F1 22 Championship Edition Launch Just Hours Away

Article Discussion

If you have pre-purchased the Championship Edition of F1 22, June 28 is when you can already be playing the new title by Codemasters and EA. Ahead of the release, a new launch trailer has been published.

“We can’t wait for players to jump into the game, and the trailer perfectly captures the excitement and emotion of competing at the highest level for the World Championship,” said Paul Jeal, F1 Senior Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Players will experience the ecstasy of taking their seat in the new era of Formula 1 and driving the car to the limit and beyond.”

F1 22 lets players live the life of a Formula 1 driver on and off the track. Alongside competing for the 2022 FIA World Championship™ in new revolutionary cars designed for greater competition, players can now experience rewards away from the circuit with the introduction of F1 Life. The new social hub allows players to personalise their avatar and apartment and show off their collection of supercars. Once acquired, the cars can be driven in the Pirelli Hot Lap feature, replicating the early part of the race weekend.

F1 22 Champions Edition featuring additional content and three days of early access, will release on June 28, 2022, for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC via Origin and Steam. The Standard Edition will release on Friday, July 1, 2022.

Have you purchased the Championship Edition with 3 days of early access? If so, will you be playing tomorrow already? Let us know in the comments below!

DRM ist a form of copy protection and account binding. It's possible that you can't play your games in 5 or 10 years because the DRM servers have been shut down, etc.

EA is evil because they have already bought up several companies, squeezed every last cent out of their brands and then discontinued the game series and closed the studios. I also don't like their pay 2 win and lootbox or DLC stuff.

For them it's no longer about good games, but about maximum profit at the expense of the players.

I don't want to protect EA. But do you feel other big publishers are better? Because that's not how I see it. They all have scummy practices that I wish weren't present in gaming, but it's always EA that's getting the blame on forums. Just a reminder to the DR 2.0 DLC strategy and Podium Pass introduced in F1 2020 before EA. Do we really think there would be no MTX in F1 without EA?

I don't buy from other big studios either. Ubi, Activision, EA, you name it.

Does anyone happen to know if the mouse works in menus now ?

It may be a small thing, but really wound me up in the last version.

It doesn't affect me as I'm an offline player, but Jesus H. Christ - just when you thought they couldn't screw up the release any more. (well the early access release anyway)

That nostalgia, when EA, Blizzard, Activision, etc. actually just made good games. That time before Dev extortion, Loot boxes, obscurity by complexity in-game currencies, DRM, games as a 'service', pay to win, buying game studios and IP's only to let them die, fixing (or not even) major bugs months/years after release when everybody already gave up on the game etc. etc. etc.

The main question here is: If you're buying the "everything" edition, does that mean you'll get all future DLC for free or will you have to buy them? If the second, buying the Championship Edition is just a clever way of EA to scam their customers.

I'm still playing many if the old classics because of this. I'm driving Need for Speed 3 right now, which has perfect wheel support and force feedback. Something most newer games didn't have anymore.
