As the official game of the eponymous competition, Tour de France 2026 faithfully reproduces the 21 new stages of the Grand Tour, including iconic locations such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the starting city of this new edition, and the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris. Players will be able to embody most of the season’s riders, such as Tadej Pogačar or Remco Evenepoel, with their official jerseys and teams.
This year, the game leverages its transition to the Unreal Engine 5 engine by integrating, for the first time, changing weather conditions during races, forcing players to better understand each course.
Three game modes will be available at the launch of Tour de France 2026: 2 single-player modes to choose between embodying your own cyclist or a team of riders, and an online multiplayer mode for 6 players.
Tour de France 2026 will be available on PlayStation 5™ and Xbox Series X|S, on June 4, 2026
Pro Cycling Manager 26 allows you to take on the role of a sports director, where every decision will impact the season’s unfolding. Manage budgets, recruit riders, and attract sponsors! In Pro Cycling Manager 26, season planning has been redesigned, offering more realism in rider management and allowing you to choose their role before each start. The iconic team jerseys, such as those of UAE Team Emirates XRG or Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, are carefully reproduced for greater immersion.
