F1 Manager 2023’s 1.3 update now on all platforms

As of today, 1st August 2023, several fixes and tweaks are now present for those on console enjoying F1 Manager 2023.

Frontier Development’s latest strategy simulation hit general release yesterday, following four days of early access to those with the Deluxe Edition.

Chief of which, specifically on console, is a change to controller input sensitivity which is said to be increased. When using analogue sticks as opposed to a mouse, movement through the user interface can be a little slow at times, so we hope this speeds progress up.

Older drivers’ skills degrade over time in ’23, and the speed at which this happens is also said to have been adjusted with this latest version 1.3 update and conversely, so has the rate of progression for Formula 2 and Formula 3 drivers.

The correct tyre compounds should now be displayed too on the tyre wear graph during a Race Moment. The full list of changes is below, and we hope for the anticipated 1.4 update it releases across all three platform types together.
