F1 2021 Review
In our F1 2021 review at launch, we scored the racing sequel a stellar 8/10:
F1 2021 is one of the broadest depictions of the sport ever created, building on familiar cars and handling alongside returning multiplayer, esports, and My Team career modes, while the new Braking Point story gives you a taste of the teammate drama you loved to watch (and mock) in Netflix’s Drive to Survive.
With the game already several months old, fans will be looking ahead to see what EA has planned for future content and the launch of F1 2022. Meanwhile, Codemasters is about to release its newest game.
Grid Legends sees the return of a fan favourite series. It’s out on February 24 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out our preview in the video above.
