This Story is Yours. Leave your mark on the world of racing in F1 25, the official video game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. Below, you can find the PC features you can enjoy in F1 25. We have covered everything from the newly introduced path tracing to playing on the keyboard, steering wheel, or controller.

Real Time Path Tracing
Path tracing lets us cast light rays from every pixel in the camera view and simulate the light bouncing 3-4 times around the scene. Each bounce samples a surface, and the light moves to the next surface. This makes a cloud of color that we can use some advanced algorithms to resolve back into pixels from the lit 3D scene. Path tracing offers the most advanced simulation of light interactions. For example, there are hundreds of thousands of light sources in Bahrain. Simulating the type of real time shadow interaction, self-reflection, and color bounce you get with path tracing is far ahead of older techniques.




Ray Tracing
Immerse yourself deeper into your F1 experience with Raytraced visuals available in Race using the "Ultra" graphics preset.


Virtual Reality
Exclusive to PC. Feel the drama of the race from right inside the cockpit.

Custom Graphics Settings
We've added a bunch of settings, so players can tweak the game to run just how they like it, whether cranking up the graphics for top performance or keeping things smooth on a portable device. Since everyone's setup differs, we wanted to ensure something for everyone. And if you'd rather not mess with settings, no worries, we've got some handy presets to get you going fast.

Custom Race UI
Fully optimise your heads-up display with the most comprehensive customization options in a racing title.



Eye Tracking Support
Become one with your F1 Car—track your eye movements when you're behind the wheel to improve performance.

Highlights & Replays
Export clips to video files, save full replays and even share them with friends. Supports a range of output formats including 360 video.

Custom Race Setups
Use the Steam workshop feature to find and download balanced setups for every Grand Prix by using custom setups created by the community.

Note: ray traced Shadows and Reflections, Requires ray tracing graphics hardware. Path Tracing requires AMD RTX 30 series, AMD RX 7900 or Intel ARC A series or above. More powerful recent hardware will have a better experience.

Ultrawide Monitor Support
Full support on track for ultrawide monitor setups.



Triple Monitor Support
Wraparound support only for multiple monitor setups. Large format display support requires sufficient VRAM. UI and Cinematics will display centered at 16:9.

Additional Controller Support
Extensive support for hand held controllers, wheels, pedals, and custom hardware including motion rigs. Out of the box mapping support, plus all controls fully customizable and remappable.

Supported Devices
EA SPORTS F1 25 supports a wide variety of devices for you to play on, from keyboard to steering wheel. See https://www.ea.com/games/f1/f1-25 for more details on supported devices.

Nice to see VR as a feature being promoted, not just tacked-on later because the dev's are still working under their support contract terms.
 
Still no mouse support in menus?? Really???
