EA Sports has announced it will not release a new Formula 1 game for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
Instead, the company will provide a \u201cpaid expansion to F1 25\u201d, featuring 2026 cars, teams and regulations. Autosport has approached EA Sports as to whether the content will include the Madrid street track that will debut next year<\/a>, called Madring.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, EA Sports will focus on revamping its game for 2027, aiming at a new version that \u201clooks, feels, and plays differently, delivering more gameplay choices\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cF1 25 has been an incredible success, fuelled by the passion of fans and the energy of the sport,\u201d said Lee Mather, senior creative director at Codemasters. \u201cWith Formula 1\u2019s momentum on and off the track, now is the perfect time for us to look ahead and build for the future.<\/p>\n Read Also:<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re fully committed to the EA Sports F1 franchise. Our multi-year plan extends this year\u2019s excitement with the 2026 expansion and reimagines the F1 experience for 2027 to deliver even more for players at every level around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n EA Sports\u2019 decision coincides with F1\u2019s new technical era in 2026, as cars will feature new power units with a greater emphasis on electric energy, while active aerodynamics will be at play on the chassis side.<\/p>\n This will presumably allow EA Sports to get a hang of the new machinery\u2019s behaviour instead of hurrying it through and potentially inaccurately replicating it; it will also give developers more time to overhaul the game itself.<\/p>\n We want to hear from you!<\/p>\n Let us know what you would like to see from us in the future.<\/p>\n
