Watch the Trailer for the New 'F1 25' Video Game, Coming Soon

• EA Sports' new F1 game is out May 27, bringing back both realism and storytelling elements.
• The game features a tie-in with the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie from Apple.
• Some U.S. pre-orders are bundled with free F1 TV access to watch the real-life racing.

Thanks to the behind-the-scenes peek offered by the Drive to Survive documentary team and recent tie-ups with the likes of Lego, it has never been easier to immerse yourself in the current Formula 1 racing season. Now, should you wish to put yourself in the driver's seat and have a go at wheel-to-wheel racing yourself, all you need is a Playstation, Xbox, or PC and some quick reflexes.

Launching on May 27 from EA Sports, F1 25 aims to bring all the excitement of the 2025 season to a digitized experience players can dive into. The reveal trailer is out now, featuring Lewis Hamilton in his new role at Ferrari—arguably the biggest F1 story so far this year—racing against a fictional talented rookie. That'd be you.

Along with all the expected teams and drivers from this year, F1 25 features ultra-realistic, millimeter-perfect, laser-scanned versions of many actual F1 tracks. You can jump in on the hunt for the World Championship through the driver career mode, and there's also a return of the dramatized Braking Point series from 2023. This latter storyline features the fictional Konnersport team moving up from midfield contender to battling for victories.

To build on to the full F1 experience, the game will also feature gameplay based on the upcoming Apple movie F1, launching this summer and featuring Brad Pitt. After the movie opens, playable chapters from the film will be unlocked in-game.

No matter which driver or team is your favorite, there are realistic liveries and helmet designs for all. You can cheer for whatever driver or team you like on the circuit, then hop into the game to see if you can better their result.

Add in a one-month F1 TV pass for U.S. gamers who preorder the Iconic Edition of the game, and you've got all the F1 content you can handle. If you've been watching the racing early this season and thinking you could do better, then here's your chance to prove it.
