EA SPORTS announced that the F1 23—the official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship, will be released on June 16 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam.
Unfortunately, the F1 23 won’t be available on Nintendo Switch.
F1 23 features every team, driver, and racetrack for the 2023 season, as well as the highly-anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix and Lusail International Circuit in Qatar. The epic story mode, Braking Point, is back and is the headline feature of the game.
Braking Point is a special mode in the F1 2023 game that allows players to experience an exciting and immersive story that unfolds throughout the course of the game.
“The return of Braking Point allows players to immerse themselves in a racing story, which provides a unique look at F1 alongside the authentic race features our players know and love,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters.
Improvements
F1 23’s handling has been upgraded from last season, allowing for more predictable behavior, and new vehicle physics gives the cars better traction when braking, accelerating, and cornering.
By incorporating actual F1 team feedback, a greater balance between aerodynamics and tire grip results in a more realistic feel. Engine torque and inertia improvements also mean throttle control is more authentic and offers a greater level of connection to the car. Alongside these improvements, Precision Drive controller technology will give pad players better control and confidence in those crucial race moments.
What’s coming?
- The digital-exclusive F1 23 Champions Edition comes with time-limited Las Vegas content*, Max Verstappen Race Wear Pack, Braking Point 2 Icons and Vanity Item Pack, Dual Entitlement**, four new My Team Icons, an XP Boost, F1 World Bumper Pack, 18,000 PitCoin and three days early access starting on June 13.
- A physical and digital Standard Edition featuring EA SPORTS ambassador Charles Leclerc alongside Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris will be available from June 16 with F1 World Starter Pack and 5000 PitCoin for those who pre-order.
