Just a heads up for everyone that's been waiting – it got released / went up in the Xbox One store this morning.
MX vs ATV Supercross : Xbox One
As a warning, the bike you start with is absolutely terrible; hard to scrub, feels overly stiff, and doesn't pre-load well but once you get the 450 with the pro-chassis the rider / bike smoothes out a ton and game gels together quite nicely. It's take some time to learn how to hit your lines perfectly (even harder to do every lap) but once you do it feels great, the online racing is a ton of fun, and while some people say MXGP is "more realistic" I think you can flow a lot better with the bike / track in MX vs ATV. Granted some of the stuff you can pull off when you learn the quirks of the game is quite exaggerated at the end of the day – it's a video game.
I will admit to being pretty biased though – I've been playing the MX vs ATV series for far too long now and prefer it leaps and bounds over MXGP (outside of being able to race real tracks there really isn't anything else I enjoy about that franchise).

HOWEVER...
At this past E3 Xbox announced their Play Anywhere set up, where you can you buy a digital game via Xbox or Windows 10 and it will play on both platforms. Keeping saves and stats. Meaning you can gain perks via the Xbox, then jump on your laptop/desktop/Surface tablet and continue where you left off.
This combined with sharing with gold, that allows my son to play games I bought on my xbox profile on his Xbox profile. I only have to buy 1 copy of the game. Where as with the older platforms, when we wanted to play, call of duty together or battlefield, I needed 2 copies, one for each of our systems.
For me the big thing is being able to game with him using my PC, currently I use a XIM adapter that allows me to use a mouse and keyboard for playing shooters on an Xbox when we game together.
So, is it worth it? For me it is, the saying goes, "Time you enjoy wasting, is NOT wasted time." We ride together, and at night it is fun to game together.
As for MX vs ATV SX Encore, we were playing it first thing this morning (I buy the digital copies so games are ready to go at midnight)
Thoughts anyone?
I for sure prefer MXGP 2's outdoor tracks...love Glen Helen...but was surprised that their Stadium series feels more realistic than Rainbow's game. Wish Milestone would release some Stadium DLC.
I just wish they would slow the darn game down some and stop it being such a chore to keep the bike from ballooning to the air constantly. I think those and the clutch are my major gripes.
