F1 22 | Newly Released Trailer Lists New In-Game Features

F1 22 Features Trailer.jpg
Another trailer has been released for F1 22, this time detailing a list of significant new features for this year's game.

The latest installment in the Codemasters F1 series is set to be released across most major platforms on July 1st, 2022. This year's edition features a significant list of new features, and a new video trailer has been released to detail them.

Perhaps the most significant change concerns the updated physics. Formula 1's regulation changes this season led to the creation of cars that perform significantly different than the outgoing year.

There are new game modes to play with this year as well. F1's Sprint races have been added, along with formation laps. Also, the notoriously elusive safety cars from past titles look to be more commonplace in F1 22.

For those looking to immerse themselves in the life of a Formula 1 driver on and off the track, the F1 Life mode has been significantly expanded. Room, wardrobe and even cars can be added for your character. For the cars, eight supercars have been included in the title, which can be used in the Pirelli Hot Lap mode.


Track updates to Spain, Australia and Abu Dhabi will be included, along with the new Miami Grand Prix site. We will have the chance to try these and the remaining circuits on the calendar solo or with friends, as career mode can be completed with two players.

Accessibility seems to be a priority in this version, as a new Adaptive AI mode tailors the AI difficulty to your driving capabilities. Those capabilities should also be easier to improve thanks to an enhanced practice mode that helps you learn various circuits. Driving assists will be present once again, but this year the option to revise the difficulty will be available at the conclusion of each race weekend.

And of course, the biggest news for PC sim racers; VR will be supported in this year's title for the first time.

F1 22 will be released on July 1st, just ahead of the 2022 British Grand Prix. It will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4,Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

If any of these features pique your interest, leave us a comment below.

that depends on the license deal with FIA.
I don't think, Codemasters have a common license to add every season they want as goodie.
I think it could be cheaper for them to take e.g. F1 2012, rework it with latest tech and VR and rerelease it as F1 2012 remastered.
But who would buy it then. Current owners won't pay twice, new customers would't buy an old ( remastered) game full price.
lose/lose i'd say.
mate, I didn't said they should make separate new game with iconic cars/seasons.
they could ADD F1 2012 to, say, this F1 2022 game ? or if it's too late for that now maybe next year.

I looove old cars but really can't force myself to drive them often, maybe hot lap here and there, since they're scattered in span over.... how much.... 40 years ? :alien:
immersion killer for me, can't help it.

Its about the license.
They have to pay adittional fee. And es we know how expensive FIA is, it will be some millions.
That could cost some ten dollars more per copy.
Thats why i suggested to remaster an old game. The fees are already paid.
