Watch the Launch Trailer Here
Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) celebrated the worldwide
launch of EA SPORTS™ F1® 23, an official game of the FIA Formula
One World Championship™ across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S,
PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and
Steam. Featuring handling upgrades, with feedback from actual F1®
teams, and Precision Drive™ technology for pad play, players will
feel a truly authentic experience when competing against every team
and driver across all circuits for the 2023 season, including the
highly anticipated Las Vegas Sprint Circuit™ and Losail
International Circuit, Qatar. Players will also create headlines
with the return of ‘Braking Point’, featuring a cast of new and
returning fan favourites alongside a fresh team, Konnersport,
trying to make a name for itself against the established grid.
“F1 23 has everything players love about competing for the World
Championship and propels them further into the world of Formula 1.
We’re connecting more players this season through F1 World,
delivering fresh, timely challenges throughout the 2023 season and
a new safety rating system designed to promote healthy, respectful
multiplayer competition,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director
at Codemasters. “Whether competing on wheel or pad, players will
immediately feel in control thanks to implemented feedback from
real F1 drivers. Our Precision Drive controller technology will
revolutionise pad play and give players a greater sense of what
it’s like to handle some of the fastest vehicles in
motorsport.”
‘Braking Point 2’ continues to focus on the lives of young
upstart Aidan Jackson and his nemesis Devon Butler. In the latest
chapter, the pair become teammates for the newly formed Konnersport
Butler Racing Team, but an upcoming driver, Callie Mayer, the first
woman to win the F2™ World Championship, is waiting in the wings
for a shot at the glamourous world of Formula 1®. With so much at
stake, on and off-track decisions and actions will determine
Performance and Reputation levels, unlocking bonus objectives and
rewards throughout the two gruelling seasons.
‘F1® World’ is a central part of the solo and multiplayer F1® 23
experience, connecting drivers with more ways to engage with the
sport they love through daily, weekly, and seasonal content tied to
the real-world calendar. The new-look hub helps newcomers navigate
the world of Formula 1®, creating challenges to improve their
skills before fighting for podiums. F1® World is home to beloved
modes, including Grand Prix and Time Trial and features a new
progression system, which unlocks car upgrades, liveries, race
suits, and helmets. It also improves social connection with the new
safety rating system fostering an environment of fair, competitive
racing by pairing like-minded racers. The overhauled Ranked mode
relies on equal-performance cars, so driver ability comes to the
fore with a division-based system that includes promotion and
relegation.
Reacting to player feedback, the 35% race distance, previously
only available as part of the Formula 1® Esports Series and Red
Flags, are included, adding more strategy to the race weekend.
Alongside all 23 circuits for the 2023 FIA Formula One World
Championship, including real-world updates to reflect the current
season, F1® 23 features three additional tracks, Paul Ricard
(France), Shanghai (China), and Portimão (Portugal), available for
both F1® and F2™ events. The game also includes fan-favourite
modes, including Career, My Team and vastly improved Leagues, which
can be accessed via EA Racenet, allowing players to create, join,
schedule and manage custom multiplayer championships.
F1® 23 Champions Edition is also available, featuring current
World Champion and EA SPORTS ambassador Max Verstappen as the
first-ever solo cover star. The digital-only edition comes with Max
Verstappen Racewear Pack, ‘Braking Point 2’ Icons and Vanity Item
Pack, Dual Entitlement*, an XP Boost, F1® World Bumper Pack, 18,000
PitCoin, and four new My Team Icons, Nigel Mansell, Jamie Chadwick,
Pastor Maldonado and Kamui Kobayashi.
