Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) confirmed the first EA SPORTS™ F1® 23 real-world challenges and free items available via ‘F1® World’, the new in-game hub that connects drivers with more ways to engage with the sport they love through daily, weekly, and seasonal content. Over the course of the season, F1® 23 will deliver fresh content from studio-curated scenarios, Multiplayer races, Community Grands Prix, and Hot Laps challenges for players to compete in. Players can earn exclusive rewards tied to the 2023 season, such as special edition liveries, driver helmets, race suits, and more. As a bonus, all players who log in during the Austria Grand Prix weekend will receive Max Verstappen’s special edition Miami Grand Prix race helmet.*
“We’re always looking for more ways to partner closely with Formula 1 and the F1 teams, and F1 World unlocks that potential and enables us to create real-world challenges and reward players with free exclusive one-off items for use throughout the season,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters. “F1 Replays is another huge step forward allowing our players to jump into the previous Grand Prix and re-write history by competing with an identical grid.”
Each month, ‘F1® World’ will be the home to a series of gameplay challenges that will test even the most seasoned veteran. To launch the regular content updates and celebrate this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, players can compete in a hot lap challenge at the Red Bull Ring and instantly receive the iconic Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Miami Grand Prix car livery for use across ‘F1® World’ and My Team modes. Other ‘F1® World’ items can be earned with bronze, silver and gold challenge rewards depending on lap time.
Available later in July, all-new ‘F1® Replays’ allows armchair F1® drivers to show they have what it takes by reliving the previous race and taking control of any of the 20 drivers in a replica Grand Prix. With the grid positions identical to those set for race day, players can now showcase their driving ability and see if they can match or improve on any of the driver’s performances. ‘F1® Replays’ will appear in ‘F1® World’ following a race weekend.
‘F1® World’ is just one of the exciting game modes that await players when they take to the grid in F1® 23, an official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship™ across PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation® 4, Xbox One, and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam. Alongside competing on every circuit for the 2023 season with all teams and drivers, players can live the drama of Formula 1® in ‘Braking Point 2’, experience racing intensity thanks to improved handling for wheel players through real F1® driver feedback and the all-new Precision Drive™controller technology, and socially connect and race with l drivers of matching ability thanks to the new safety rating system fostering an environment of fair, competitive racing.
