I'm looking for good Steam games to wishlist for the Steam Summer Sale coming soon. Mainly, I'm looking for any open-world game that features motorbikes/motorcycles as drivable vehicles.

It doesn't have to be a racing game. (Side tangent: I wish Forza Horizon 6, or any Forza game, had motorbikes in it.)

Games I already have that do have bikes in them:

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • GTA IV and V
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Just Cause 2 and 3
  • Saints Row 2, 3 and 4
  • Watch_Dogs 1, 2, and Legion

Also, please only recommend games that can still be purchased (mainly on Steam).

Defo this one is all about crankin yer hawg

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Such a good game! Shame the sequel was cancelled.

[–] chris@l.roofo.cc 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Still mad about that. I want to see how the story ends.

[–] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago

I was actually reading about some famous unfinished works a few days ago. Like stories and pieces of music. Oddly enough I quite like the sense of mystery that goes with pieces of art that are left unfinished. I guess Days Gone falls into that category now.

Despite that, I still think it's best when stories do get finished just for the closure it brings.

7 days to die is an open world zombie survival game. Getting the motorcycle is a slog, it's practically an end game item. But once acquired, it's totally badass.

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I was going to suggest 7 days to die as well. Great game to play with friends.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would Days Gone count for this? It didn’t hold my attention, but it seems pretty centered around a motorbike.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I found the motorcycle driving in this game to be painful. Your ride is one of the things that you upgrade, so at the beginning, your bike is slow, can't turn, and runs out of gas after a mile. It does get better, but early game is frustrating.

[–] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lego City Undercover, Marvel Superheroes, and DC Super-Villains. Definitely not the primary gameplay focus, but all three have an open-world map that you hop on a Lego motorcycle and cruise around between levels. There's even some racing challenges here and there to put your motorbike to good use.

[–] buran@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

I really loved LCU, glad it was ported to other platforms.

[–] utjebe@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Test Drive Unlimited

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can go ahead and add Skyrim to your list

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think Skyrim has motorbikes (also I already have it), unless you're talking about mods.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Their link is to a mod page that adds motorbikes to the game.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Breath of the Wild, though the motorcycle is a bonus item not really an integral part of the game.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

sorry. from the title I just came to say cyberpunk. you know the one pistal will plast you into the sky if you shoot the ground yeah?

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

I believe Sleeping Dogs has bikes as well. Love that game.

[–] absquatulate@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The original Crew. You can get it for cheap/free, slap on the TCU patch and drive motorbikes accross a spectacularly large continental US.

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I though The Crew got delisted? Wasn't that what the SKG was about?

[–] absquatulate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

For a while last year you could still get it for a symbolic 1€ iirc. And there is always the seven seas option.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Death Stranding, if trike count.

[–] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint

My Summer Car

[–] Mitchie151@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I played the MX vs ATV games years ago as a kid and they were heaps of fun then. No idea what the new ones are like but legends is cheap at the moment on steam and seem to get good reviews. Definitely a more pure racing game though than the others on your list.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Does it need good driving mechanics or just motorbikes? CDDA you can build any vehicle you like, you could even make a solar powered amphibious folding ebike - just be careful not to overload the weight on it with some of the larger batteries, easier on large vehicles as you have greater displacement. Though you could make your motorbike 10m long. Width is limited as wider I think will require more than 2 wheels so not really a bike anymore.

The vehicle building system allows building what is commonly called death mobiles.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Sleeping Dogs - I'm pretty sure it's only on console, but imo it's absolutely worth the time and effort to track one down if you don't already have one just to play it.

Project Zomboid - while there aren't motorcycles in the base game (yet), there are a few great mods that add different types of bikes to drive around the map.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, Sleeping Dogs is on Steam.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Definitely on steam and definitely has bikes. Overall the driving/riding is a good line of realistic and fun.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago
[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Looks real interesting, and it's on Steam. Definitely wishlisting. Thanks!

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I wish Smugglers Run would get a reboot...

Sons of the Forest. Technically.

[–] lapes@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

The Crew Motorfest, it's Forza Horizon with motorbikes

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago
[–] qupada@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

Far Cry New Dawn has motorbikes with sidecars, but no straight motorbikes.

Both it, and Far Cry 5 that it is a sequel to also have quad bikes.

Potentially neither of these quite count, for the purpose you're asking the question?

[–] phailhaus@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

At least one of the modern Ghost Recon games has motorcycles.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

7 days to die

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

Days Gone.

Zombie survival story thing, but the gimmick is you're a biker and you have to take care of your bike while also avoiding zombies.

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you list GTA 4 and 5 you should also list GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas.

[–] mech@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

GTA 3 didn't have motorcycles.

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You're right, but Liberty City Stories has.

[–] LunarLoony 2 points 1 day ago

GTA 1 and London had motorbikes, though. Or mopeds in the latter's case

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

Especially San Andreas has a great road network for taking grand tours.

[–] Sammirr@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago
[–] MirrorGiraffe@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Late game ff7 is open world and it features a small motorcycle minigame which isn't at all accessible from the world map but still it fits your description!

Also chocobos...
