EA SPORTS F1 25 has officially hit the track. The latest entry in the Formula 1 video game franchise was released today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, promising to deliver the most realistic racing simulation of the series so far.

The brand say that further story content is set to roll out over time, beginning on June 30.
Additionally, this year’s Braking Point introduces multi-character perspectives and spans a full two seasons, allowing players to experience the highs and lows – as well as the politics of – contending for the title from more than one seat. EA has also introduced a reworked My Team mode, with My Team 2.0 letting players take on the role of team owner to build an F1 operation from scratch – everything from the team’s engineering to its personnel can be controlled, and players can easily switch between modes to manage or drive at their leisure.
Adding to the new title’s realism is the fact game developer, Codemasters, digitally scanned six real life tracks “using LIDAR” and “captured during live race weekends”, including Silverstone, Bahrain, Miami, Melbourne, Suzuka, and Imola. It makes racing these tracks in-game the closest thing to actually doing so in real life, offering fans a unique perspective that’s not found in any other games.
In celebration of its launch, EA paired up the seven-time Formula One World Drivers’ Championship winner Lewis Hamilton with professional footballer Kylian Mbappé for what it calls a “a sprint showdown ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix” this weekend. Check out the video above.
