F1 2016 is the official videogame of the 2016 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP and includes the most immersive, in-depth career mode ever featured in the franchise. F1 2016 will release onto PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC (DVD and via Steam) from August 19th 2016.

F1 2016 is a massive step forward for the franchise and takes gamers deeper into the world’s most glamorous, exciting and prestigious motorsport, both on and off the track. The new career mode sits at the heart of the game and allows players to create their own legend over a lifetime in the sport that can span for up to a massive ten seasons.

Beyond improving upon the fastest and most thrilling on-track racing experience in gaming, F1 2016 uniquely offers the drama that occurs off the track and behind the scenes. Car development and a rich upgrade system is fully integrated into a new and deep practice development programme which mirrors the testing carried out by the teams in real life. The player will also be able to plan potential moves to rival teams and shape their own path through this fiercely competitive sport.

The career mode, together with the re-introduction of the sport’s iconic Safety Car, as well as the first inclusion of the Virtual Safety Car means that F1 2016 will have more new features than any other year of the franchise. There is also a brand new, extremely fast and challenging street circuit in the shape of Baku in Azerbaijan, which will host the 2016 FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE, and a new team in Haas F1 Team – the first all-American-led F1 team in three decades.

In the new career mode, players select an avatar and number that they will carry with them within the game world. They are then free to choose from any of the FORMULA ONE teams, all with different goals and expectations. It may be more challenging to start further down the grid, but it will also be easier to exceed team expectations. Players can earn contracts and move from team to team, or choose to develop their favourite team into a championship contender.

To complement the on-track experience, and to expand the realism of the career mode, F1 2016 includes stunning hospitality areas for each team that act as the player’s game hub. In this area they will work with their Research and Development Engineer and Player Agent to develop their progress both on and off the track. Recognising other key figures from the world of F1 in the hospitality areas will further aid the player’s immersion into the sport.

The game also includes a new time of day editor which allows players to dramatically customise the visuals of the race experience at any circuit on the calendar.
