F1 2021 is the official video game of the 2021 Formula One and Formula 2
Championships developed by Codemasters and published by EA Sports. It
is the fourteenth title in the F1 series by Codemasters and the first in
the series published by Electronic Arts under its EA Sports division
since F1 Career Challenge in 2003. The game is scheduled to be released
on July 16, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5,
Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. The deluxe edition of F1 2021 is set to
release 3 days before on July 13, 2021.


Codemasters revealed F1 2021 on April 15, 2021 as the official game of
the 2021 Formula One and Formula 2 Championships, featuring story mode
and new circuits including Imola, Portimão and the calendar newcomer
Jeddah.[1] The Montreal, Marina Bay and Melbourne circuits will also
feature on the game as originally intended, despite the cancellation of
these races in real life due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. The
Shanghai circuit in China will also feature on the game as it forms part
of the brand new Braking Point game mode.

After Codemasters was acquired by Electronic Arts, the game is the first
in the series published by EA Sports.[2] The game is set to be released
for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as the ninth
generation of video game consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on
July 16, 2021, which is on the British Grand Prix weekend.[3] The Deluxe
Edition will launch 3 days earlier on July 13, 2021, which is on the
week of the British Grand Prix.

For the first time, in career mode, it is now possible for two players
to play career mode together (either as teammates or rivals). As the
game is based on the 2021 Formula One season, the game will introduce
rookies Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin (who are also free agents in
the F1 2020 My Team Career mode), and Yuki Tsunoda. Both Alpine and
Aston Martin will also appear in the game, because both Renault and
Racing Point, respectively, previously featured on F1 2020, have been
rebranded for this season.
