In just a month’s time on July 16, you'll be getting your hands on F1® 2021, and to whet your appetite, we've released the official features trailer, which you can watch below. Let's take a closer look at F1® 2021's features.
Every story has a beginning
The first stop is Braking Point, F1® 2021's story experience. Start with one of five teams and rise from the ranks of F2™ to the heights of F1®. Immerse yourself in a combination of on and off tracks moments through three seasons, with a mix of racing action and dramatic cutscenes. Compete against the current Formula 1® line-up and make a name for yourself against a new cast, and the familiar face of Devon Butler. Be prepared for some twists and turns, though we'll let you find those out for yourself!
Two-Player Career
We've added a brand-new way to play with our two-player Career mode: whether you want to work together and play cooperatively or compete against each other, with contract offers and team switches available, the choice is yours. Two-player split-screen makes its return to F1® 2021, for those of you wanting to challenge your friends, siblings, and rivals on your couch.
My Team is also available if you want to be the 11th team and take on the rest of the grid on your own terms.
Real-Season Start
F1® 2021's 'Real-Season Start' feature lets you jump into this season's action, reflecting the live standings, and take over and drive the remaining races. Great for players who want to align with the real-world season.
New Season Driver Stats
F1® 2020 introduced driver stats and a driver market to the franchise. With these, you could compare F1® and F2™ drivers based on Experience, Racecraft, Awareness, Pace and Overall Rating. This year, we're expanding both the stats, with a new Focus attribute, and market, adding seven iconic drivers included in the digital Deluxe Edition. That's not to mention that the stats will be updated throughout the season, giving you plenty of reasons to check in on how your teammate (or favourite) is doing.
More Accessible Racing
Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the Formula 1® game, we've got more options than ever with F1® 2021's Casual, Standard or Expert game modes. If you've never played an F1® game before, Casual mode could be for you, with simplified menus and setup wizards in place to help you get the best out of your experience. For those of you who have won a number of virtual world championships in your time, 'Expert' will be an excellent place for you to start your F1® 2021 journey, with a highly customisable experience. Tweak your career exactly how you want it, with lots of in-depth settings you’ll love to experiment with, such as turning car faults on and off.
The Next Generation
F1® 2021 is the first game released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, alongside Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. Taking advantage of the new hardware, F1® 2021 delivers all these features with a stunning graphical uplift, better loading times, improved force feedback, and a much more detailed damage model.
