The announcement of F1 23 has sparked a frenzy of excitement among devotees of the sport, who are eager to simulate the high-octane thrills and spills of Formula 1 racing. The previous iteration of the game, F1 2022, was widely lauded for its stunning graphics and realistic gameplay, but fans are hopeful that F1 23 will take the franchise to the next level.
EA Sports has provided a first glimpse at F1 23 on social media ahead of the inaugural Bahrain Grand Prix. A side profile of a 2023 F1 car made entirely of carbon fiber is shown in the teaser image, with the words “New season, fresh start.”

Gamers and F1 enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting more information on the upcoming release, hoping for news on new features and improvements to existing gameplay mechanics. As the release date draws nearer, the anticipation among fans is sure to reach a fever pitch, with gamers eagerly awaiting the chance to experience the speed, precision, and strategy that are the hallmarks of Formula 1 racing.
When will F1 2023 release?
Codemasters, developer of the Formula 1 game, seems to have found a reliable window for their releases. Based on recent speculation, it appears that we can expect the release of F1 23 in late June or early July, likely around the dates of June 30 or July 7. While it is highly probable that F1 23 will release on the latest gaming consoles, it remains uncertain if it will be available on the older ones.
This news may disappoint fans who were hoping for a fresh start with the latest edition of the game. The inclusion of the Xbox One may mean that F1 23 won’t be as revolutionary as we had hoped. With EA Sports teasing the release of F1 23, we can expect it to arrive earlier than the previous year’s game, potentially in June.

In the US, the game is likely to retail for $69.99 and $59.99, with the Champions edition adding an additional $10.
List of drivers in F1 23
Charles Leclerc, who races for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula 1, has recently taken to Instagram to share a potential teaser for the upcoming F1 23. As the latest release in the annual racing series from Codemasters is set to launch in the summer of 2023, it is expected that an official announcement regarding the game will be released soon.
However, earlier this year, EA Sports revealed that Max Verstappen, a two-time F1 World Champion, had become an official partner of the brand. The Dutch driver will feature the company’s logo on his racing helmet, indicating that he might be the central figure of F1 23’s marketing campaign. As of the drivers available in the game are concerned, it usually consists of all the drivers and teams that are there in Formula 1.
Can I play F1 23 on my PC?
The F1 23 game is likely to release on all the popular platforms such as the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and other gaming platforms such as Steam, Game Store, and Origin.
As F1 23 gears up for its much-anticipated release, fans are eager to see what new features and circuits the game will introduce, and it appears that the 2023 F1 season will play a significant role in shaping the game’s content. Players can expect new tracks such as the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia, as well as the return of the Melbourne and Singapore races.
