With rumors swirling and leaks providing early insights, here’s everything we know about F1 25, including its release date, features, platforms, and community expectations.
F1 25 Announcement and Release Date
According to Lewis Hamilton... yes the 7 or 8 time world champion and EA Sports, EA Sports plans to officially reveal F1 25 on March 26, 2025. If the leaks are accurate, the game is set to launch on May 30, 2025.
For those eager to hit the track early, an Iconic Edition will reportedly grant three days of early access, starting May 27, 2025. The Standard Edition will be available at launch, offering the core game experience.
F1 25 Editions and Pricing
EA Sports is expected to offer two versions of the game:
Standard Edition – Estimated at £49.99 / $59.99
Iconic Edition – Estimated at £69.99 / $79.99 (includes early access and potential bonus content)
While official details on the Iconic Edition bonuses are yet to be confirmed, previous F1 game editions have included additional classic drivers, exclusive liveries, and in-game currency bonuses.
Platforms: No More Last-Gen Support?
One of the biggest rumored changes is the removal of support for last-generation consoles. If true, F1 25 will not be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, making it the first in the series to be exclusively developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
This shift suggests significant gameplay and graphical improvements, as developers will no longer need to optimize for older hardware. Fans are hopeful for better physics, improved AI, and a more immersive racing experience.
What Can Players Expect in F1 25?
While EA Sports has yet to officially reveal gameplay details, fans have high expectations for F1 25. Some of the most requested improvements include:
More Realistic Handling and Physics – Players want better tire wear simulation, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced car handling.
Upgraded Career Mode – A more immersive single-player experience, potentially with deeper team management features.
Expanded Multiplayer Options – More competitive online modes and better matchmaking.
Improved AI – Smarter, more aggressive AI drivers that react realistically in races.
Community Reactions: Hype or Skepticism?
The gaming community remains divided on F1 25. While some fans are excited about the potential improvements, others worry that the game may feel like a reskinned version of F1 24 with minor updates to cars, drivers, and liveries.
However, if EA Sports truly delivers next-gen enhancements, F1 25 could mark a major leap forward for the franchise.
Final Thoughts
With the official F1 25 announcement expected soon, fans won’t have to wait long to see what EA Sports has in store. If the rumored next-gen exclusivity is true, this could be the most advanced Formula 1 game yet.
Stay tuned for the official reveal on March 26, 2025, and prepare to hit the track when F1 25 launches on May 30, 2025.
