Launch update: an earlier arrival

Get ready — F1 2019 was announced to hit the tracks on June 28, 2019, arriving roughly two months ahead of its previously scheduled release. Fans are already talking as the new date brings the game into players’ hands sooner than expected.

Key improvements and additions

Enhanced multiplayer and overall realism make racing feel closer to the real sport.
Expanded customization tools let you craft unique liveries and personalize many aspects of your car.
Inclusion of the Formula 2 championship adds new vehicles and drivers drawn from the junior series.
Broader content variety means you can race with both the official F1 grid and F2 competitors in certain modes.

Custom cars and liveries

One of the biggest changes is the deeper vehicle customization. In F1 2019 you can modify colors and liveries and assemble a bespoke car design that reflects your style. It hasn’t been fully confirmed whether these custom cars will be usable across every game mode, but the options themselves represent a major step up in player freedom.

What F2 means for the series

The addition of Formula 2 content is notable because F2 cars are spec machines, identical in design, and are typically driven by emerging talent aiming for F1. Bringing F2 into the game expands the roster and gameplay possibilities, giving players the chance to experience the junior championship alongside the main series. The developers haven’t detailed exactly how the F2 series will be integrated, but it’s intended to diversify the game modes.

Polishing the racing experience

Developers describe F1 2019 as one of the franchise’s most ambitious efforts, with multiple refinements aimed at smoother performance and a more authentic driving feel. Multiplayer has been upgraded to support more competitive online play, increasing the emphasis on head-to-head racing.
