The next entry in Formula One games is just around the corner with Codemasters and EA’s F1 2021, which releases July 16 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC on Steam.
This is the first next-gen outing for the official videogame of the 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship and it’s packed full of the drivers, teams and tracks of the sport – including a bunch of new modes and features that looks to make this the best racer in the series yet.
F1 2021 features a brand new story mode called Braking Point, which immerses you as a driver rising through the ranks from Formula 2 to Formula 1, where you play through three seasons while experiencing on and off the track moments through gameplay and dramatic cutscenes.
The game also features a two-player cooperative or competitive career mode, which includes contract offers and team switches to get the advantage over your rival. Two-player split screen also makes a return so you can play alongside friends and family from the comfort of your couch.
Other features include Real-Season Start, which allows you to play the real-world season by jumping into the current standings and driving the remaining races. Casual play, esports integration, online multiplayer and the My Team mode is also included, where you form your own team by choosing your livery, engine supplier and drivers.
Codemasters
