Der zweite Patch für das aktuelle Formel-1-Rennspiel zur Saison 2025 kommt Zoom

Natürlich ist das nicht die einzige Änderung, denn die Zeit zwischen Update 1.03 und Update 1.04 wurde genutzt, um verschiedene Unstimmigkeiten zu beheben und an der einen oder anderen Stellschraube zu drehen. Das folgende Änderungsprotokoll gibt im Detail näher Auskunft über die einzelnen Maßnahmen.

Derweil können Spieler mit der Erweiterung "F1 Der Film - Kapitel-Szenarien", einzeln für 9,99 EUR erhältlich, sich hinter das Steuer des APXGP-Autos setzen und die Schlüsselmomente von F1 - Der Film durch fesselnde, vom Kinofilm inspirierte Kapitelszenarien im Spiel erleben. Diese verbinden auf filmreife Weise Storytelling mit rasantem Gameplay.

Mit dem DLC können Sonny Hayes und Joshua Pearce dem Fahrermarkt hinzugefügt und der persönliche Fahrer in F1 World oder der Fahrerkarriere mit Joshua Pearces Helm ausgestattet werden. Nach einer aufregenden letzten Herausforderung, die den dramatischen Höhepunkt des Films unter den Lichtern von Abu Dhabi widerspiegelt, wird Sonny Hayes' Helm freigeschaltet.
