F1 22 release date, with new ‘F1 Life’ mode, announced for July<\/div>\n

When it launches July 1, F1 22<\/em><\/a> <\/em>will lean into the fast and flashy lifestyle that Formula One fans have seen over four seasons of Netflix’s popular documentary Formula 1: Drive to Survive<\/em>. Some fans worry that it will mean microtransactions and battle pass bling more than an expanded mode. <\/p>\n

F1 Life, as it is called<\/a>, is “a new space for you to unlock and show off supercars, clothing, accessories, and more for the world to see,” according to publisher Electronic Arts. The game’s official website doesn’t expand on the thought. Commenters in the F1 series’ restive subreddit<\/a> wondered why EA and developer Codemasters couldn’t bring back classic competition cars, which were last seen (and driveable in most modes) in F1 2020. <\/em><\/p>\n

“Classic F1 cars would make it so much better,” said one user<\/a>. “It’s an F1 game, not a normal car game.”<\/p>\n

F1 2020 <\/em>was the first game in the series to introduce the Podium Pass, basically a schedule of tiered loot and unlockable cosmetics for use across several modes. Players have to buy into each season with Pitcoin, a secondary currency also introduced that year. Pitcoin is acquired for real money, and sometimes is awarded in one of the Podium Pass’ tiers. <\/p>\n
