F1 23 hits stores with a series of new features and changes that hope to be enough to convince players that one more year is worth getting the title. One of the areas where Codemasters has worked the most has been on handling and physics, which have thrived to offer better maneuverability, low-speed traction, and overall vehicle handling. His behavior promises to be more authentic. The physical calculations of tire displacement and its interaction with the car’s inertia have also been updated, and the way in which each car’s engine delivers torque has been improved.
Also new to F1 23 is the new 35% race distance, which seeks to find a balance between short and long race options, while respecting the same rules that apply to full races. In addition, red flags return, an element that disappeared from the game nine years ago. Just like in real life, a red flag will force players to rethink their strategy. Another novelty is Precision Drive technology, which promises to offer controller players a better experience. However, it will not be the same as using a force feedback wheel.
Regarding the narrative mode, Braking Point returns and this time Aiden Jackson becomes part of the Konnersport Butler Racing Team. This means that our protagonist will be the teammate of Devon Butler, his antagonist. On the other hand, we have F1 World, which aims to be a reference center for everything related to the game. That’s where you’ll find game modes, including solo and multiplayer experiences, a shared progression system, daily, weekly, and seasonal content, a revamped license tier system, and more.
Lastly, and as an officially licensed game, F1 23 features all the teams and drivers of the Formula 1 World Championship as well as the circuits that make up this year’s calendar, including the urban circuit of Las Vegas, in Nevada (USA). ), and the Losail International Circuit, in Doha (Qatar). Additionally, Circuit Paul Ricard (France), Shanghai International Circuit (China) and Algarve International Circuit (Portugal) will be included in F1 23 as legacy circuits for use in different game modes.
