It’s all in the details but just rest assured May 31 is a global celebration for F1 24 gamers.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced that EA SPORTS™ F1 23 players can jump into Time Trial challenges with selected all-new 2024 team cars prior to this weekend’s opening race by pre-ordering* EA SPORTS™ F1 24, coming May 31 across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam. For a time-limited period, a new loyalty program rewards drivers who own any of F1 2021, F1 22, or F1 23 with a 15% discount when they pre-order the F1 24 Champions Edition. As a bonus, players will also receive the McLaren and Alpine 2023 F1 esports liveries, which will seamlessly carry over to F1 24.

"For the first time, our F1 23 players can now connect immediately with the 2024 season with some of their favourite teams ahead of this weekend’s first Lights Out," said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters. "Our full reveal is coming soon, and we’re bringing players an overhauled Career mode, a new EA SPORTS Dynamic Handling System, and so much more."

Alongside a second wave of new season liveries coming at the end of April, players who pre-order will receive several valuable items connected directly to F1 24 at launch.
