How to Play

This game builds on top of the streamlined solutions introduced by previous titles in this popular franchise of racing games. Immediately after starting the game, players are introduced to the new Breaking Point 2 campaign that continues the sporting drama centered around our racing hero Aiden Jackson and his biggest on-track rival Devon Buttler.



Presented with lots of cinematics, story twists, and interesting on-track challenges, this single-player campaign can help all players get used to the driving style presented by this title. Of course, the game can fully serve the needs of both new arcade players who demand lots of automated help while driving, and seasoned sim-racing fans who want to manually control all aspects of their driving.

Besides the singleplayer campaign, the game also offers all the traditional racing modes, including playing a full F1 season (both solo and in coop mode with a friend), competing for best leaderboard times, or even enjoying the entire campaign in full VR mode.

F1 23 is the latest title in the long line of Codemasters racing games where players can compete in F1 races with customizable levels of authenticity. The game fully supports remapped controls, adjustable difficulty settings, and even support for 3rd party accessory driving gear such as force feedback wheels, VR headsets, vibration seats, and more.

The controls are simple and intuitive, with players having full support for remapping controls that include not only basic functions (gas, brake, steering) but also a multitude of controls for managing various aspects of the car.

User Interface

The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, following the same basic structure of the previous F1 titles produced by Codemasters. The main menu provides access to all the game's features, including the Breaking Point 2 campaign, multiplayer modes, daily challenges, and access to the extensive RaceNet service for organizing competitive leagues with hundreds of participants.
