F1 23 Review

F1 23 reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One, PlayStation, and PC.

"F1 23 is a far heartier package than F1 22, with 26 tracks, the enjoyable next chapter of the Braking Point story mode that began in F1 2021, and – for players who love to recline back into the couch and race – the best gamepad handling in the series, ever. The racing-focused secondary career mode F1 World is also likely to be a step in the right direction after last year’s F1 Life for some, although it's equally probable its arcade-inspired, loot-based upgrade system will be divisive amongst traditionalists."

Don’t really play racing games but click on every review cause this guy is the best 👏🏾

F1 is the FIFA of the racing industry...gotta push out a new game yearly and watch the value drop instantly.

[JJJackson]

considering how same-y a lot of racing games (especially those contained in one series) can feel, it's a great thing that IGN's best critic (by a lightyear) gets to cover the genre.

Now hopefully Codemasters can focus on getting WRC 23 launched.

[mamaspuddin]

question is, when will they bring back historic cars

[Mark-mupj]

I'm just glad that controller input's are better.

[adamthompson]

yes, was hoping to hear Lukes's voice, please do Forza Motorsport when it comes out legend, thank you for another awesome review :)

if this is your first entry into the series, 8/10 is about right. If you've owned any of the previous games since F12020, it's barely worth 4/10. 'Codemasters', under the thumb of EA, have done the bare minimum as usual. If you really want to try out the new circuits and the Breaking Point story, wait a few months and pick it up second hand or on sale

3:42 that was identical to leclerc's crash lol

[damienspurs]

These story modes are toilet should have vintage cars and vintage tracks in there instead that’s what hardcore f1 fans want not these silly story modes 😔

[BlackCanvasAudio]

The facial animations in this game a freaking phenomenal. This is a racing game with better face animations than most AAA RPG's! lol

[kevinmarais]

Still prefer the intuitive feeling of f1 20 and 21. Although this game does very very close and chicanes and slow speed corners are much easier.

The series of Microprose Grand Prix in ONLY 4 games sequels, each one is revolutionary and the details of action on track until today are much more impressive than these Codemasters manager/chalange mode (Carrer) clone sequels since 2007 without competition game.
The best game because there is not more F1 games and comparing to the only last game and forgot the long sequels is not fair.
More value for Microprose games with so many opponents on the market and a special Formula one (95) and sequel Formula one 97 on the psx console.
Games that you bought and you really feel the company made a effort to justify your money and bring action to the gameplay of F1 world and not a manager/ clone "Carrer" that you lose time on crappy futile plastic things .
Funny thing, the cars on Grand Prix don't disappear when dnf appens or you lose a tyre, and you can really can drive 2 cars on race...

[SuperTConsoleGaming]

This looks awesome! Luke being great yet again!

[saintsalieri]

The only thing that could get me to buy this is PSVR2 support, which they said they won't do. It's not worth picking up the new version of F1 each year.

[erikskukutis]

Looks like a decent game! Cant wait to play!

[MUCKLEECH]

Looks better, but the other modes besides the career mode doesn't excite me at all. I'll wait and pick this up on sale, probably Black Friday.
