Story mode (Braking Point)

One of the main attractions in F1 25 is the story mode called Braking Point. This is the third chapter of the story that was started in the F1 23. We are once again following the fate of the fictional team Konnersport, which is dealing with chaos after a certain "dramatic event".

Career mode

The second pillar of the game is the career mode, which can be played in two ways. We can race as the boss of our own fictional team or limit ourselves to the role of an F1 driver from one of the real teams. That first option is called My Team 2.0 and it introduces a perk system that allows specialization in selected management areas.

F1 World, multiplayer, split-screen

F1 25 also offers the opportunity to participate in time trials or quick races - they are available through the F1 World module, which includes a separate progression system and seasonal events. We can compete alone (against AI drivers) or with other players - via the Internet (also on other platforms thanks to the cross-platform function), using a local network or on a split screen.

Engine, VR

Just like the previous installments of the series, F1 25 was developed using the Ego engine (created by Codemasters). The game s virtual reality headsets (VR) on personal computers.

TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Dominic Leighton

F1 25 is a clear improvement over last year's entry, with improved handling, the returning Braking Point story mode and more all coming together to create an excellent F1 racing experience.

DualShockers: 7.5 / 10 by Jaime Tugayev

However, for most players, especially those running controllers or with multiple assists on, this is just $59.99 to have a slightly more polished experience than F1 24. Here's hoping the 2026 regulations bring the change that both virtual and real series need.

XboxEra: 8.5 / 10 by Győző Baki

F1 25 is a quite small upgrade over F1 24, but the presence of Braking Point 3, content from the F1 movie and improved career options ensure more unique race experiences, especially for solo players who want to do a full immersion of the Formula 1 experience.
