Overview

F1 2020 is the official video game of the 2020 Formula 1 and Formula 2 Championships developed and published by Codemasters. It is the thirteenth title in the Formula 1 series developed by the studio and was released on 7 July for pre-orders of the Michael Schumacher Edition and 10 July for the Seventy Edition on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and, for the first time, Stadia. The game is the twelfth main series installment in the franchise, and it features the twenty-two circuits, twenty drivers and ten teams proposed in the provisional 2020 Formula 1 World Championship.

F1 2020 features the championship as it was originally intended to be run before the COVID-19 pandemic led to the postponement or cancellation of several races. This was the final F1 game to be released independently by Codemasters before the studio was bought by EA in February 2021. The game was delisted on consoles by the end of May 2022; the Steam version followed in March 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the postponement or cancellation of several planned rounds of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship, with races at other circuits held. The Circuit Zandvoort and the Hanoi Circuit, circuits which were new to the championship in 2020, are included in the game despite the cancellations of the Dutch and Vietnamese Grands Prix. The 70th Anniversary, Eifel, Emilia Romagna, Portuguese, Sakhir, Styrian, Turkish and Tuscan Grands Prix, eight events that were added to the 2020 calendar, are not included as well as the Nürburgring, the Imola Circuit, the Portimão Circuit, the Bahrain International Circuit "Outer Circuit" layout, the Istanbul Park and the Mugello Circuit, as they use circuits that host other events.

F1 2020 was released to positive reviews. The title received "generally favorable" reviews for PC and PlayStation 4 and "universal acclaim" for Xbox One, on review aggregator Metacritic, thus making it the highest-rated Codemasters-developed F1 title on the site. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received "mighty" approval, being recommended by 98% of critics. Critics praised the new "My Team" mode, the addition of a Formula 2 mode, split-screen racing, accessibility for newcomers, and the racing itself. Critics also cite 2020 as one of the best F1 games ever published.
