As a devoted fan of the F1 series, I was initially concerned when I heard about the potential layoffs at EA Sports, but I’m relieved to learn that they still hold the rights to the franchise through at least 2027. Regardless of any internal changes, I’ll eagerly anticipate future updates and installments in the F1 series!
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed that the latest installments of this series have drawn quite a divide among fans. The inclusion of microtransactions, repetitive gameplay, and some peculiar elements – none of which seem to align with what we, the fanbase, have ever expressed a desire for – have been points of contention.
The F1 gaming platform faced a wave of criticism when it unveiled in-game items like cushioned sofas and table lamps, whereas the novelty of reversed tracks introduced in F1 25 was an unexpected concept that few dedicated players had proposed to the developers before.
The agreement among EA, Codemasters, and F1 was initially sealed in 2019, marking a collaborative journey for both EA and Codemasters on various projects until F1’s 25th edition.
A New Dawn or The Same Old Story?
According to a spokesperson from EA, they’ve extended the contract by another two years, implying that they’ll likely continue making the series, much like they have in past years.
It appears that an extension provision has activated, meaning Electronic Arts (EA) will maintain control for the next two years. However, it’s unclear at this point if Codemasters will still be part of the equation.
Before the official announcement, fans had been discussing the possibility that iRacing might be taking over the series. This potential change could result in a significantly more authentic and simulated racing experience.
It appears that Electronic Arts (EA) might capitalize on the upcoming release of the F1 film featuring Brad Pitt this year, potentially sparking greater enthusiasm for the sport and their game series if the movie lives up to expectations.
For the Formula 1 (F1) series and its participants, it remains unclear what the future holds. It might signal a transformative period where many past mistakes are addressed and rectified, or conversely, we may be witnessing the gradual decline of F1 games, similar to how FIFA evolved into EA Sports FC.
