While I’m not rushing to level up with a PlayStation 5 Pro - I can’t lie - seeing and learning about the EA Sports F1 24 updates have me low-key fiend-hyped about the possibilities. How about learning about the technical enhancements and visual quality explosions of greatness dedicated for the PS5 Pro experience? Say less.

It’s all types of awesomeness and reasons to love the EA Sports F1 24 experience even more. Giddy up.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announces that EA SPORTS™ F1® 24 releases today all-new technical enhancements that elevate visual quality, gameplay, and player immersion for the PlayStation®5 Pro (PS5® Pro) in the official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship™. With stunning 8K graphics and advanced Ray Tracing, players can get closer to the grid than ever before in one of the most realistic F1® experiences to date.

As the first EA SPORTS title to run at 8K and 60Hz on console, F1® 24 features the latest EGO Engine update to fully utilize the advanced capabilities of PS5 Pro. The game includes an upgraded Quality mode with on-track Ray Tracing running at 4K/60Hz, alongside a Performance mode that doubles the pixel count of PS5 at 4K/120Hz, enhancing the visual clarity and providing a smoother racing experience at higher frame rates.

"By leveraging the power of PS5 Pro and pushing the capabilities of our EGO Engine, we've created an unparalleled level of immersion that transforms the F1 experience for our players. These enhancements push the game’s visual fidelity and performance and demonstrate our commitment to delivering an incredible experience for our players around the world," said Si Lumb, Technical Producer at Codemasters.

EA SPORTS F1® 24 includes several key innovations and features for PS5® Pro, including three new or upgraded graphics modes: 

• Quality Mode now features on-track Ray Tracing using PSSR. Codemasters leveraged Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to include more Ray Traced techniques on track for increased photorealism while maintaining the 4K/60Hz target.

• Performance Mode now runs at 4K (on 120Hz screens only). Players choosing this high frame rate will enjoy a crisp, smooth experience and extra clarity from the increased resolution.

• A new Resolution Mode delivers 8K/60Hz (on 8K screens only). Resolution mode also features Ray Traced Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination (DDGI) on track. EGO’s full suite of RT DDGI, AO, reflection and shadow effects are enabled in 8K/30Hz for cutscenes, replay Flashback and photo modes.

The F1® 24 PS5 Pro update coincides with the worldwide release of the new console.

Starting November 11*, F1® 24 players across all platforms, including PS5 Pro, will receive upgrades to Art Materials, enhancing the game's art, shader, and denoising technology. These improvements will benefit all game modes, updating trackside elements such as sponsor boards, and barriers. Additionally, shader tweaks will produce sharper reflections and a more realistic appearance, particularly in rainy conditions. The enhanced denoiser, a crucial set of algorithms used in Ray Tracing, will generate cleaner images from simulated light in real time.

EA SPORTS F1® 24 is available now across PlayStation® 5, PS5® Pro, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam. To keep up-to-date with the latest EA SPORTS F1® game news and information, visit the Formula 1® game website and follow its social channels.
