Just like its predecessor, F1 24 is free to play on the weekend of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, this time from November 21 to to 25. A big discount and a special livery also await.
Three race weekends remain in the 2024 Formula One season, with the Las Vegas Grand Prix kicking off the trio of races on the home stretch starting on November 21. For sim racers, this also marks the start of a free-to-play period for F1 24, as the official Formula One game will be available to try for anyone without charge until November 25.
This follows a similar weekend in 2023, which was also coupled to a celebration of F1's return to Sin City for the first time since 1982 hosted by EA Sports, which is not part of the event this time around. F1 24's free access period will be available on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation and includes the last-gen editions - so Xbox One and PS4 - as well. PC players have the longest free-play period at their disposal via Steam.
“With both the 2024 Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championship still up for grabs, this is the most exciting end of season we have seen in a while. We want everyone to jump into the cockpit and experience the edge-of-your-seat excitement of being an F1 driver during this free-to-play weekend,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director for EA SPORTS F1® 24. While the Drivers' Championship is technically not decided yet, Max Verstappen could already wrap up the title race in Las Vegas as long as he finishes ahead of Lando Norris or both do not score points.
Meanwhile, the still-reigning Champion has designed a livery with artist Lefty Out There that every F1 24 player can claim until January 6. The design is "inspired by Max's championship wins, mentality, and personal style", according to EA Sports. Additionally, players will also receive Double Podium Pass XP during the free play period.
Those who do not own F1 24 yet and find that the title suits them during the free play period can purchase the game at a 60% discount for the duration of the weekend. Their progress from the trial period will carry over, too.
F1 24 has recently received update 1.14 with several improvements to its visuals, including the Las Vegas circuit, on PC and current-gen consoles. Prior to that, EA and Codemasters announced that they are not planning to fix invisible bumps on certain tracks in the game - a decision which many in the sim racing community were not happy with.
