Red Flags will be making a return in F1 23 after a nine-year absence. The game will also feature the 35% race distance that was previously only available on F1 esports. A new color encoding system has also been implemented that is similar to those used in film and TV.

"Our close relationship with the teams has allowed us to refine our handling model, adding greater realism to pad-play, and implementing a new colour encoding system used in film and TV creates a more true-to-life experience,” EA said.

F1 23 will add the F1 World, a hub that "helps introduce players to the complex world of Formula 1 by tying together multiple game modes such as Time Trial, Grand Prix, and Multiplayer.”

According to EA, F1 23 will feature "an ever-changing roster of seasonal content with daily and weekly challenges to get stuck into" and "enable players to "unlock new liveries, race suits, and helmets as part of a new progression system.”

Back-to-back and current world champion Max Verstappen will be the cover athlete of the Champions Edition. This is part of a recently announced partnership between EA and the racing driver.

F1 23 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on June 16.
