F1 2023 features & modes
To improve gameplay, F1 2023 will have refined features such as a new handling model and new physics. They also increased race distances by 35% to allow for longer races.
Breaking Point 2, a brand new story mode for all players, will be included in F1 2023. There will also be new circuits and MyTeam racing, which allows you to create your own racing team out of friends or people you meet online. F1 World, a new game mode coming to F1 2023, will provide players with a realistic F1 experience.
F1 23 early leaks
Though F1 23 has not officially been announced by Codemasters, early information about the game has surfaced. The leak describes F1 World, a new multiplayer mode that will replace F1 Life, and a new car upgrade system in which players will be able to earn parts by completing challenges, winning races, and achieving other objectives.
According to new leaks, F1 23 will include a new car upgrade system that will allow you to earn car parts by winning races and completing objectives. This should provide a much-needed overhaul to the current R&D system.
Game story
This time, the story introduces a brand-new sports team, Konnersport, presumably to allow for the kinds of plot shenanigans that a multi-million dollar sports team with sponsors to keep happy would never approve of.
Aiden Jackson, as well as his perfectly punchable nemesis Devon Butler, return, but this time they’re joined by Butler’s sister Callie Mayer, an F2 champion vying for a spot on the F1 squad, introducing fiddly family politics into the sporting action. How easy is it to hold both a game controller and a bag of popcorn?
Early access
Obviously, there appears to be a way to play before this date. Last season, the Champions Edition gave players three days of early access, as is customary for Codemasters and EA Sports games. We fully anticipate that a premium edition will include early access as well as additional PitCoins, liveries, and other benefits.
Official trailer
Could it possibly be any earlier?
The F1 franchise differs from the rest of EA Sports’ major titles in that it is released far into the season it replicates, rather than shortly after or just before the season begins.
It’s been a few years since EA acquired Codies, and there haven’t been many major influences on the title, but one could be a push to move the game forward within the season.
This would be appreciated by fans, as F1 22 is now officially out of date with the sport, with new drivers, team sponsors, and car regulations to contest in 2023.
So, could there be a small push this year, followed by a larger push for F1 24? Maybe. It would certainly put Codemasters to the test, but even reaching the end of May would be a significant improvement for fans.
EA Sports teases F1 23
The F1 23 release date appears to be imminent, as EA Sports has teased the game for the first time.
EA Sports has hinted at a “fresh start” for the series, implying that F1 23 will see significant changes. It could get a new graphics and physics engine, but we won’t know the details until the official announcement, which could happen in a few days.
