If you want a leg up on the rest of the competition in F1 25, you must meet the minimum or recommended PC specs.
Codemasters fully optimized F1 25 for PC. This includes real-time path tracing, a new render mode that improves racing immersion, and virtual reality that captures the drama of the race from the cockpit.
Along with those exclusive features, players can optimize their playing experience with custom graphics settings, ray tracing, eye tracking, and additional controller support for controllers, wheels, pedals, and custom hardware. However, to make the most of those enhancements, you need the right PC build.
F1 Minimum PC Requirements
Codemasters revealed the minimum PC requirements, meaning players won’t experience any issues while playing F1 25, but they shouldn’t expect the best experience possible.
If your PC doesn’t meet the minimum specs required for F1 25, you may not be able to launch the game entirely, so make sure you check off every box before making a purchase you will regret.
Once you have the right setup, PC players should be aware that there is also a feature that allows them to export clips to video files, save full replays, and share them with friends. You can also use the Steam workshop to find and download balanced setups for every Grand Prix using custom setups created by the community.
