F1 2021 revealed: Xbox series X|S and PlayStation 5

Codemasters and EA have announced F1 2021, the official videogame of the 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship.

The game will be available worldwide on the new consoles including Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with faster load times and even greater graphical fidelity.

The new features in F1 2021 include the game having a brand-new story mode, expanded Career mode with a two-player split-screen, and three new circuits, among others.

Braking Point, a new story mode, takes players on a journey as they rise from the ranks of F2 to earn a seat on the F1 grid. It immerses players into the glamorous world of F1 and allows them to live the highs and lows of life in Formula 1, both on and off the track: the rivalries, emotion, and dedication needed to compete at the highest level.

Lee Mather, Franchise Game Director at Codemasters, said, “Braking Point transforms the game and puts players centre stage in the greatest racing spectacle on the planet.”

F1 2021 will be released on July 16. Players can pre-order the F1 2021: Deluxe Edition to get up to three days early access and additional exclusive content including seven classic F1 drivers for use in My Team, 18,000 PitCoins, and the Braking Point Content Pack.
