EA F1 25 - Xbox Series X

Highlights

• Be The Owner In My Team “2.0”
• Get ready to create your own F1® stories in fan-favorite My Team mode, with its largest update since its introduction.
• My Team invites you to take control as the Owner of your own Formula One™ team, placing more emphasis on managing the fates of both drivers in your team, and the team itself. The new Owner Perks system gives you the chance to specialize in your preferred areas of team management, and when the race weekend comes around, choose either of your two drivers as you get behind the wheel.
• The progression system has been updated and you’ll battle to improve the Fan Rating of your team by achieving objectives and winning key Rivalries against other teams in the championship.
• Away from the track, you’ll run your team from an all-new Team HQ, an evolving space that will grow in scale, population, activity, and branding as you build your team’s reputation and staff. Complete facility upgrades and training courses to upgrade your HQ and make sure your team is ready for anything.
• Research and Development are now separate branches of your team giving you more flexibility to choose when you manufacture a new part and how you choose to apply it. Completing only one of a new upgrade package is faster, but you need to choose which driver gets the upgrade first, which will affect their motivation and your leverage in contract negotiations.
• Manage the size of your workforce, development costs, and facilities costs to balance your team’s effectiveness against your expenses, ensuring you don’t risk breaching the cost cap. Break that spending limit, and you’ll face severe consequences going into the next season.
• Sponsors matter more than ever, unlocking extra benefits and customisation options, from decals to full liveries. Each sponsor’s brand values will impact their expectations of your team and the goals they expect you to achieve and your relationships with your partners will develop over time. As your fan rating increases, you’ll also need to balance your legacy sponsors with more lucrative offers from new brands.
• Finally, gain more control over how you want to play out your F1® fantasy. You can choose to enable or disable each of the individual driver Icons and, for the first time, whether the AI teams can recruit Icons. Don’t forget, after playing Braking Point, you can play as Konnersport in My Team.
• Experience the Next Thrilling Chapter of Braking Point
• The legacy of the Konnersport team is at stake as a dramatic event throws the team into chaos. Can the team fight back and finally put itself in contention for the World Championship? This thrilling chapter introduces new features that let you experience the story your way, including alternative scenarios where you choose which driver to play in key races. Your choices lead to different on-track objectives, and even a different take on the story’s exciting conclusion.
• Braking Point part 3 also features rebalanced difficulty levels, and a tougher Hard mode, making it simpler for both newcomers and veteran F1 racers to find a difficulty level that suits their racing experience. The performance capture of our actors has been reworked with NVIDIA Audio2Face technology for more accurate facial animation to truly immerse you in the story.
• Take Konnersport’s Legacy Beyond the Braking Point Story
• For the first time, you can extend your Konnersport experience through other game modes. Once you’ve finished Braking Point, take the team into Driver Career or My Team. In both modes, Konnersport becomes the eleventh team on the grid; in Driver Career, with you playing as one of its drivers, or in My Team, take over as Team Principal to continue the team’s journey.
• Design Your Own Team With Enhanced Customisation
• To enhance both My Team and F1® World, car customisation in F1® 25 has been revamped with new tools that will allow you to create liveries that are more reflective of Formula One®. Instead of fixed “slots” for sponsor logos, stickers can now be moved, scaled, and rotated on the surface of the car. Each sponsor will have its own brand guidelines, and some liveries will be linked to specific sponsors, making for more realistic and compelling designs. We’ve also listened to our community to bring in the much-requested customisable driver numbers. When choosing your personal number, you can now change the fonts and colours.
• Push The Limits On Sub-Centimetre Accurate LIDAR Circuits
• F1® 25 marks the beginning of our journey to update every circuit in the game with LIDAR (laser scanned) models of the real Grand Prix™ venues. This year, experience five rebuilt tracks; Bahrain, Miami, Melbourne, Suzuka, and Imola. The LIDAR models in EA SPORTS™ F1® are uniquely built using data scanned during actual F1® race weekends. Each circuit brings sub-centimetre accuracy to every bump and curve on the asphalt, and the F1®-supplied data includes extra detail that is only present during an F1® weekend. From additional safety barriers, TV cameras, and marshall posts to advertising boards, fan areas, and more. We’ve even paid attention to the placement and species of trees and updated the asphalt textures to make them more accurate than ever. Experience the most detailed circuits ever released for an F1® game.
• Team Up For New Online Co-op Events
• Gear up for a brand new cooperative multiplayer mode in F1® World. Invitationals are new challenges where you and your friends race as a squad against AI drivers. Work as a team to earn points together with the emphasis firmly on collaboration to unlock shared rewards. Find Invitational Event Keys throughout F1® 25 to unlock these challenges, and grab your mates to overcome the odds, especially in the toughest races on offer.
• And More!
• From an updated Flashback system to path-traced lighting (PC only), and even improved sparks and smoke –you’ll find many smaller improvements throughout F1® 25. The game features new cinematics (including new media and paddock scenes starring Naomi Schiff, Natalie Pinkham, and Anthony Davidson), updated podium scenes with more variety in crowd size and atmosphere depending on the circuit, and even Reverse Tracks, allowing you to enjoy the Austrian, Dutch, and British Grand Prix venues from a whole new perspective.
