Is F1 25 on PS4 and Xbox One?

Even though we’re now five years into the current generation, it’s not uncommon for new games to launch on last-generation consoles. This is true for Codemasters’ F1 games, with last year’s game launching on the last generation and current consoles simultaneously. With that in mind, can you play F1 24 on PS4 and Xbox One?

Despite being over a decade old, the PlayStation 4 remains a popular, budget-friendly console with a vast library of games. With over 117 million units sold, it’s Sony’s second best-selling console behind the almighty PlayStation 2.

Will F1 25 be on PS4 and Xbox One?

EA’s sports games are often released on both PS5 and PS4. This was the case for F1 24 and the more recent EA Sports FC 25. There are exceptions, however: EA Sports WRC was a current-gen exclusive, releasing on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, as was NHL 25 and EA Sports College Football 25.

Like previous games, it also still runs on Codemasters’ in-house EGO engine. But despite this, F1 25 is not on PS4 or Xbox One.

“It’s really to set us up for the future,” F1 25’s Senior Creative Director Lee Mather explained to Traxion last month. “It releases resources that would have previously been serving the previous generation of consoles.

“When you consider the scale of our game as well, it’s a huge QV resource we need to test across all those platforms. It opens up the ability for us to focus on other areas of the game, but also for the long term.”

F1 25 release date

F1 25 launches on 27th May on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for those who pre-order the Iconic Edition, with the Standard Edition following on 30th May.
