The Ultimate Management Sim for Formula 1 Enthusiasts Lands This Summer
Frontier Developments plc has announced the upcoming launch of F1 Manager 2024, marking the third installment in the officially licensed Formula 1 management series. Scheduled for a digital release in summer 2024, the game will be available across multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This latest edition offers fans an unparalleled opportunity to step into the shoes of an F1 Team Principal, deciding their own fate in the 2024 season and beyond.
New Features Elevate Gameplay
For the first time in the series, F1 Manager 2024 introduces a Create A Team mode, allowing players to establish and lead a custom team to glory. This feature empowers players to design and customize various elements of their team, from aesthetics to strategic sponsorships, fueling their journey to the top. Additionally, players can scout for emerging talent or secure established stars to strengthen their team’s lineup.
Beyond the track, the success of a team hinges on strategic off-track management.

The game introduces a new mentality system for drivers and staff, highlighting individual personalities and demands, challenging players to maintain motivation and cohesion within their team.
Rival teams and enhanced AI present a constant threat, striving to close the gap on and off the track. The threat of key personnel being poached adds an extra layer of strategy, as teams must navigate the ever-changing dynamics of the paddock.
Immersive Race Day Experience
F1® Manager 2024 offers an immersive experience of race day, allowing players to control every aspect of the race from strategic viewpoints. With on-board cameras and a bird’s-eye view, players can make informed decisions, directing their drivers through voiced race engineers. The game promises improved racing behaviors, offering a blend of simulation and reality, where mechanical failures can jeopardize even the best strategies and championship aspirations.
