“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. “Our
close relationship with the teams has allowed us to refine our
handling model, adding greater realism to pad-play, and
implementing a new color encoding system used in film and TV
creates a more true-to-life experience.”
Braking Point returns for a bold new chapter following the
careers of young upstart Aiden Jackson, and protagonist, Devon
Butler, now teammates for Konnersport Racing Team, a fledgling
organization hoping to succeed against the current real-world F1®
teams and drivers. Adding a host of new characters, fresh
rivalries, and racing challenges, both aim to take their careers to
the next level, but there will be twists, turns, and pitfalls along
the way.
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.
Following community feedback, 35% race distance makes its debut,
providing the perfect sweet spot between the previous short and
long race options. Additionally, red flags add a new strategic
element to F1® 23, and the ability to react quickly could change
the outcome of a race, both for better and worse. Alongside the
full 2023 season calendar, which expands to include Las Vegas and
Lusail, the game also boasts three legacy circuits, with Paul
Ricard (France), Shanghai (China), and Portimão (Portugal) all
confirmed for launch.
The introduction of the F1® World hub delivers a fresh
experience with content inspired by the real-world calendar.
Helping introduce players to the complex world of Formula 1®, F1®
World brings together multiple game modes, including Time Trial and
Grand Prix, offering an exciting new way to play the game. A new
progression system allows players to level up by completing
challenges to unlock car upgrades, new liveries, race suits, and
helmets. A new safety rating system links online and offline play,
encouraging drivers to race cleanly. This system also helps pair
like-minded drivers more efficiently for improved online
racing.
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
