Braking Point 3 & My Team 2.0: Story and Management Reimagined
Two of the most beloved modes see significant advancements:
- Braking Point 3 is BACK!: The fan-favourite story mode returns, where the legacy of Konnersport is at stake. Can you fight back and finally put yourself in contention for the World Championship? Braking Point 3 now features multiple difficulty settings, and for the first time ever, you can extend your Konnersport experience into the main Career and My Team modes.
- My Team 2.0: Take even greater control as the Owner of your own Formula 1 team. New gameplay systems allow you to specialise in your preferred areas of team management before getting behind the wheel as either of your two F1® drivers on race weekends.
Track Authenticity, New Ways to Play & Enhanced Visuals
F1 25 continues to push for realism and innovation:
- Accurate LIDAR Circuits: Experience unparalleled track authenticity with 5 rebuilt circuits, including the fan-favourite Suzuka, all created using laser-scanned models of the real venues.
- New Online Co-op Events: A brand new multiplayer mode arrives in F1 World, where you and your friends can race as a squad against AI drivers.
- Design Your Own Team: Enhance both your My Team and F1 World cars with liveries that are more reflective of Formula One, allowing you to customise driver numbers and move, scale, or rotate logos.
- Presentation Upgrades: Expect new cinematics and updated podium scenes, plus the addition of Reverse Tracks on select circuits for a fresh challenge.
All this is powered by Codemasters’ EGO engine, enabling increased circuit authenticity and immersive racing.
Addressing Past Pit Stops: Our F1 24 Thoughts
The return of Braking Point is particularly welcome news. In our 4/5 review of F1 24, while we praised the core racing, we noted:
“Don’t expect too much excitement away from the racing, as the omission of a story mode is a real whack… Join for the racing, and enjoy what is provided from there on out.“
With Braking Point 3 not only returning but also integrating with other modes, F1 25 looks set to deliver that much-desired narrative depth alongside its stellar racing.
