60 of 177 · most liked firstLots of bad reviews for the game, don't be fooled by most of the people below. The game has bad qualities, for sure - the UI/World Map is a mess and navigating from track to track because of it can be a chore and take time to get used to, there is an in-game currency that gets you cosmetics which are also tied to crates, another terrible feature. However, these are genuinely the only bad things about the game, as a Trials fan for over 14 years having played them all, I would just be lying if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had made a point for years not to give Ubisoft a single cent. I finally broke that rule because I bought a second controller and wanted some fun local co-op games to play with my kid. Trials seemed perfect for that, especially on sale. I already regret giving Ubisoft any money. I bought the game on Steam, downloaded it on Steam, and just wanted to play local multiplayer. Instead, I'm forced through this completely unnecessary Ubisoft Connect layer before I'm even allowed to launch the game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game does not launch. Multiple users on the forums have complained for months. Save your money no matter how little because all you're buying is a digital brick.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't get me wrong, Trials is My f-ing game, but since UBISHAFT 'updated' the game, it won't launch and they don't GAS. DO NOT BUY! As of 08.10.26: The 'tiny' update's done nothing, it's still phucked, still can't play on intel, brilliant, well done guys, it wasn't broken, you tried to update, you broke it and can't fix it, round-of-a-f-ing-applause.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Straight up the game does not work anymore. Will not launch and I highly doubt Ubi is doing anything soon to fix it. DO NOT BUY!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this game, it does not launch. Some say only an issue on Windows 11 (Windows 10 loses support this month), some say certain graphics cards, some say certain settings. Tried a bunch of different things myself with no success, and no logs I can find in the game folder or appdata that I could use to help RedLynx/Ubisoft suss out the cause or sort out what is specific to my machine that causes the game to not launch. I will remove this review if this game becomes launchable/playable…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know what Red Lynx and Ubisoft did but the game is unplayable. It crashes on launch and it's a common issue. Do not buy this game. Even on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this it does not run on windows 11. It also requires you to install ubisoft connect. And it will not run from there either.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was a lot of fun until I got banned for some unknown reason. I tried to appeal the ban, and they let me submit an appeal. Only to tell me there is no appeals process. After buying all the DLC and putting in hundreds of hours, I can't play it anymore. It was fun, but can't be fun now. Thanks Ubisoft. You have truly squeezed the life out of gaming as we know it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UBISOFT is the WORSE gaming company I have ever dealt with. I purchased Trials Rising several years ago and love it. But I've finished the game 4 times already, and decided to Hide the game till I decide to come back and play it again. Trials Rising and Riders Republic are the only 2 UBISOFT games I have. I un-hid Trials Rising because I wanted to play it again. I go to start it, and I get some stupid message saying that the game is not authorized for me to play F**K THAT! I've owned the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does not work!!!! I haven't been able to play it not even once because it wont launch!!!! It seems like Ubi does not care about fixing it because most review on Steam mention the same. Very Disappointed. Save your money!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scummy as ♥♥♥♥ to have a completely non-functioning game (crashes on launch, no known fix) for sale at full price. Brilliant game, horrendous company behind it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ubisoft connect makes games unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game no longer launches at all after the steam port. Can't even play the product I paid for, classic Ubisoft.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am an idiot paying for a Ubisoft game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steam vs. Ubisoft Connect. An epic battle about who's gonna launch the game. It's an epic battle and still not over. The game won't launch!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hadn't been able to launch the game for over a YEAR but I found a workaround. Open Powershell as administrator, change the directory (cd then space) to where Trials Rising is located. For me it's: cd 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Trials Rising' then type: Start-Process ".\Launch_Trials_Rising.exe" /offline This DOESN'T keep it offline. I was still able to play online once it launched. Controls look a bit broken but as long as you know how to play and navigate menus, you'll…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game won't launch unless you mess around in Powershell first. Cmon Ubisoft, this game is barely 7 years old, this is unacceptable. The game itself is amazing, but the company that manages the game could not care less about it, or the fact the steam version is completely broken for the majority of users. Fix the game and I'll change my review, until then, it's a sad day for trials.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Won't launch on certain pc's. Don't buy PS: ♥♥♥♥ you Ubisoft
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ wont launch
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game crash on launch and ubisoft has made no attempt to fix or statement about it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game a lot but it does not work unless on GeForce Now. 0/10 please let me launch the game Update: i got it working but i shouldn't need to change my settings and open Powershell every time i want to launch the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game simply won't launch anymore with Win 11 or Series 13/14 Intel chips, pure BS don't waste a cent on that garbage...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game ages ago, Go back to play it and it no longer runs cause i have an 12th gen processor? idk, dumb tho.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Windows 11 users be warned. This game will not launch whatsoever on Windows 11. It barely runs on Windows 10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game doesn't work Don't Buy It from steam * I bought it from Ubisoft store it working fine in ( Intel PROCESSOR )
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WTF? I love this game, but it won't start for me anymore. Funny thing is, I just installed and played Fusion with no problem through the same stupid launcher. This game won't launch. Worked just fine before. VERY frustrating.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't launch - probably some shenanigan due to Ubisoft forcing us to use that Ubisoft Connect bs app that also forces us to link our e-mail. Do not buy this. It crashes on launch, and every fix I found online did not work!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just leaving a review because it launches for me. Good ole trials.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game doesn't run on windows 11. ( it just wont start ) There is few fixes online but there is no guarantee that they will help. don't buy it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. It will not start whatsoever. If you buy this, you might as well wipe your ass with the money you'd spend instead, it'd have a better purpose.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game wont start
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The negative reviews always held me back from buying this. Picked it up recently regardless and I have to say the game is amazing. The map UI is not great but that doesn't take anything away from the amazing gameplay. Lots of tracks, lots of bikes and very good tutorials. Also the music is very good. The online servers are still online so you can even download community tracks. 8/10, two point reduction for annoying UI + lootboxes + acorns, also in order to unlock all Extreme tracks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game cannot launch for the life of me i've been trying for 3 days and there is no error response, Just blank ubisoft launch game screen. I've tried every tutorial out there this is actual trash. I'm getting a refund now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Windows 11 users be warned. This game will not launch whatsoever on Windows 11. It barely runs on Windows 10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →windows 11 users be warned, it does not function. it's hella fun though if you can play it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a continuation of a very fun and simple game mechanic with great graphics, ruined by forcing the player to jump through convoluted and unnecessary hoops to access later content. Additionally, Ubisoft launchers, ads, gaming platforms needs to just stop. It detracts from the experience of enjoying really fun games such as Rayman: Legends and Trials.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After some updates, the game wont launch. And ubisoft does nothing to fix it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great physics and a bunch of levels to explore and master. Also extremely good optimization.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You would think a game that is designed to be played with a controller would have the controller bindings functioning, but no. Every single pop up in this game tells you that every function is completed by moving the left stick. Now, I have a brain in my head, so I know how to play the game, but good luck if you don't or if you want to navigate any of the millions of menus in this game. The Negative review isn't because of the control binding pop ups, it's about Ubisoft and their obsession…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tell me why I have to buy a game I already bought and own? Dog****
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was so exited to play this because trials was one of my fav games of childhood, turns out it´s a piece of ♥♥♥♥. matter of fact game companies should be absolutely scrutinized for pulling ♥♥♥♥ like this. This live server gambling ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is the downfall of gaming. I feel bad for paying for this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ ubisoft, ubisoft connect is a joke i cant access the game because of it, i am sure that it isnt that hard to create a working service for games someone could pay full price for this just for it not to work which should be a crime, ubisoft please get your act together and do the bare minimum
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've seen a lot of negative Steam reviews talking about how they can’t launch the game. So far I’ve been able to launch it just fine, I saw somewhere that it mainly affects people with Intel CPUs, which would make sense because I have AMD one and it works fine for me. Trials Rising is one of my favorite games of all time. I have hundreds of hours in it on Switch and I'm still enjoying playing through it again on pc. Extremely replayable, with tons of collectibles and secrets to find,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game still does not launch 1/5/2026
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does not launch anymore. Game is great, but you cannot play it. DO NOT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately ubisoft is a garbage company that has no intention of properly supporting stuff they make. It seems I am one of the lucky ones whose game functions, and that is why I am giving it a recommendation. When the game works, it is amazing, by far the richest entry in the Trials franchise with really good progression, tutorials, level design and depth, customization etc. (not to mention the track editor, meaning players also can and have created masterpieces). Also they didn't need to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THE GAME WONT OPEN :JOY: AHAAH WHYYYYYY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY. WILL NOT LAUNCH.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to refund all the Trials games. They all requires the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ubislop app and account to work and even dow I got a Ubislop account I cant even log into the account to save my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ life. I mean.. even if you held a gun to my face and told me the only way I was gonna live was if I logged into Ubislop.. I would be dead! I be dead! Dead! "Don't waste your life, I did.
