Racing
Out July 13 (deluxe)/July 16 (regular) for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One
The first licensed Formula One racing game to fall under the EA Sports banner in nearly 20 years (thanks to a recent acquisition of longtime F1 game studio Codemasters), the 2021 installment in the annual series also marks the franchise's first appearance on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. In addition to the returning career mode (which now features two-player co-op and competitive gameplay, as well as a new real-season start option), there's a new story mode called "Braking Point" that traces your team's journey from F2 to F1 across three seasons.
