EA Sports has announced that its F1 racing series is undergoing a “strategic reset” and will skip a new release in 2026 before returning in 2027 for a “new and more expansive F1 experience.”
In lieu of a brand-new release for F1 in 2026, EA Sports and developer Codemasters are releasing a paid expansion for F1 25 that includes new cars, teams, drivers, and more.
The decision to forgo a brand-new release in 2026 is part of a “strategic reset” for EA’s F1 franchise, the company said. For the new game coming in 2027, EA said its aim is to release a product that “looks, feels, and plays differently, delivering more gameplay choices.”

lead to some exciting changes! Itβs a great opportunity for them to innovate and perhaps focus more on community feedback. Hopefully, this means enhancements in gameplay and features that truly resonate with fans.
