F1 25 is an upcoming racing video game developed by Codemasters and published by EA Sports. It is the eighteenth entry in the F1 series and holds the license for the 2025 Formula One and Formula 2 championships. The game will be released on 30 May 2025 for PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.[a][1]

The game marks the first Formula One game entry not to be released on eighth-generation consoles since F1 2014, as F1 25 focuses on current-gen consoles.[2][3][4]

Story mode: Braking Point 3

[edit]

The Braking Point story mode that was introduced in F1 2021 is set to return in F1 25, set in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Drivers Callie Mayer (voiced by Emer Kenny) and Aiden Jackson will both return in Braking Point, as will Casper Akkerman, Devon Butler, Davidoff Butler, and Andreo Konner. The story mode will see the Konnersport Butler Global Racing Team challenge for the world championship.[5]

Development and release

[edit]

Prior to the reveal, F1 25 logos were already present in Formula One's 2025 race graphics. On 25 March 2025, Lewis Hamilton was announced to be the driver in the cover image for the 'Iconic Edition' of the game, boasting his red Ferrari overalls, and announced a reveal date of 26 March.[6] The standard edition of the game features Oliver Bearman of Haas, Carlos Sainz Jr. of Williams, and Oscar Piastri of McLaren, and their respective cars, on the cover image, marking the first time since F1 2015 and 2016 that Williams and Haas drivers, respectively, are present on the cover.[7] The game also features the livery of the fictional APXGP team as it appears in the upcoming F1 film alongside scenarios inspired by the film that players can undertake.[8]
