So many 2020s. Anyway, details and lovely trailer are below.
Larkspur, Calif. (April 15, 2020) – Deep Silver and Codemasters ® today announced that F1 ®
2020, the official videogame of the 2020 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ™ , will
release worldwide on July 10, 2020 for the PlayStation ® 4, Xbox One and Xbox One X, PC, and
for the first time, Google Stadia. In the season where Lewis Hamilton can equal the World
Championship record of seven wins, Codemasters celebrates the career of the current
holder with a Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition which comes with exclusive content and
three days of early access.
In a series of firsts for the F1 franchise, F1 2020 offers My Team. This major new game mode
allows players to create their F1 team and take their place alongside the established 2020
line-up, with a new driver-manager experience offering a unique insight into the world of F1.
My Team and the well-established and critically acclaimed Career Mode will allow players
more flexibility with the choice of three-season lengths. Players can choose from the original
full 22 race season, and shorter 10 and 16 race season options, which now includes Hanoi
Circuit and Circuit Zandvoort.
For social play with friends, two-player split-screen makes its welcome return alongside a
host of new options designed to help new players and adjust the F1 challenge to match their
expertise. These modes are in addition to the core F1 and F2 ™ racing experiences which
remain as challenging as ever for those who love the intensity of simulation racing.
Fans who purchase the F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher Edition will get to drive as the legendary
German driver Michael Schumacher in four of his most iconic cars. Players will also receive
exclusive content including themed car liveries and driver customization items, including a
unique podium celebration. The four cars included in the F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher
Edition are:
1991: Jordan 191
1994: Benetton B194
1995: Benetton B195
2000: Ferrari F1-2000
Additionally, to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Formula 1 itself, fans who pre-order or
purchase the F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher Edition or the F1 2020: F1 Seventy Edition will
receive an exclusive set of in-game items. A Limited Edition F1 2020 Steelbook will also be
available in local markets via selected retailers.
“F1 2020 promises to be our biggest and most innovative title to date,” said Paul Jeal, F1
Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Our core players will welcome even greater gameplay
depth with the introduction of our brand new My Team feature, alongside three
customizable season lengths which allows them to pick their favorite tracks. In the year
where Lewis Hamilton is going for his seventh World Championship, we celebrate the
greatest F1 driver of all time with our Deluxe Schumacher Edition, which we know will prove
popular with our community.”
“As huge fans of F1, we continue to innovate and develop game modes that bring players even closer to the real-world sport,” said Lee Mather, F1 Game Director at Codemasters. “We’ve also added new modes to enable more casual players to get up to speed more easily, and we’ve brought back split-screen for social play with friends. The additions reduce both the difficulty and time barrier to entry while retaining the car handling that our simulation players love.”
