F1 25 The latest episode of a developed racing series from officially licensed EA sports and code masters. And while this year’s game certainly has some welcome additions, we have eliminated the feeling of upgrading more than the previous topics.
Review the information
Platform reviewed: PS5
Available: PS5, Xbox Series X | S, pc
Date of Release: May 30, 2025
I still enjoy these games as the head of Formula 1, and fans of this game will get a lot to like about this year’s release. The return of the Breaking Point Campaign Mode is a special thing, which is once again presented a surprisingly compelled story, which is a roster of charismatic characters.
Changes to my team career options are also very welcome. Although this is not exactly what I was expecting (and in some cases it is lacking), it is now quite less than thinking and is able to play with the same driver career.
In the upper part of it, the new Deccan Editor is a beautiful addition, which gives you even more freedom to customize your car liver. All the welcome features for a series that are normalized in our best racing game guide.
The game also benefits from the exemption of the current generation, as some tracks have been fully re -reproduced through leather scanning. Although these are just a handful of circuits at the moment, they undoubtedly look more detailed and lifetime than last year’s game.
But even with these new additions, F1 25 Like the last few games of the series cannot avoid being surprisingly matching, especially F1 24 Of course this is the nature of the annual release, of course, especially in the EA Games. But it goes F1 25 Feeling a bit like it’s going through movements once you experienced a new addition. I am really hoping that with the real -world rules of the game in 2026, the next entry of the code Masters can provide a more remarkable shake -up to the long -run franchise.
The life of a butler
I think it is appropriate to say F1 25 There is plenty of content to enjoy for these people who like to play solo. And if this code is your first time with the Masters F -One Game, I recommend checking a lot of breaking point campaign.
Breaking Point Faculty Conars Port Racing Team Follows trial and tribulations, which takes the role of the eleventh organization on the grid. The latest entry follows the team in the season of 2024 and 2025, as they reach the real title contenders from midfield giants.
The highlight of the breaking point is its story and cut senses, who are alive by the roster of highly talented actors. This third entry is still the most compelled, and I have felt the roots of Conraor Permanently because it repeatedly surrenders because of all kinds of failures and conflicts.
The breaking point also doubles as an excellent tutorial. Each chapter is focused on a certain track and introduces concepts such as mechanical failures, red flags, pit stops, and team orders.
There is some replay value to go around this time, as the heartbeat of some particular story allows you to choose some chapters of Kon Conersport – Eden Jackson and Kali Mayer. Such decisions will affect your team’s reputation, performance, optional purposes and the team on news and social media.
In about 5-6 hours, this is a well, compact story mode and get new players to get to fast with this game. Provides better, while provides a great story. For me, that’s the best thing F1 25, And I hope the Code Masters will find more opportunities for future games like Breakpoint like Story Mode.
Knowledge of the wheel
This year, this year is also able to join my team career mode F1 25 It has provided the most important upgrade. This is not quite a look at what you expected, but at least enables the mood to play alongside the driver’s career mode, which has upgraded it in last year’s game.
By some depth, you will select the principal of your team from a variety of preset avatars. One of them is the maximum choice F1 25 (For both drivers made from your principal and player, which is great), even if you do not see them more during your own career mode.
After that you will have to choose your initial budget, administrative style, and the progress of car development, each has three presents. From there, you will choose a title sponsor, your engine provider, and two of your initial drivers.
The drivers are where it looks like my team’s first mess with my team’s restoration. Your initial budget does not matter, you will be able to choose two of the six drivers, who are apparently randomly chosen. If you wanted Victor Martins or Franco Colpento, but did not get them in their list, you would need to come back and start a fresh savings. Even you can’t defeat any F -One talent, rather than start a driver’s conversation with them, which is in your first season.
The actual administrative aspect of things is better. Research and development are now divided into two parts, which means that you have to make new upgrades after research. You will often find yourself to choose which of your drivers upgrades them on their cars. Especially if, somewhere, you have the budget to make just one part, or you choose to make two, and one of them is delayed.
The best
I’ve always been a fan of the Code Masters Breaking Point Campaign Series, and it’s back with a third outout F1 25. It feels like the end of the Tri, and it is once again impressed with the best katasin, acting, and stake. Even this time, some replay value has been encouraged, because you are able to choose which of which driver you are able to select which you control in some places of the campaign.
Like a very Frontier F1 Manager 24For, for, for,. You will also need to spend money on upgrade, which benefits the broader team. These personnel, engineering, and financial upgrades, and can benefit you greatly in a long time. I personally prefer to get engineering at high speeds, which allowed me to have many parts of research and development at the same time. It was very important in my first year with a back marking car, which was urgently needed to upgrade the performance at the final end of the set of the rules.
The most compelling thing about my team 2.0 is that the whole thing feels like a balanced act. Even two of your two drivers have to control the weekend of the race. For example, if one of your drivers has been trapped on the back for a few weeks, it can have a serious negative effect on the morale. Therefore, taking their manual control over the better chance of scoring points can be a surprise to their mentality and future prospects.
I liked my team 2.0 more than last year’s driver’s career restoration. Especially in it F1 25, Where the driver’s carrier remains the same – even with the same (frustrated) introductory Katasan.
Thankfully, usually feels better in racing solo F1 25. This is largely thankful for some AI improvements I have seen in my time with the game. It seems that the computer -controlled drivers now launch much better than the initial grid, which means you are less likely to overtake their entire pitcher immediately before the turn. They also better defend their positions at the highest level of difficulties, and when the DRS is straight from the bottom, they are not opposed to crossing the dangerous limit.
Something on the scanners
F1 25 He also benefits from the introduction of leather scanning for a handful of circuits. This is a process that includes the team’s high level of detail and realism, taking the laser scans of some real -world tracks.
Five tracks have been treated Leather F1 25: Albert Park, Suzuka, Bahrain, Miami, and Amola. There is a significant confrontation in visual loyalty to these circuits. Grass, curbs and road surfaces all appear to be very flat. In the upper part, the track side is a ton of detail.
Drivers have improved even more visual improvements, which now look more like their real world counterparts. Such smart upgrades ensure that the series is well positioned to improve its graphics over the next few years, and I am hoping that the code masters are continuing this pace.
Now, this means that there is a clear contradiction between the leather scanned tracks and those who cannot yet get it. In addition, I found some very disturbing visual insects on some circuits where items from time to ically. The existence will begin to flicker. This is not every track, but it made racing in the Circuit of America, Mexico City, and Zandwort, which is more painful, in a couple of two pairs.
Should I play F1 25?
If play it …
If not play it …
Juice
F1 25 Once again, all striped players have considerable leakage and support options.
As always, you can set traction control as well as the severity of steering and brakes, and do you want elements like safety cars and pits to be automatic. There are also some easy subtitling options, letting you adjust their size and background fading. Many languages ​​are also supported for team radio messages.
Racing wheel players are also not being released. F1 25 Control settings support many excellent racing wheels. It also includes PS5 racing wheels and PC racing wheels, which include adjusting the overall steering sensitivity, force feedback integration and more.
How did I review F1 25
I wandered in 25 hours F1 25 On PS5. It included some time in the Breaking Point campaign, with my team and the driver’s career, and the challenge -based F -World Mode, which has been greatly changed this year’s admission.
I mainly played with a double sensation controller on the LG CX OLED TV, occasionally tied my Rig 900 Max HS gaming headset to experience more deep audio while driving.
