"We look forward to welcoming our players to the new era of
Formula 1®," said Lee Mather, F1® Senior Creative Director at
Codemasters. "Alongside the real-world changes, we have updated the
physics to accommodate the new aero rules and re-worked the tyre
model, making the handling more true to life. With new and updated
circuits, Adaptive AI, F1® Life, and expanded gameplay options,
there has never been a better time for players to take their seats
and live the life of an F1® driver."
The redefined race day allows players to customise their set-up
with new Immersive and Broadcast options that affect formation
laps, safety car periods, and pit stops. Select Immersive, and
players will face risk-reward challenges, which could be the
difference between a place on the podium or finishing outside the
points. Broadcast takes the pressure off, with controlled and
authentic cinematics that keeps players close to the action. For
the ultimate immersive F1® experience, the new PC VR functionality
via Oculus Rift and HTC Vive enables players to feel the drama from
right inside the cockpit.
For new and casual fans, the new Adaptive AI keeps less
experienced players competitive throughout each race, with opposing
AI racers tailored to match the skill level. Accessible menus and
handling also return to help players get to the action quickly
without the need to understand the complexities of the sport. The
refreshed Practice Programs offer more variety with new scoring
systems and on-track visualisations. This helps players navigate
each twist and turn to perfection before racing for those
all-important championship points.
F1® 22 also boasts enhancements to returning features, including
My Team, allowing players to choose their starting budget based on
three entry points: Newcomer, Challenger, and Front Runner. The
game sees real-life track updates to Australia, Spain, and Abu
Dhabi to reflect recent changes. F1® 22 also features its
critically acclaimed 10-year Career, complete with a two-player
option, and Multiplayer is back for epic races against the global
racing community.
F1® 22 will release July 1, 2022, on, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series
X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC via the EA App, Origin, Steam,
and Epic Store. Players can pre-order the F1® 22 Champions Edition
and enjoy three days early access.
