The racing game F1 22 will officially be released on July 1, 2022. EA Sports and developer Codemasters have also announced gameplay innovations.

Despite a short reveal trailer, there is some new information on the upcoming racing title F1 22. The latest offshoot of the Formula 1 simulation was announced early Thursday evening and is said to offer a virtual reality (VR) driving experience for the first time alongside sprint races.

With a “new era”, EA Sports has announced the racing game F1 22 for July 1. Buyers of the Champions Edition will be able to race around the virtual racetracks from 28 June. The game will be released for both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, as well as for the next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S).

More action with sprint races and a new track
In addition to the VR feature that the community has been longing for, sprint races are also brand new in F1 22. Sprints replace Saturday qualifying and act as a shorter race with additional points before the Grand Prix. Whether the official Formula 1 rules will be applied in the same way in the video game remains to be seen.

In addition, the new Miami International Autodrome circuit will be playable in F1 22, which is also on the Formula 1 calendar for this season. In addition, several tracks will receive a visual update. For sim racing fans, the new handling system should be interesting because the lack of realism compared to other racing games was previously criticised.
