F1 2019 Launches This Week
When can you start playing F1 2019? This week! Depending on the conditions and how much cash you’re willing to part with, F1 2019 may be playable this very moment. Legends Edition owners received access to the game on June 25; it will become available for regular purchase tomorrow, June 28.
Despite being the latest in a long series of racing games, F1 2019 comes with a lot of firsts. The F2 Feeder Series is a scenario-based introduction which changes the game’s outcome based on how well the player performs and how much wins and losses they rack up. Driver Transfers are now possible in Career Mode, allowing your characters to switch contracts, partner up with other racers, or sign with new teams. The entire 2018 FIA Formula 2 Championship is also included. All these extra features resulted in the longest development cycle for any F1 game to date.
“We are absolutely delighted with the inclusion of F2™, Senna and Prost, and Career Mode Driver Transfers, as major, new additions to the F1® Franchise, as well as integrating league racing and F1 Esports for fans who want to race competitively,” said Paul Jeal, F1® Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Driver Transfers, in particular, are something that we know our players have craved for several years, and it’s fantastic to now have that functionality integrated into our 10-year Career mode and build upon the seasonal rule changes we introduced in F1® 2018 to create unique player storylines from season to season.”
F1 2019 is available this week for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC.
