The newest entry to EA’s Formula 1 series (F1 25) has been confirmed for a release in Summer 2025.
The game will feature some of the franchises most iconic features, like a driver career mode and the popular Breaking Point story mode.
It will put the thrills of the 2025 racing season into the hands of the fans with up to date cars and racers, including the chance to race against Lewis Hamilton after his dramatic switch from Mercedes to Ferrari.
Alongside all the real-life teams and drivers, F1 25 will also feature ultra-realistic, laser-scanned versions of the real F1 tracks, giving avid racers millimeter-perfect simulation of their favourite races.
A variety of modes will be available to players, including My Team 2.0 where racers can create and manage their own F1 team with brand new Owner Perks that allow you to specialise in areas you feel are the most important for success.
The game will expand its playable universe by including gameplay and characters based off the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie produced by Apple. Once the movie is released in June 2025, new playable stories will be available in game based on the plot of the film.
Formula 1 fans in the US will also be able to get their hands on a bundle deal that includes free access to F1 TV alongside F1 25, allowing them to watch the races in real-time before attempting to smash their favourite racers record.
