Formula 1 official game F1 2022 – release date has now been announced and it’s already available for pre-order

Codemasters and Electronic Arts, the designers of F1 2022 have announced the official release date of the game. F1 22 will be released worldwide on July 1, and include the new Miami circuit plus layout changes to the likes of Australia and Abu Dhabi, F1 Sprint events and the new era of Formula 1 cars with overhauled rules. It will also include PC VR functionality via Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Players have a chance to step further into the glamourous world of F1 with ‘F1 Life’ – a customisable hub to show off supercars, clothing and accessories earned via gameplay, Podium Pass and the in-game store.

F1 2022 is now available to pre-order

Users can now pre-order the game a month before it’s officially released. By pre-ordering the Champions Edition before May 16, players will get three days of early access and a time-limited Miami-inspired content pack. Pre-order also bring exciting bonus packs.

In the ‘My Team’ section of the game, players are now given a choice of starting budget and three entry scenarios. The 10-year career mode also returns as does the two-player career option and the epic online multiplayer mode.

F1 2022 has an early release date compared to other editions

Codemasters have a history of launching new games in July but it’s generally the second week of July. The early release this time on July 1 definitely comes as a pleasant surprise for the players.

The game is being portrayed as the new era of F1 gaming. “We look forward to welcoming our players to the new era of Formula 1,” said Lee Mather, F1 Senior Creative Director at Codemasters.

We certainly can’t wait to get our hands on the new edition!
