You can choose the standard edition or special edition for $10 more on the Xbox Store or PSN store. Do a search for Monster Energy and the game should pop up.

Special edition will be available on disc as well just like any other game.
Thanks!

Would definitely like to order the digital download SE version.

Were you or anyone else able to confirm if it is a digital download from that link? I do not see where it says digital download.
I can understand the question as Microsoft's website is lacking when detailing what your getting. I will tell you below, but if you want to just browse to see how I got there, here is how I got to find the link:
Goto that link (page) again, in the top menu click Games & Entertainment, then click Xbox Games (download). Over in the left menu click Coming Soon. Scroll down and you will see the 2 versions available.

On the SE product page I gave, about in the middle of the page there is a section that says "In this bundle" and will show photo/links to the products you get. One of those is the base 59.99 game, another is the preorder gear, and third is the season pass. So if you click on the photo of the base game shown as included in the SE product, you can view the installation details on that product at the very bottom of the page. Installation is a download and is listed as 13.82GB. It will be available 2/12/18 @ 9pm.

Hope not. No reason for the Supercross game to be released each year. All they really have to do is release a patch to update tracks, riders, gear, etc.

I don't see the point for them to release MES 2 in 2019, MES 3 in 2020, etc.

I think they are going for the FIFA or NHL game-type, same game year after year but new players/shirts.

Well i could gamble my bike on that there will be a MES 2 when i saw that pic of Malcolm.

That is the model they have with the MXGP series too. And every game has been a step in the right direction so i don't see a problem.

I get that but those games have massive fan base and those studios can justify the cost to do it. I just don't get the point even for those games. Players change teams, big deal. From my understanding you can already draft players to other teams on your own.

Cash grab is all it is. $80 for the game or $90 for the special edition game up here. I'd gladly spend $10-$20 for a DLC that address all those issues over purchasing a new game every year.

Pretty sure the plan is for it to be a yearly release. No complaints here! I would rather have a yearly release like the Madden/NBA2K series than just a series of patches, updates...which is something Milestone never does. This way we get yearly improvements and updated teams, bikes, riders, gears, arenas and tracks.

Malcolm had been scanned for the Feb 13th release already so this is Milestone, again, hard at work at all the races, scanning riders, bikes and arenas as well as replicating the 2018 tracks for next year's game.

Nice to see a team like Milestone TRULY committed to the sport and being the official game in every sense of the word.

Major props!!!

Maverick...I get what you are saying but I have zero issue spending 90 to 100 per year on a new game each year. Milestone meticulously recreates each bike, team, rider, livery, arena and track. And there are LOTS of changes each year, not just roster moves. To do all that each year IS worth a new game. It is to me, at least. That would be a major update to do all that.

I'll never complain about a yearly installment series of a licensed Supercross game. No way, especially since its been nearly 20 years since the last one.

Bring on Monster Energy Supercross 2019. Hell yeah!

I have no issues with them doing a yearly new release if that’s what it takes to financially incentivize them to make a great game for our tiny sport.

Agreed. If a yearly release, which I would love, also benefits them financially and keeps officially licensed SX games coming them I more than happy to support them. As I said, I would prefer yearly iterations, myself. So stoked to see them already hard at work on the next game. That is great news!

To each their own I guess but to me all the things you mentioned could all easily be addressed as a DLC package. Those changes don't require Milestone to release a "new" MES game.

don't buy next years copy then simple as that. no need to post the same negativity in three comments worded differently. MXGP1 and MXGP3 are almost all the same tracks but I would sure as shit rather play mxgp3 because every release they make improvements to the physics etc.. and sx will be the same every game will just get better. We're all passionate about one of the most expensive hobbies and you're groaning on an on about paying 60 bucks to support a company thats working hard to give us good authentic games.

i feel tht way on games like call of duty & battlefield , but sports game like EA UFC , madden , MLB the show , NBA 2K or even WWE 2K??? nah.... u gotta come out with a yearly release , freshen up the roster , the home / away uniforms, new stadiums & areas like when the rams & the chargers moved to LA etc... & imo moto games belongs in tht category of yearly realses to refreshing things up cause 1 thing i learn about these gaming companies & shit , they'll pump out a couple DLC's & then they just stop updating the game & move on to the next game or start developing the next game for tht series

I probably won't if the first MES game blows. Looks great yeah but it doesn't mean it'll play as great as it looks.

For the record it's $90 up North and it's not the price that's the issue it's the cash grab with nothing new to justify it. I don't buy the same game twice and essentially that's exactly what it will be.

MXGP 1 and MXGP 3 might have all or close to all the same tracks but they weren't released a year apart, we're done on different gaming engines, huge improvements between the two so yeah in that case it makes complete sense to release a new title.

As far as authenticity goes, it's cool and all but that all goes out the window if it doesn't play well and they don't support it after the release.

Hopefully it will play great and that their next release will be an AMA game. That's the only thing missing from that franchise.

Milestone has my money each year that they make a licensed AMA SX game. I want a yearly game because to me updated rosters, livery, bikes, team's and tracks plus continued improvements is easily worth the cost of 1 game per year. No brainer..

A MAJOR reason why it's important to have yearly games is when major changes occur...like with the 18 format with no semis and triple crown rounds...that they can be implemented in next years game perfectly. That is something that would NEVER be addressed in DLC. If that's not a good reason for making an annual game then I don't know what is.

what Maverick is saying is that you don't need new software everytime . You can update whatever you want with a patch. I agree with Maverick in that developers/publishers waste OUR (so to speak) money on new software just so they can change things that may or may not make the game better. I think most Call of Duty fans would have been happy for them to stop developing the engine 10 years ago and concentrate on just adding new content for the existing software, which is so much cheaper.

It's a way the industry creates work for itself, and is a way they can get physical product on shelves, especially in November, and I understand that, but the games, and the consumers don't benefit from it. I can assure you that.

The thing is this though. Milestone doesn't offer much DLC or updates. Different companies offer different models in how they do things. Milestone generally puts almost everything in the release game. Nordic does more of a DLC route. Both are viable. But read what I just posted. I can't see this as being a DLC change. This is a change in the entire programming and format. That is not something they would do via DLC.

Here's what I am referring to.

The graphics look absolutely astounding. Everytime I watch these videos I'm super stoked then they show the game play and I lose hope. It's still so clunky and the way the riders go through the whoops looks like total crap. It makes me wish they would spend less time making the game look appealing and work on the physics. I don't know, maybe they just really need someone whos good at playing it and show what a clean lap really looks like. The way the riders case stuff and just plop onto the next jump looks bad and doesn't speak much for the physics.

Personally I would rather see Milestone move away from the yearly releases. To me MXGP 2 and 3 were not worth the price I paid as they just seemed like a really expensive DLC. An example of what I'm talking about is that MXGP3 had the exact same gear choices as you had in MXGP2. To me they just seem to want to make as much money with as little effort possible, and I don't expect this SX game to be much different.

MXGP2 and MXGP3 play like completely different games. It is shockingly different. It's on an entirely new engine. How can you classify that as expensive DLC. Like, what?

I agree on the whoops part but I've mentioned something before and I'll mention it again. Don't forget the game will have 2 different type of physics to choose from. Maybe what we've been seeing in the videos is the arcade version as oppose to the pro physics or whatever it's going to be called.

I'm hoping that's the case if not it still needs a bit of work on the physics parts. Just casing and slapping from jump to jump without losing time isn't realistic. A couple things I've noticed in the video we're when Dungey ran in the back of Musquin all that happened to Musquin was that he slid like he was on ice. I noticed it in another part (Yamaha) right after a corner/before a jump, no consequences, cleared the jump as if nothing happened. Towards the end there's a Suzuki that overjumps a landing, nose planting hard before the corner and proceeds to make the corner perfectly.

Just a couple of tweaks and those issues could be fixed. At this point they would need to release a patch to address those things since the launch is in a few weeks.

Loving the customization options. It reminds me of Untamed a little bit. A lot of choices to make the bike/rider truly your own.

I don't own either of the games but I'm pretty sure both MXGP 2 & 3 were both done with the Unreal 4 engine.
