Get ready to start your engines, as of today, June 23rd, EA has begun rolling out the latest updates to F1 25 across PC and console platforms. These latest changes are coming with a host of improvements across AI race starts, fixes to multiplayer and Career mode, and more.
F1 25 was released last month on May 30th and is midway through Season 1, ending on July 23rd, 2025. Behind the scenes, this update marks the second major update for F1 25, demonstrating a responsiveness to the community and fan base through active efforts and call-outs to address feedback and bugs on its EA Forums.
Meanwhile, the developers behind F1 25, Codemasters, are still actively working on other major concerns raised by the community. Currently, there is a range of graphics issues being addressed for PC and PS5 Pro users, such as ghosting issues when using FSR/Frame Generation or when following cars in spectator mode. The next update is likely to see some updates to the Tracks with issues like car collisions on Bahrain may result in falling out of the map, and track bumps on turn 14 in Spain.
For the latest update with v1.04, check out all the latest patch notes below.
