Today Electronic Arts Inc. and EA SPORTS announced that F1 23, the official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship, will be released on June 16 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam. Headlined with the return of the epic story mode Braking Point, F1 23 is home to every team, driver and circuit for the 2023 season, including the highly anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix and Lusail International Circuit, Qatar. Building on the exciting new partnership with Max Verstappen, who now boasts EA SPORTS branding on the chin of his helmet, the back-to-back World Champion is confirmed as the cover star for the digital-exclusive F1 23 Champions Edition.

"The return of Braking Point allows players to immerse themselves in a racing story, which provides a unique look at F1 alongside the authentic race features our players know and love," said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters. "Our close relationship with the teams has allowed us to refine our handling model, adding greater realism to pad-play, and implementing a new color encoding system used in film and TV creates a more true-to-life experience."




Braking Point returns for a bold new chapter following the careers of young upstart Aiden Jackson, and protagonist, Devon Butler, now teammates for Konnersport Racing Team, a fledgling organization hoping to succeed against the current real-world F1 teams and drivers. Adding a host of new characters, fresh rivalries, and racing challenges, both aim to take their careers to the next level, but there will be twists, turns, and pitfalls along the way.

F1 23's handling has been upgraded from last season, allowing for more predictable behavior, and new vehicle physics gives the cars better traction when braking, accelerating, and cornering. By incorporating actual F1 team feedback, a greater balance between aerodynamics and tire grip results in a more realistic feel. Engine torque and inertia improvements also mean throttle control is more authentic and offers a greater level of connection to the car. Alongside these improvements, Precision Drive controller technology will give pad players better control and confidence in those crucial race moments.

Following community feedback, 35% race distance makes its debut, providing the perfect sweet spot between the previous short and long race options. Additionally, red flags add a new strategic element to F1 23, and the ability to react quickly could change the outcome of a race, both for better and worse. Alongside the full 2023 season calendar, which expands to include Las Vegas and Lusail, the game also boasts three legacy circuits, with Paul Ricard (France), Shanghai (China), and Portimão (Portugal) all confirmed for launch.

The introduction of the F1 World hub delivers a fresh experience with content inspired by the real-world calendar. Helping introduce players to the complex world of Formula 1, F1 World brings together multiple game modes, including Time Trial and Grand Prix, offering an exciting new way to play the game. A new progression system allows players to level up by completing challenges to unlock car upgrades, new liveries, race suits, and helmets. A new safety rating system links online and offline play, encouraging drivers to race cleanly. This system also helps pair like-minded drivers more efficiently for improved online racing.

The digital-exclusive F1 23 Champions Edition comes with time-limited Las Vegas content, Max Verstappen Race Wear Pack, Braking Point 2 Icons and Vanity Item Pack, Dual Entitlement, four new My Team Icons, an XP Boost, F1 World Bumper Pack, 18,000 PitCoin and three days early access starting on June 13. A physical and digital Standard Edition featuring EA SPORTS ambassador Charles Leclerc alongside Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris will be available from June 16 with F1 World Starter Pack and 5000 PitCoin for those who pre-order.

I could be wrong but I think the answer is (unfortunately) yes.

RIP F1.

As F1 fan and someone who bought several F1 games from Codemasters in the past (2010,2011,2012 and 2016) im dissapointed in this.
MTX, DRM, Copy-Paste content etc. You're not getting my money EA.

As an F1 fan I'm disappointed by F1 itself, though F1 games are a missed opportunity, remove ugly Halo, put some V10s...etc

Im not disappointed in F1. It is still far more interesting than the Mercedes domination era that ended in 2021.
The games however will stagnate under EA because that is what EA does.

I don't play the F1 games anymore, but the fact you'll be able to drive on the Las Vegas track long before the real Grand Prix is pretty cool.

I was a huge fan of the Singapore track in F1 2010-2013. It looked fantastic in the rain at night. I hope the Las Vegas track will look even more spectacular.

So pointless to put these games on Steam if Origin is still required.

Steam's content delivery network is more robust than EA's servers.

Also, the Steam desktop client makes archiving games a snap. You cannot archive games with the EA desktop client.

You can also move Steam games from one system to another by copying the game directory and the corresponding appmanifest_NN.acf file. You cannot move EA game directories from one machine to another.

Pro tip: if you change the permissions of the acf file to read-only, you can prevent the game from being patched any further. This is of particular interest to any PC gamer who has heavily modded a game and doesn't want a random game patch clobbering their carefully crafted collection of mods.

While that might not be applicable for this title, it does demonstrate why Steam game installations are vastly better than EA game installations.

The EA game launcher is trash. It's not much more than a proxy to EA's DRM servers.
