EA Exit The Pit Stop With F1 25 Release and Game Details
Electronic Arts has revealed that its releasing F1 25, an official 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship game. Armchair drivers can rev their engines on May 30, 2025, when F1 25 hits PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
F1 25 builds on its predecessor, F1 24, with updated game modes and content to reference the real world Formula 1. Players with the previous title aren’t being left out though, as pre-orders of F1 25 comes with 2025 liveries to use in F1 24, as well as other bonuses.
“Players who pre-order the digital-exclusive F1 25 Iconic Edition will receive a multitude of perks linked to cover star Lewis Hamilton and the film F1, alongside a selection of instantly available 2025 season liveries for use in F1 24 Time Trial mode, and much more,” EA said in a press release.
“USA players who pre-order the Iconic Edition will also receive a one-month subscription to F1 TV PRO.”
It’s Lights Out And Away We Go!
F1 25 lets players recreate pivotal moments from the real world 2025 season, as many drivers made unprecedented moves to other companies. Lewis Hamilton, the game’s cover star, switched from Mercedes to Ferrari as just one highlight echoed in-game.
Players of the previous entries in this series will see a return of the fan-favourite story mode, Braking Point. The latest entry showcases Konnersport as it battles for championships, against the backdrop of a dramatic event that throws the team into chaos.
New players won’t miss out though, as Braking Point has also received new difficulty settings that can ease rookie drivers into the story and gameplay.
It’s Turbo Time
Another returning game feature is My Team, and this has been majorly overhauled so that now players get to take control of their own F1 team. The mode also lets players step behind the wheel to race the game’s many recreations of real tracks, which were recreated using LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to scan the surface of the Earth for better circuit authenticity.
F1 25 was developed by Codemasters, a UK studio with over 30 years experience that’s been part of the US-based EA since 2021.
“F1 25 delivers more ways for players to experience Formula 1 and race their way, from the drama of Braking Point to making headlines in the pursuit of World Championship glory,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters.
“This year, there are new opportunities for players to connect, collaborate, and compete than ever before. We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks.”
