"EA laid out its plans for the "future" of the EA Sports F1 series, which has put out a new entry every year since 2021. Next year, however, there won't be an F1 26. EA and developer Codemasters will instead release a paid expansion to F1 25 that will "align with the sport's major changes for the 2026 season". The premium content update will add new cars, sporting regulations, teams, and drivers in line with the new season of Formula One."
"A new mainline F1 game will be released in 2027, marking a departure from annual releases. The next full game will be "reimagined into a more expansive experience with new ways to play for fans around the world," EA said in its announcement. "... the refreshed experience will expand on what longtime players have loved from the franchise, and celebrate the passion of Formula 1 through a game that immerses both new and longtime players in the modern era of the sport," the company said."
EA Sports will not release a new full F1 game in 2026 and will instead deliver a paid expansion for F1 25 that updates the simulator to the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship season. The paid expansion will add new cars, sporting regulations, teams, and drivers to reflect the sport's major changes for 2026. A reimagined mainline F1 game with bigger changes and new features will launch in 2027, ending the annual-release cadence that began in 2021. The shift forms part of a multi-year strategic investment supported by Formula One Management and the F1 teams. Price and release date details for the expansion will be revealed next year.
