EA SPORTS F1 24

F1 24 is the latest installment in the renowned Formula 1 racing video game series developed by Codemasters and published by EA Sports.



Designed as an upgrade over the 2023 version of this long-running franchise, this latest racing simulation F1 24 for PC title provides all fans of the fastest sport in the world access to an authentic racing experience, access to all teams and drivers, season-wide challenges, and extensive support for multiplayer and league racing, all while capturing the thrill of Formula 1 with stunning graphics and realistic physics.

While the highlight of the last game was the stylish and cinematic singleplayer campaign, this year’s title is fully focused on season-wide team management in career mode where players are tasked with supporting their technical team, upgrading the car, managing sponsorships, and delivering stellar on-track performances against the famous drivers from the modern F1 grid.

This and much more are packaged in a stunningly realistic audio/visual presentation that rivals those that can be seen on live F1 broadcasts from famous racing tracks from all over the world.

Installation and Setup

Getting this game up and running on any modern gaming PC is straightforward. Players can purchase the game through platforms like Steam or Origin, and easily install the game on local storage by clicking on a single button. The installation procedure is so automated that players are not even required to follow any on-screen instructions.

Once inside the game, the title will ask users to log into the EA Racenet service (a cloud solution for hosting user-created leagues and custom races), but players can opt-out and jump directly into the main menu that offers streamlined access to basic gameplay modes.

VR mode of operating is managed via SteamVR service.

How to Play

Once inside the main menu, users are free to select their preferred mode—Career, F1 World, or multiplayer races.



During the race sessions, the game mimics an actual race weekend format, beginning with practice sessions followed by qualifying rounds and culminating in the Grand Prix.

Players can choose their cars, adjust settings according to their driving style, and participate in various challenges throughout their racing experience.

The Career mode unlocks season-wide access to the team facilities where players can interact with various team members, and engineering experts, and manage their media and sponsorship responsibilities. Success in this mode requires gamers to make tough decisions, pick the best race strategies, and even manage limited team resources for creating brand-new car parts.

User Interface

Anyone who has played any of the previous releases in this long-running racing franchise from EA and Codemasters will not have any issues navigating a traditional-looking main dashboard and its sub-menu offerings.



During races, players receive real-time data on lap times, tire conditions, and race positions through an intuitive HUD that enhances situational awareness without overwhelming the player.

In-game HUD is highly customizable, enabling players to selectively pick which of the telemetry information is important enough to be always visible on screen. Driving cameras are also customizable, promoting racing both inside a realistic helmet view, highly engaging car cameras, or external views.

The game features built-in support for Xbox, DualShock, and DualSense gamepads, and racing wheels from all modern accessory manufacturers (Logitech, Fanatec, and others).
