After a thrilling British Grand Prix this weekend, F1 23 has dropped a new patch for virtual racers. We're approaching one month since F1 23 launched and we still love this year's game.
A few game-altering issues were recently discovered, and the new update for F1 23 attacks these first and foremost. So let's dive into the patch and see what's happening.
Equal tyre wear is fixed
The headline fix is for league racers and esports drivers, as Codemasters has patched the equal tyre wear issue. This problem surfaced in the early rounds of the elite league racing scene and has caused no small amount of chaos.
It's unclear if this problem impacted the F1 esports build of the game, but the speed of the fix from Codies is great to see and should mean leagues can get back to operating as usual.
Contract bug is gone
One of the most bizarre issues in F1 23 revolved around driver contracts expiring before the final race of the season. Players saw Lewis Hamilton retire before Abu Dhabi when still in contention for the title and drivers switch teams with a race still to go.
This fix should mean you can hit the end of your career mode & My Team season with confidence now.
Here are the full patch notes for the new update.
