F1 23

Overview

F1 23 is a racing video game developed by Codemasters and published by EA Sports. It is the sixteenth entry in the F1 series by Codemasters. It holds the official licence for the 2023 Formula One and Formula 2 championships. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S on 16 June, or 3 days earlier on 13 June for users who had previously pre-ordered the Champions Edition, allowing them early access.

F1 23 sees the return of the story mode, "Braking Point", which was introduced in F1 2021. Two characters from "Braking Point", Devon Butler, the main antagonist, and Aiden Jackson, the protagonist, return for Braking Point 2, as well as veteran now-retired driver Casper Akkerman, who also makes an appearance as a mentor and later Team Principal for Konnersport. A new character named Callie Mayer, Devon Butler's sister, makes an appearance, along with their dad, Davidoff Butler who is the CEO of his own company, Butler Global, and Andreo Konner, the founder and owner of Konnersport, who was the team principal in the 2022 season.

A sequel to the Braking Point story mode introduced in F1 2021, F1 23 features Braking Point 2, set in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Drivers Aiden Jackson and Devon Butler, both returning from the first Braking Point, are now teammates at the fictional Konnersport Butler Global Racing Team. Introduced in this story mode is Formula 2 prodigy Callie Mayer (voiced by Emer Kenny), who dreams of earning a shot at motorsport's most prestigious single seater category after winning the Formula 2 championship in the 2021 season with Trident, becoming the first woman to claim the title in doing so. She also happens to be Butler's sister.

F1 23 was teased in March 2023 by its developers as a "fresh start" for the series. Codemasters, who worked on the series since F1 2009, and EA Sports returned to work on the game. A new trailer showcasing the "Konnersport Butler Global Racing Team" was released on 28 April, with the official trailer launched on 3 May. Prior to the reveal, a closed beta was made available.

F1 23 received "generally favorable" reviews, on review aggregator website Metacritic. The game was praised for its revised handling model, the AI, and the inclusion of red flags. Many critics considered F1 23 to be an improvement over its predecessor F1 22. Braking Point 2 was also praised for its CGI graphics, the characters, voice performances, plot, and the new team, Konnersport.
