Nice to have F1 22 launch on regular EA Play, now I just have to get it tweaked so it recognises my Frankensteinian Logitech wheel and Thrustmaster pedal combo. Despite it not being an issue with previous editions, '22 seems to have gone backwards when it comes to compatibility.

Just in time for my new ultrawide monitor as well! Need to find time to set it up and have some proper FOV racing done… And I’ve been yearning for some F1 action for some time now.

I’m super keen on SoulHackers 2. Especially after I learned it’s an SMT spinoff like Persona.
