F1 Manager 2024 is set to start its engines this year and players are beginning to ask questions about the game. With the previous two entries in the series both being single-player only, will F1 Manager 2024 have multiplayer this year?
Customizing the grid
F1 Manager returns, and the series looks better than ever. F1 Manager 2024’s reveal comes with confirmation of the much-requested Create a Team mode. This finally lets players build their very own teams from the ground up, fully customizing the grid.
Along with the new Create A Team mode, F1 Manager 2024’s AI has also been overhauled to more closely resemble the real F1 grid. As a result, the racing looks and feels more immersive, and off the track, the AI is now as ruthless as the real-life paddock.
The rest of the grid can now poach drivers and staff, so it’s up to you to keep everyone happy or be left in the dust of your championship rivals. It’s a good idea to have a shortlist of replacements lined up just in case the piranhas come snapping.
Random mechanical failures can now also happen during a race. Engines can implode, gearboxes can lock up, or ERS systems can reboot without notice, keeping team principals on their toes at all times when planning out strategies.
With the game shaping up to be the recovery drive the F1 Manager series needs, players are asking another big question. With the previous games being single-player-only, will F1 Manager 2024 introduce multiplayer to the series?
Does F1 Manager 2024 have multiplayer?
For players who want to join their friends in the racing action, it’s not looking like good news. From what Frontier has revealed so far, F1 Manager 2024 won't have multiplayer support, so it looks like the series will continue to be single-player only.
It’s hard to make a race management game multiplayer, with Motorsport Manager also remaining single-player both on PC and mobile. With so much going on at once, having two separate players controlling aspects of the race isn’t possible without one player affecting the other’s experience.
Sadly, then, it looks like multiplayer won’t be coming to the F1 Manager series anytime soon.
Release date and Trailer
Frontier has confirmed F1 Manager 2024 will be released on July 23, 2024.
This is worldwide on all systems, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is also available to pre-order now, with players able to watch the new pre-order trailer below:
