What fresh hell is this??? Has Codemasters completely lost their minds???
Itās the new F1 game, with not-F1 cars as the feature!
I N N O V A T I O N
Was pretty much my reaction too.
I donāt know. Nothings confirmed so it may just be that Tom Henderson is reaching a bit here. But his rumours and leaks often pan out.
If it is real, itās most likely an EA driven idea to further monetise the game - āLike Lewisā outfit? Buy it for your character now!!ā I doubt the Codemasters folk are too thrilled with the idea.
NFTās! This is how EA is going to shoehorn them into the game.
Not sure if this is the correct place for this but I couldnāt find a more suitable topic.
I have downloaded F1 2021 now that it is on Xbox Game Pass, is everyone over this game or is anyone going to give it a try or return?
Still no cross-platform?
I donāt think so.
Preview and reveal of new content coming in F1 2022 perhaps?
The new era awaits. Find out more on April 21, 4pm BST | 5pm CEST | 8am PDT.
So not much in terms of āfinding out moreāā¦ A 30-second announcement trailer and a confirmed release date - 1 July. Seriously unimpressed.
Biggest nuggets of news:
F1Ā® 22 also includes VR compatibility on PC via Oculus Rift and HTC Vive to give you the ultimate immersive F1Ā® experience.
Get a taste of the glitz and glamor of Formula 1Ā® in F1Ā® Life, a new space for you to unlock and show off supercars, clothing, accessories, and more for the world to see.

Summary of the trailer:
āNothing to see hereā¦ move along to the pre-orderā¦ nothing to seeā¦ā
Very disappointing! And F1 Life is going to be a microtransaction dystopian hellscape. I fear this will be the first F1 game since 2017 that I donāt get at launch.

Eeewww!
Redefine the race weekend with all-new cars, Sprint Races, circuit updates, and more when #F122game launches on July 1 for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
Itās a good list of features and to be honest my disinterest has grown into yearning. But alas that asking price is far too much for it. Iāll see how quickly the jolly rodger gets its hands on it.
