EA Sports F1 23 is out now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the EA App, Steam, and Epic Games Store. This is the official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship featuring real F1 teams, handling upgrades compared to last year, and new "Precision Drive technology for pad play."
Precision Drive will supposedly "revolutionize pad play and give players a greater sense of what it's like to handle some of the fastest vehicle sin motorsport."
The story focused mode, Braking Point, returns in F1 23 as Braking Point 2. It again focuses on the lives of Aidan Jackson and his rival Devon Butler. In the latest installment of the story, the two competitors end up becoming teammates for the newly formed Konnersport Butler Racing Team. However, a new upcoming driver, Callie Mayer (the first woman to win the F2 World Championship), is looking for her shot to dominate the world of F1. Braking Point 2 features "on and off-track decisions and actions" that will determine your Performance and Reputation levels. There are also bonus objectives and rewards to unlock through "two grueling seasons."
There's a bunch of other stuff here that will probably be of interest to F1 fans. You can read more about that below.
‘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.
