EA Sports has officially announced the F1 25: 2026 Season Pack, a comprehensive downloadable expansion that brings the sport’s dramatic regulatory overhaul and grid expansion to gaming platforms. The pack launches June 3, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering what the publisher describes as the most significant update to the franchise in years.
The expansion incorporates Formula 1’s sweeping 2026 technical regulations, featuring lighter and more compact cars equipped with active aerodynamics designed to enhance handling responsiveness for both controller and wheel users. A new “overtake mode” adds strategic depth to gameplay while introducing accessibility features aimed at promoting closer racing competition among players of all skill levels.
Two major manufacturers join the virtual grid as Audi and Cadillac make their F1 gaming debut, reflecting the real-world championship’s expansion to 11 teams. The updated driver roster includes Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez representing the new Cadillac outfit, while the popular My Team mode returns, allowing players to create and manage their own custom 12th team entry.
The Madrid street circuit of Madring makes its franchise debut as the first new track added to the F1 game series since 2023. This hybrid circuit will host the Spanish Grand Prix in September 2026, but gamers will experience the venue months before its real-world Formula 1 debut.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has partnered with EA Sports for the launch, praising the developer’s work in translating the sport’s new era to digital form. “Games are such an incredible way for fans to experience our sport,” Hamilton said. “The EA Sports team has done a great job bringing these changes to life in the F1 25: 2026 season pack, from the cars and power units to the new tracks like Madring.”
