F1 24 has been officially revealed, promising a revamped career mode in PC VR next month.
Following F1 22 and F1 23, it's no surprise that F1 24 also features PC VR support and after February's brief announcement, EA Sports officially revealed F1 24 today. Joining a new 'Dynamic Handling' system, the overhauled Career mode allows players to compete as one of the 2024 season's twenty drivers, "an up-and-coming competitor from F2, a legendary icon, or create their own legacy."
EA states F1 24 also features "new suspension kinematics, upgraded tyre models, advanced aerodynamic simulation" and new setup options for your engine and car. Updates for Silverstone, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Lusail International Circuit, and Jeddah Corniche Circuit are also promised, while a gameplay deep dive with more details will follow on April 22.
We recommended F1 23 in our review last year. While we believed it offered "welcome additions," we thought PC VR support remained slightly rough around the edges despite performance improvements.
Between the enhanced controls, new features and F1 World, F1 23 presents a welcome improvement on its predecessor. While PC VR support feels more reliable, several problems stop this from becoming the definitive VR racing game, and Braking Point sometimes misses the mark. Even still, EA's gone beyond a standard roster update.
F1 24 reaches PC VR on May 31, alongside a flatscreen release on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Anyone who pre-orders the Champions Edition will receive early access from May 28, and PSVR 2 support is not listed on PS Store.
