Motorcycle Sim Lanesplit adds VR Mode and electric bikes
Lanesplit, the traffic-weaving motorcycle racing simulator created by solo developer FunkyMouse, arrives on PC via Steam VR on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The game now promises more bikes, and a surprise cast of real-world playable characters added to both the base game and the VR version. According to a new press release for the new VR mode, players should “Strap on a helmet, flip down the visor, and ride with reckless abandon from a whole new perspective. Go from fearless to feathering the gas to survive suddenly slippery conditions with the addition of Thunderstorms, worsening road conditions in an instant.” Two new electric bikes and three new gas-powered bikes will also be added to the game, bringing the total to 20 hyper-fast motorcycles to choose from. Players will also be able to earn in-game currency after every run, then purchase both new rides and fresh outfits.https://www.youtube.com/embed/BYlAjZsSudw?feature=oembed The game also features a rising drum-and-bass soundtrack that intensifies alongside the speedometer. Hit the road solo or in multiplayer as a fully customizable speed demon, or ride as one of the newly added playable characters modeled after real-world motorcycle content creators like Brian636, CyborgAngel, and GhostRider. “Lanesplit captures the real-world thrills of motorcycle riding without the associated risk,” said Shakya Ranatunga, founder and solo developer at FunkyMouse, in a press release. “With objects whizzing past peripheral vision in VR, we can truly be in the rider’s seat and experience the thrills that Brian636, CyborgAngel, and GhostRider share with their communities on a regular basis.” FunkyMouse is a solo independent game developer founded by Shakya Ranatunga, a video game designer based in Canada. They dedicate themselves to providing a true sense of reality in their games by incorporating realistic visuals and audio into their creative projects, fleshing out fantastical worlds rooted in real life, such as their current project LANESPLIT featuring ultra-realistic motorcycle physics, handling, and sounds. Lanesplit arrives on PC via Steam in VR on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 for $17.99 with English language options alongside, playable characters, and additional line of rideable motorcycles as a free update.
