The new Dynamic Handling feature was developed with insight from reigning F1 champion Verstappen, and will enhance the gaming experience with precision controls – redefining the feel of the car and producing the most realistic performance in F1 gaming history across both wheel and controller.
Iconic venues from the F1 calendar, including Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, Lusail International Circuit and Jeddah Corniche Circuit, have been enhanced in the new release, ensuring that players are experiencing the authentic circuit to really bring F1 to life in their home.
The popular ‘Career’ mode has been overhauled in F1 24, with players able to choose from a legendary icon from the sport’s past, an up-and-coming competitor in Formula 2, or their own created character as they compete for championship glory.
The multiplayer game mode ‘F1 World’ will return for its second season, with players using their favourite team and driver over the course of a Podium Pass campaign, competing in a time-limited league that involves reaching collaborative goals whilst battling against rival teams.
