The first Formula 1 game since EA acquired the developers at Codemasters launched last year, and the series continues on into 2022 with the latest game coming in the next couple of months.
While there is definitely fun to be had in the F1 series, this is a sim in the strictest of terms and is the closest you will get to feeling like you really are part of the F1 action.
There were big changes to the last game, including a brand new story mode, and we expect some form of that to be present and accounted for in F1 2022 when it hits consoles later this year.
Here is all we know so far about the upcoming F1 2022.
When is the F1 2022 release date?
The last F1 game came out in July and this one will follow suit with a set release date of Friday 1st July 2022.
Which consoles can you get F1 2022 game on?
Following on from last year’s F1 game, look for both versions of the Xbox, the X/S and the One range, to have the game, as well as a PS5 and a PS4 release. F1 2022 should also be released on PC via Microsoft Windows.
Can I pre-order F1 2022?
You can! GAME has F1 2022 listed for both the Xbox and the PlayStation, while Amazon has it available for PC. Don’t forget that pre-ordering early means that you will get the game at the lowest price between ordering and release.
How much is the F1 2022 price?
Pre-orders have the F1 2022 price as £54.99 for older consoles, while the current generation will cost you £10 more at £64.99. We’ll keep an eye out for any deals that come along between now and the game’s release.
Will F1 2022 have crossplay?
Crossplay has not yet been added to the F1 series and we suspect that it will also be missing from F1 2022. However, it has been hinted that it could be on the way.
The website Racing Games had a chat with F1 Franchise Director Lee Mather and he said on crossplay that it is “something we are continuing to work on for the future”. Fingers crossed that means it will be part of this next game, we just wouldn’t count on it.
Will F1 2022 be on Xbox Game Pass or EA Play?
It will eventually, as the game is now owned by EA, but it will be some time after release before it does and even F1 2021 has not graced either service at the time of writing – F1 2020 is on there now though!
Is there a trailer for F1 2022?
Behold the official announcement trailer for F1 2022 that was released last week – and we have to say it looks as impressive as we had hoped it would.
