MAVRIX Full Release Time and Xbox Game Pass Availability

After a stretch in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, the open-world downhill biking game from developer Third Kind Games (published by Cascade Interactive) is going wide as v1.0. If you’re checking whether you can ride today, the short version is yes — across every major platform, and free to try on Game Pass. Here’s the full picture on timing, platforms, and what the full release actually changes.

MAVRIX release date and Game Pass status

The full launch lands on July 16, 2026, and it’s a simultaneous rollout rather than a staggered platform-by-platform drop. The headline for subscribers is that MAVRIX joins Xbox Game Pass on day one, so you can play it without buying it outright. The one thing that isn’t nailed down is the precise minute it goes live.

When MAVRIX unlocks on July 16

Official-facing material anchors the launch to July 16 but stops there — it says “from July 16” rather than naming a clock time. That means there’s no confirmed global midnight, no stated regional stagger, and no announced rolling window to plan around. Expect the usual time-zone differences and standard Game Pass rollout behavior on the day, and treat any specific hour you see floating around as unconfirmed until the storefront timers tick over.

Where to play MAVRIX at full release

MAVRIX is a genuinely cross-platform launch on current-gen hardware, but only current-gen — there’s no last-gen or Switch version in the picture. On PC it’s available through both major storefronts, and the Game Pass entry spans console, PC, cloud, and handheld play rather than a single device type.

From Early Access and Game Preview to v1.0

The v1.0 build is framed as a full global release that carries forward everything added across Early Access and Game Preview, then plants a flag as a complete product on every platform. At its core it’s still the same 100-square-kilometre open world of downhill race tracks, slopestyle lines, and bike parks, built on an authentic physics and control system — individual front and back brakes let you pull wheelies, stoppies, and skid through sharp turns. You can ride solo, roam with friends in multiplayer, or chase prizes on the live global leaderboards.

The update cycle stacked a lot on top of that foundation. There’s a dedicated slopestyle mode with its own trails, real-time Head-to-Head racing, quality-of-life additions like session markers and fast travel to discovered trails, and a map peppered with hidden tech challenges — obstacle-course routes tucked into the world. On the progression side, sponsor challenges let you sign with real brands, earn currency, and unlock rare gear, right up to the grind for the iconic Red Bull sponsorship.

What isn’t available is a precise, versioned v1.0 changelog — there’s no public line-by-line list of every new trail, bike, trick, balance tweak, or economy change between the Early Access builds and the full release. The features above are what carried over and grew during the update era, not a claim about exact numbers.

Clearing up the Early Access and Game Pass confusion

Plenty of the MAVRIX info still circulating describes an earlier moment in the game’s life. The January 2026 console launch and its Xbox Game Preview listing, and the July 2025 Steam Early Access debut, were all real — but they’re outdated context now, not the current status. As of July 16, 2026, MAVRIX is a finished v1.0 release, so any “work-in-progress” or “Game Preview” labeling you run into predates the full launch.

The other common mix-up is the idea of a special Game Pass version. There isn’t one: the same v1.0 you’d buy outright is the version you get through Game Pass. The subscription changes how you access the game, not which build you’re playing, so there’s no separate edition or cut-down SKU to worry about.
