F1 25 Update Arrives Ahead of Season 2 Launch, Patch Notes Released

The new season for the video game F1 25 will hit stores later in the week, but gamers can get a sneak peek with the upcoming patch v1.07, which is coming out today on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S. Electronic Arts has already released a detailed list of changes, giving us an idea of what to expect from this update. This version primarily addresses bugs, including some platform-specific issues like ensuring compatibility with certain graphics cards on PC and enhancing functionality for one specific peripheral on Xbox. Although most improvements apply to all three platforms, it’s still worth checking the patch notes to see which issues have been resolved.

It’s hoped that these bug fixes will make the game more pleasurable for players, but some fans feel EA and Codemasters haven’t gone far enough with the updates. The AI opponents’ car handling in wet conditions has been a major complaint since the release of the patch notes. Despite this ongoing issue, it appears that the developers haven’t addressed it with this latest update. Let’s hope they tackle this problem soon to keep players satisfied. For detailed information on the changes made, you can find the full patch notes from the game’s official website below: [Link provided]
