As F1 25 is getting ready to take to the grid in late May, EA Sports have revealed the game's release timings as well as recommended PC system specs for different resolutions.
As Formula One celebrates its 75th birthday looking back at a deep vault of racing history, F1 25 is looking forward instead. The latest - and maybe last - F1 title by EA Sports and Codemasters is set to release on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 30, or on May 27 for those who pre-ordered the Iconic Edition.
The latter is also included in EA Play Pro subscriptions, while those with a standard EA Play subscription can try the game for five hours starting May 27.
Players can pre-load the Standard Edition of F1 25 from 15:00 UTC on May 30, while the Iconic Edition will be available to install ahead of release from 15:00 UTC on May 27.
