The Standard Edition of
F1 2020 is now available for Windows and
consoles, following the
early launch of the
Deluxe Schumacher Edition of the racing simulation. In addition to the
Schumacher Edition with bonus content there's also a special Seventy Edition
which celebrates the seventieth anniversary of Formula 1 with its own set of
extras. You can pick up any of the three editions for PC
on Steam. For
those still on the fence, here's the
Launch Trailer. For
those who pick this up, there's a
Beginner's Guide Video
and another video with an
Austria Track Guide.
Here's word:
Codemasters® today celebrates the launch of F1® 2020, the
official videogame of the 2020 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™ for
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices
including the Xbox One X, Windows PC (DVD and via Steam), and Google Stadia.
With two new circuits, the introduction of driver-manager feature, My Team,
improved on-track options, and the reintroduction of split-screen and more, F1®
2020 caters for race fans of all levels and experience. Currently tracking as
one of the highest-rated games of the year according to aggregator site,
Metacritic, the F1® 2020 launch trailer can be viewed
here.
New simplified menus and assists enable drivers to spend more time competing and
less time in the gravel. On-track improvements include ERS activation, which, as
in real-life, is now a simple button press, and the introduction of the virtual
rear-view mirror. Following its success last season, F2™ returns with
three-race, half and full season options. The F2™ 2020 season update will be
added later in the year as a free digital download.
To celebrate the Seventieth Anniversary of Formula 1®, fans who purchase F1®
2020 Seventy Edition will receive exclusive in-game items such as podium emotes,
car livery and team colours. For fans of Michael Schumacher, a separate Deluxe
Schumacher Edition is also available with additional in-game content and four
iconic cars from his legendary career. Both editions come with added virtual
currency which can unlock Podium Pass VIP. Players can race, earn and unlock
more cosmetic items and collect enough currency for the following VIP season.
My Team, a new driver-manager feature, gives players the opportunity to create a
new Formula 1® team and take their place alongside the established 2020 driver
line-up. From car design to hiring a team-mate and finding sponsors, players now
have the added pressure of making sure everything runs smoothly both off and on
the track. Players can also choose from the original full 22 race season, and
shorter 10 and 16 race season options in both My Team and the 10-season Career.
F1® 2020 features all 10 teams, 20 drivers and cars from the 2020 season. The
latest car liveries and team colours, including Mercedes AMG Petronas, will be
added as a free digital update.
“F1® 2020 is two years in the making, and we are excited with the level of
innovation for players of all levels,” said Lee Mather, F1® Franchise Game
Director at Codemasters. “Whether someone wants a split-screen battle with
friends, a 10-race season or a full driver-manager experience, F1® 2020 gives
players the option to race their way.”
