The world of Formula 1 is set to return to gaming consoles and PCs with the highly anticipated F1 25, the latest installment from Codemasters and EA Sports. Promising enhanced realism, updated team rosters, and cutting-edge physics, F1 25 aims to deliver the most immersive F1 experience yet. Whether you're a veteran racer or a casual fan, this game is shaping up to be a must-play for motorsport enthusiasts in 2025.
Gameplay
F1 25 is expected to refine its gameplay mechanics with smarter AI, improved car handling, and more dynamic weather effects. The My Team mode will return with a major overhaul, allowing players to create and manage their own F1 team. Driver Career Mode would also feature new features, offering better off-track storylines and decision-making options that affect your career trajectory. Moreover, the game brings back the third installment of the story mode, Braking Point, continuing the fictional Konnersport F1 saga.
EA and Codemasters are also doubling down on online multiplayer, with improved matchmaking, ranked play, and potentially cross-platform support. A deeper integration of the F1 Esports Series is also expected, offering more ways for players to compete globally. This upcoming game would also feature elements from the upcoming Brad Pitt-starrer F1 movie.
Release Date
The official release date for F1 25 is May 30, 2025. This puts the game in players’ hands just before the midpoint of the real-world F1 season, giving fans a perfect way to jump into the action themselves.
Platform
F1 25 will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam or the EA App. However, support for previous-gen consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One is unlikely due to Codemasters focusing development on current-gen hardware to take full advantage of modern gaming technology.
