Braking Point 2
“Braking Point” story mode is back with an all-new thrilling chapter featuring new rivalries and even more drama in F1 23.

Konnersport Butler F1 Racing Team
The story focuses on Konnersport Butler F1 Racing Team – a new fictional team on the grid – and spans the 2022 and 2023 F1 seasons. Rising young star Aiden Jackson is at odds with his bold and arrogant veteran teammate Devon Butler. When one of their futures is threatened by a personal issue, Devon’s sister and recent F2 Champion, Callie Mayer enters the picture. To bring Callie’s story to life, the narrative team tapped British motorsport racing driver Jamie Chadwick and SkySports F1 reporter Natalie Pinkham. Team Principal Casper Akkerman has to negotiate team and family dynamics, and the manipulations of Devon and Callie’s father (and key sponsor of the team, Davidoff Butler). As your point of view varies among different characters, the story progresses via gameplay and cinematic cutscenes, and is driven by your choices throughout.

F1 World
The all-new F1 World is your new hub for a variety of daily, weekly, and ever-changing seasonal content and events with an all-new Tech Level progression system for your personalized tour through Formula 1.

New Events
Complete fresh challenges and enter a range of different competitive Solo Series designed to take you on a single player journey through a variety of modes, tracks, and experiences in F1 23. Master different tracks, improve your driving skills, explore F2 content, race in supercar invitationals, and more. Solo & Multiplayer Events include a range of daily, weekly, and seasonal events for both solo players and multiplayer fans alike. From multiplayer grand prix to race week celebrations and Time Trial Challenges, there’s something here for everyone, every day of the week.

Tech Level
Upgrade your F1 World car all season with a new Tech Level progression system. Complete challenges, compete online, and play events updated throughout the season to earn upgrades via gameplay to increase your Tech Level, which represents the performance of your F1 World car. As your Tech Level increases, your car’s performance increases and you get the ability to compete in more challenging events. You can still enter events above your Tech Level, but the challenge will be higher as a result. Better players will be able to outperform their car’s Tech Level, but only to a certain degree.

Upgrades
Earn upgrades and spend time tinkering in the Garage to customize and develop your F1 World car to be faster and more powerful as you progress. Upgrades in F1 World are split into two categories – Car Parts and Team Member upgrades. Car Parts boost your car’s gameplay performance. Team Member upgrades can be boosted via a contract system for extra “equip-able” items to further buff your performance.

Crafting
A new Crafting system in F1 World allows you to apply Resources to Blueprints to craft various upgrades, plus craft contracts to equip for gameplay mods, new stickers that you can collect and add to your Compendium, and more.

License System
A new license system promotes clean racing throughout F1 World, and rewards players for respectful driving.

Revamped Ranked Multiplayer
F1 World introduces the revamped ranked multiplayer mode with a new division-based ranking system, F1 23’s Esports series, and a new Goals system that makes Podium Pass progress more efficient. Play to earn points, rise up the ranks from Bronze to Elite with weekly promotions, and earn prizes and upgrades you can apply to your Tech Level.

Compendium
As you complete challenges on your F1 World journey, commemorate your progress with a new Compendium, which is your virtual sticker album that celebrates everything to do with Formula 1, past and present. Play the game, earn stickers, place them into the Compendium, and complete images to earn more rewards and prizes.

Refined handling, better racing
For more predictable behavior on track, new vehicle physics give F1 cars better traction when braking, accelerating, and turning. Real F1 team feedback has been incorporated into balance adjustments between aerodynamic grip and tyre grip, resulting in a more realistic feel and more fluid racing. With improved engine torque and inertia changes, throttle response is more authentic and easier to adjust.

Precision Drive controller technology
Race wheel-to-wheel with more control, precision, and finesse enabled by a controller tech rewrite that delivers more confidence for controller players in crucial moments.

Red Flags
The new Red Flag feature adds an authentic strategy element to every F1 23 race day.

35% Race Distance
A new 35% Race Distance option allows for realistic race strategy and setup where tyre wear remains a key factor without committing too much time to every race.

New Las Vegas and Qatar Grand Prix
Test your talent in the newest destinations in Formula 1 authentically recreated as the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix and Qatar Grand Prix join the F1 23 race calendar. Fly around the speedy street circuit under the iconic lights of the Las Vegas strip, and race around the Lusail International Circuit in the outskirts of the desert city of Doha.
