EA Sports has announced that its digital representation of Formula 1\u2019s new era is coming to consoles and PC on 1st July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F1 22<\/em> will offer the first opportunity to drive the pinnacle of motorsport\u2019s new ground effect cars<\/a> in Codemasters\u2019 ever-improving game engine, which has had its physics tweaked to replicate the 2022 season\u2019s redefined aerodynamic regulations and Pirelli\u2019s new low-profile tyres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other additions include the new-for-2021 F1 Sprint format<\/a>, the Miami Grand Prix circuit which joins the calendar in 2022, plus the amended Albert Park, Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and Yas Marina track layouts, which have been modified in an attempt to produce more wheel-to-wheel action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the series\u2019 staple features, including My Team and and a ten-year Career, F1 22<\/em> will forego last year\u2019s Braking Point story mode in favour of F1 Life, which will act as \u201ca customisable hub to show off [the player\u2019s] collection of supercars, clothing, and accessories, earned via gameplay, Podium Pass, and the in-game brand store.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps most excitingly, PC players will be able to experience F1 22<\/em> in virtual reality using an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset. Pair this with a racing wheel and pedals<\/a>, and we could be looking at the most immersive racing game on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the other end of the scale, F1 22<\/em> will also accommodate new and casual players with a new Adaptive AI feature, which will tailor the opponents\u2019 difficulty to match the player\u2019s skill, allowing everyone to remain competitive regardless of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EA Sports is yet to announce platforms for\u00a0F1 22<\/em>, so it remains to be seen whether it\u2019ll be launching on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in addition to current-generation platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
