F1 Movie Jumps into F1 25

Suffice it to say, the F1 Movie has been a humongous success out of the gate. Those who own the F1 25 game released by EA SPORTS just over a month ago will now be able to partake in Chapter Scenarios directly from the movie. Those who pre-ordered the Iconic Edition will have access to the six chapters, while those who did not pre-order can purchase these separately as additional content. These scenarios will put you in the driver seat of the APXGP car from the movie. Those who also pre-ordered the Iconic Edition or upgrade to it before July 11 will be able to play as APXGP in My Team and race as the two drivers.

“Collaborating with Apple and Warner Bros. has enabled us to create a unique experience, allowing our players to not just watch, but live the movie,” said Gavin Cooper, Creative Director of F1 25. “The blend of cinematic film content and the interactive gameplay blurs the line between real, fictional, and virtual worlds, creating a one-of-a-kind, authentic Formula 1 moment that only EA SPORTS could deliver.”

The Chance to Live Through a Movie

F1 25 offers the opportunity to play through a unique experience as movie characters Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce. While the team is available in My Team, players can choose from either and start a career in F1 25’s Career Mode. Gameplay in the Chapter Scenarios is directly inspired by the film’s story. The gameplay takes place at Silverstone, Monza, Zandvoort, Mexico City, Spa-Francorchamps and Abu Dhabi.
