We have an announcement and trailer for Codemasters’ next title in what will be its debut with its new parent company Electronic Arts. We’ll see how it all plays out in this second season of F1 pandemic in which many of the old European circuits have populated the calendar.
How much are you going to rush before you reach your limit? The new generation arrives with F1® 2021, the official video game of the FIA™ Formula 1 World Championship. F1® 2021 arrives full speed ahead on your PS5™, Xbox X|S Series, PS4™, Xbox One or PC via Steam on July 16 and comes packed with a host of new features that we’ll take a closer look at below.
What’s new?
Braking Point
Embark on an epic journey with “Braking Point”, our new story mode. Work your way up through the Formula 2™ ranks in an attempt to reach stardom in the world of Formula 1®. Enjoy the lifestyle on and off the track and carve a niche for yourself at the pinnacle of motorsport.
But that’s not all. Devon Butler returns after his celebrated debut in F1® 2019. Over the next few weeks we will reveal much more about him and our new story mode “Braking Point”.
Career
We are also delighted to unveil a feature you have long requested: the ability to play a Career mode with friends, either cooperatively or competitively. As each player will have full control of the assists, you’ll be able to enjoy the game whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer to the franchise.
Start of the real season
F1® 2021’s “Real Season Start” feature allows you to jump into the action with the actual current standings and take control to compete in the remaining races. It is ideal for players who want to enter a season that mirrors the real-world season.
Next-generation experience

And if you’re planning to upgrade, we’re pleased to announce that F1® 2021 will support Xbox Smart Delivery and the free PlayStation upgrade if you switch to Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation®5*.
