October is set to be a bumper month for F1 23 drivers, with a slew of new challenges on the way alongside updated Formula 1 car models and the 2023 Formula 2 season.
While no images have been released yet for the updated models, sponsor icons and aerodynamic appendages are said to have been revised to better match real-world entrants. It’s not been confirmed which race weekend these are accurate to, presumably not including any changes brought to imminent rounds.
“We have collaborated closely with the Formula 1 teams to introduce our enhanced sports livery update,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at EA Codemasters.
“Each team has made unique modifications to the cars, encompassing geometry, bodywork and sponsors to ensure fans enjoy the most authentic F1 racing experience.”
These aesthetic changes will hit with a game update across PC, PlayStation and Xbox on 16th October, alongside the current F2 season. At present, the F1 23 game has the 2022 line-up.
“Additionally, we are delighted to announce that players can now participate in the thrilling 14-round Formula 2 season, competing against prominent drivers such as Théo Pourchaire, Frederik Vesti, and Ayumu Iwasa,” continued Mather.
Again, in-game images for the latest F2 competitors are not available. It’s assumed that alongside the ability to use them in a single F2 season, the new drivers will be part of all single-player and multiplayer game modes.
