EA Sports has officially confirmed this F1 24 will be released in a few months, on May 28, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
F1 24 is the next in a long line of Formula 1 racing simulation games. F1 23 was a big hit for our hardware editor, who in his review of the racing sim singled out the “compelling Braking Point campaign” and the F1 World mode, which delivered a “feature-rich package sure to please most fans.”
The announcement trailer for F1 24 showed improved visuals and adrenaline-filled racing: “Get closer to the action, get closer to the grid.” It also explains that players who pre-order the Champions Edition before April 24, 2024 will be able to get the 2024 season liveries for McLaren, Williams Racing, Alpine and Haas, as well as the Esports liveries for Alpine and McLaren.
“Our first time F1 23 players can now immediately connect to the 2024 season with some of their favorite teams and drivers ahead of this weekend’s first Lights Out,” senior creative director at Codemasters, Lee Mather, explained in an official blog post.
There is also a new reward for loyalty offers for players who have been owners F1 21, F1 22or F1 23because they can get a 15% discount if they buy the F1 24 Champions Edition. The digital-exclusive Champions Edition gives players two new F1 icons, 18,000 PitCoin, and the F1 World Bumper Pack, which includes assets for single and multiplayer events. Players will also receive three days of early access and a bonus VIP Podium Pass.
The full disclosure for F1 24 is scheduled for April, “and we’re bringing players a revamped Career mode, a new EA Sports Dynamic Handling System and much more,” Mather said in the blog post. So it looks like there’s a lot more to look forward to, and hopefully this next installment will be a strong contender for our best racing games list.
