpin at 110 kph, it's ridiculous honestly, you could do better than that with how much superhuman grip these AI get. And to make it harder, we're in first with a BACKMARKER. Come on, you could do better than that.
First person mode impossible to handle… – Its a motorcycle not tilting saucer!!! Plus helmet view interferes with visibility of the track. Handling itself while turning is buggy; keeps taking you out of track. Grid girls keep appearing after each race are annoying; must be removed!!! Plus if its free game then why on earth therere adds after each race??? And at the end its 2020; time to upgrade into SBK20 and SBK21!!! Therere plenty of car racing games out there… – Its a shame that theres not a single good motorcycle racing game.
This game is the worst game we have every in our life played. The AI drivers cant drive and make us lose and also the graphics and everything about this game is trash. We recommend is to nobody. Id rather you not download this game and find something else because this game is nowhere near good everything about it is trash everything.
Can we please have an 17-18 version of this game. Im a rider and cant always be on our bikes. This game eases the pain of that. Please bring us the updated version. Thanks, devs.
This game is very challenging, nice game, we like it.
If you love the sport then you'll love the game , mastering the steering and braking around corners is a learning experience but once you get the hang of all that the real fun begins with over 100 challenges and 8 courses all highly polished and detailed your sure to get lost for hours popping wheelies across the finish line.
Like the real thing re dynamic once you get the hang of it. Not street riding but track riding. Brake and drift like Marquez. Our only complaint is the sound. Guys: That is NOT the sound of an Aprilia! :) Everything else? 5 stars! ((Please tell us you're adding Portugal for next release xD.
We got SBK14 & 15, we love this games they're both amazing and this one is even better,we love it. Thanks for fixin it.
Probably in the top 5 2 wheeled racing games in the App store…Thats just our opinion…good job.
SBK 15 was far better in terms of interfacing, look and feel. This is just worst. Deleted it within 5mins of installing it.
Everytime we open the game and it gets to the "tap to start" screen we tap and thern it freezes and crashes. Please help.
Nope worst game ever. You can't even steer.
(Natural Born Soldier) a FPS game.
The latest update with the "new" handling physics is just an extremely bad decision and not thought out. Previous versions handling was very realistic with having a slight drift when entering and exiting turns. Another term for it is called "backing it in". We don't think the dev's realize how paramount it was with having this handling physic in the game! NO other game of its kind has had such incredible handling physics. And to take that handling style from an incredible game was….frankly idiotic. The worst part…idiocy is difficult to self recognize! Deleted until dev's can figure out they made a mistake and return the incredible handling physics of prior builds.
It gets annoying when u keep crashing with other bikes and have to start from 24.
Wow. They dropped the ball big one on this. Are they taking instructions from motogp.
We downloaded the game again to see if they finally had some sense in their heads and returned to the old suspension/handling with less slighting around. Sadly not! We'll delete the hame and try again in a few months but we doubt that they will change it. At least give players a choice of switching to the way the old games handled and the new way. Unless it changes this same is useless and we'll keep looking for a game to replace it. Well, the new version only because we like the 2014 and 2015 versions better. They have ruined a good game. Sad.
When we were see The game for SBK 16 we really worry about this game . Because we only have old we Phone 4G and The lastes IOS is 7. Luckly when we tap this App we can still download this game. Since last night we download and start to Play it is awesome all circuit are unlock thank for this And bravo for this game. Thank you Donald-Bali.
When you ride in cockpit Camera view. The right corner is not Swing swiwel looking in the corner. When the left corner is perfect. Only one problem. Iphone 6s plus.
The graphics and controls are great. Most realistic of the several bike games we've tried on mobile devices. The first person view was very hard to control, but normal view mode is perfect, where u look on the racer from above. A great game. Only problem is the ad videos after each race. Seems excessive and really slows the gameplay down. Overall a pretty good game but the ads interfere a lot for us, but we like that this is the whole game and not a limited demo.
We love this games features and we find it to be the best out of its series, although there is a problem, we dont know if its just because we dont know the game very well but when you're racing and come to a straight away, the other racing bots pass you ridiculously easy! Please fix this.
Game is sweet just need to make the bikes sound like they do in real life…we mean nothing sounds as sick as new r1 and 1098 but in this game nothing special fix that and its perfect.
Timo jogo, mas a viso em primeira pessoa poderia melhorar mais.
You folks almost got the game to where it should be playable & fun @ the same time. The steering is way to sensitive because we're always popping wheelies and just when we think we've got there turning down we end up in the grass or gravel. Other than that it's a good game to get if you like moto racing.
We can't stop playing it!!! Loved sbk15 and this one to we like it we love it we want some more of it!!!!!:):):).
