The release of F1 25 is screeching ever closer and the wait is almost over but, if you are impatient, you will want to know if early access is available—and we have the answer.
F1 25 is the fifth entry in the series since EA’s takeover of Codemasters and comes at a high point for the motorsport, with increased attention following the success of the Drive to Survive Netflix series and a Hollywood film starring Brad Pitt on the horizon.
Whether you want to race as your favorite driver or create your own legacy, F1 25 offers that chance, and we can tell you how to jump in early.
Can You Play F1 25 Early Access?
Yes, F1 25 has Early Access options enabling you to play the game up to three days early—and you won’t even need to purchase the game with one option.
For unlimited Early Access to F1 25, the Iconic Edition is the way to go, with the release date of May 27 giving three unfiltered days of play before the main release, along with other cosmetic bonuses exclusive to the bundle.
Alternatively, an EA Play membership provides a five-hour free trial of F1 25, allowing you to test out the game before committing to a purchase.
If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or an Xbox Game Pass PC subscription, EA Play is included in your package, so you won’t have to spend an extra penny.
Otherwise, EA Play costs $4.99 per month, so it’s still a good idea to pick up if you’re unsure whether to splash out on F1 25 entirely.
