Key features of F1 23:
Braking Point 2:
"Braking Point 2:" story mode returns with an all-new, exciting chapter featuring new rivalries and even more drama in F1® 23.
Konnersport Butler F1 Racing Team
The story focuses on the Konnersport Butler F1® Racing Team, a new fictional team, and covers the 2022 and 2023 F1® seasons. Rising young star Aiden Jackson is at odds with his brash and arrogant teammate Devon Butler. When the future of one of them is threatened by personal issues, Devon's sister and recent F2® champion Callie Mayer steps in. To bring Callie's story to life, the narrative team has recruited British racing driver Jamie Chadwick and SkySports F1® reporter Natalie Pinkham. Team director Casper Akkerman must negotiate team and family dynamics, as well as the manipulations of Devon and Callie's father (and key team sponsor Davidoff Butler). As the player's point of view shifts from character to character, the storyline unfolds through gameplay and cinematic interludes, and depends on the choices the player makes.
F1® World:
The all-new F1® World is the new hub for a variety of daily, weekly and ever-changing seasonal content and events with an all-new technical level progression system for a personalized tour of Formula 1®.
New events
Complete new challenges and participate in a variety of Solo Series competitions designed to take you on a single-player journey through different modes, tracks and experiences in F1® 23. Master different tracks, improve your driving skills, explore F2® content, race in supercar competitions and more.

From multiplayer grand prixs to race week celebrations and time trial challenges, there's something for everyone, every day of the week.
Technical level
Improve your F1® World car throughout the season with the new technical level progression system. Complete challenges, compete online and participate in events updated throughout the season to earn upgrades through gameplay to increase your technical level, which represents the performance of your F1® World car. As your technical level increases, the performance of your car increases and you gain the ability to compete in more difficult events. You can still compete above your technical level, but the challenge will be greater as a result. Better players will be able to exceed the technical level of their car, but only to a certain extent.
Upgrades
Earn upgrades and spend time tinkering in the garage to customize and develop your F1® World car to make it faster and more powerful as you progress. Upgrades in F1® World fall into two categories - car parts and team member upgrades. Car parts increase the performance of the car in the game. Team member upgrades can be boosted using the contract system to obtain additional items that can be equipped to further enhance performance.
Crafts
The new craft system in F1® World allows you to apply resources to schemes to create various upgrades, as well as craft contracts that can be equipped with gameplay modifications, new stickers that can be collected and added to your compendium and more.
License system
The new license system promotes clean racing throughout F1® World and rewards players for respecting driving.
Refreshed ranked multiplayer mode
F1® World introduces a revamped ranked multiplayer mode with a new ranking system based on divisions, the F1® 23 e-sports series and a new goal system that streamlines progress in Podium Pass. Play to earn points, climb the career ladder from bronze to elite with weekly promotions, and earn rewards and upgrades that you can apply to your technical level.
Compendium
After completing challenges in F1® World, commemorate your progress in the new Compendium, which is a virtual sticker album that celebrates everything to do with Formula 1®, past and present. Play the game, earn stickers, place them in the Compendium and complete the photos to earn more awards and accolades.
Key gameplay changes in F1 23:
Improved handling, better racing
For more predictable on-track behavior, new vehicle physics give F1® cars better grip when braking, accelerating and turning. Real-world feedback from the F1® team has been incorporated to adjust the balance between aerodynamic grip and tire grip for a more realistic experience and smoother racing. With improved engine torque and inertia changes, throttle response is more authentic and easier to adjust.
Precision Drive controller technology
Race wheel-to-wheel with more control, precision and finesse thanks to a rewrite of controller technology that gives players more confidence in key moments.
Red flags
The new Red Flags feature adds an authentic element of strategy to every F1® 23 race day.
35% distance
The new 35% race distance option allows for a realistic race strategy and setup where tire wear remains a key factor without spending too much time on each race.
