And although turning off all the steering assists still doesn’t make F1 2020 a full blown simulator, there’s plenty to enjoy for those invested in the sport. While it was already possible to make racing fairly accessible, this roughly equates to an arcade mode for those who prefer it or simply don’t feel the need to learn the intricacies of driving an F1 car. What’s new from a gameplay perspective is that F1 2020 expands on the existing difficulty levels by making a casual mode available to players. Though it’s more of a roster update than anything, it’s nice that the game doesn’t feel detached from the actual sport now that everything’s a lot less predictable than it was before. Keeping with what’s happening in real life, however, you can also play a much shorter season and play a 10 or 16-race championship – pretty much in line with the races that are currently confirmed, pending or awaiting new dates. Though not surprising (development was well underway when the corona pandemic hit), it’s worth nothing that this means that fans can still race on the brand new circuits of Zandvoort in the Netherlands and Vietnam’s new street circuit in Hanoi even though it’s not sure the latter will feature this year and the first one’s been cancelled. The new race calendar means there are fewer races in this year’s season, but Codemasters has included the full race season as it was originally intended anyway. There’s also the annual dilemma of having to provide more than a roster and rule update, and although the 2020 season is a bit of a crazy one the changes in a regular season are marginal at best. The F1 franchise is one of Codemasters’ more accessible racing titles, yet also walks a thin line where it needs to appeal to diehard fans of the sport as well. That’s great news for fans hoping to play through the season themselves, because in recent years the world title wasn’t exactly up for grabs anymore when the game came out. Time to take F1 2020 for a spin, which is available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC in both a vanilla and a deluxe Michael Schumacher-infused edition.Ĭodemasters decided to push the release of their F1 game forward by a few months last year, and because of a strange coincidence the global corona pandemic and delayed start of the F1 season now sees the game being released right at the start of the actual race calendar for 2020.
