MX vs. ATV: On the Edge is a racing video game developed by Tantalus Media and published by THQ for the PlayStation Portable. It was released in 2006.

There are several modes of play covering the entire world of pro ATV and MX racing like Hill climb, FMX, super cross race, and others. In this game, players can drive not only ATVs and MX bikes but dune buggies, golf carts, stadium trucks, monster trucks, and sand rails.

It's a fairly straightforward port of the PS2, Xbox, PC title MX vs. ATV Unleashed which was released in 2005 by THQ. Besides obvious graphical differences and the addition of several new playable areas, the game lacks the ability to fly airplanes, unlike the console edition of the game.
