Our take on F1® 25
The focus on official Formula One seasons brings detailed team, driver, car, and circuit updates, but it narrows the experience to a specific racing series rather than a wider collection of motorsport disciplines.
What is F1® 25?
F1 25 is a Formula One racing game covering the official 2025 season and a 2026 expansion with new teams, driver lineups, cars, regulations, and the 5.
4 km MADRING circuit in Madrid. Career and My Team modes include an extended Konnersport experience, while F1 World adds online co-op events where groups race together against AI drivers. Players can customize My Team and F1 World cars with liveries, driver numbers, and logos that can be moved, resized, or rotated. Five circuits have rebuilt, laser-scanned models, including Suzuka, and selected tracks support reverse layouts. The game also includes new cinematics and podium scenes. Some final 2026 car models are planned for a post-launch update, which requires an internet connection.

F1® 25 compared to similar games
F1 25 focuses on official Formula One seasons, named teams and drivers, circuit racing, Career and My Team modes, and online co-op events against AI drivers. KartKraft centers on karting, including the KartKross vehicle and the Brentomonte track, so it covers a kart-racing format rather than Formula One seasons and the associated career modes.
