F1 22

F1 22 is the thirteenth installment in the series of licensed Formula One racing games. The game was developed by the Codemasters studio, a very experienced producer of racing games, known also for its GRID and DiRT series. The publisher, as in the case of the previous part, is Electronic Arts.

Game mechanics

The core of the game is to race in cars from the 2022 Formula 1 season on world-famous tracks, including a new one in the series - Miami International Autodrome. We can fight with 10 teams and 20 drivers who qualified for the real competition. The (optional) formation laps, safety car passes and interactive pit stops add to the realism. Once again, we have access to Formula 2 class racing - with options for short, medium or long seasons.

Game modes

As in previous installments in the series, we can progress through the career mode to the ultimate victory in the season. In My Team mode we once again become the leader of a racing team, created from scratch with a limited budget, and we lead it in competition with the other ten.

F1 Sprint mode has appeared in this installment, allowing you to try this type of competition, introduced to Formula 1 in 2021. Also new is F1 Life as a kind of community space where we show off our supercars, outfits and accessories to other players.

Apart from single-player, multiplayer modes are available - we can compete with many players over the network or with a single friend on a split screen.

Technical aspects

The driving model in F1 22 is more realistic than in previous installments of the series. Artificial intelligence has also been introduced, which adjusts its level to less advanced players to ensure equal competition. This is the first installment in the series to officially support virtual reality headsets.
