F1 24 is coming to PC later this year! PC racing gamers will be wondering what specs they'll need to run EA Sports' Formula 1 game, so will your rig be up to the challenge?
So, we'll be bringing you everything you need to know about F1 24 on PC. This includes the minimum and recommended PC specs, as well as where you should be able to buy F1 24.
F1 24 PC
Unlike standardized consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, no two gaming PCs are exactly alike.
This means you have virtually unlimited options when it comes to building your PC, but it also means you need to make sure your rig is up to the task of running your favorite games.
Because of the nature of the ever-evolving yearly franchise like EA Sports' F1 series, that means the yardstick is constantly moving. Just like F1 cars themselves, gaming PCs are constantly being improved and innovated.
So, we're bringing you everything that PC gamers can expect from F1 24 when it launches this summer!
Minimum specs
We'll start with the minimum specs for the game, as without a setup that has these capabilities, you won't be able to play F1 24 at all. With the recent reveal of the game, we now have the recommended minimum specs for F1 24 via Steam.
Here are F1 24's minimum PC system requirements:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit Version 21H1 or newer

Recommended specs
The minimum specs listed are the bare minimum for running F1 24 on PC. To run the game in higher graphics and frame rate settings, you'll need to bump those rookie PC numbers up.
These are the recommended specs for F1 24:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

With F1 24 also releasing on last-gen consoles, there's still an upgrade on F1 23, but not a significant one. We still expect F1 24 will push the boundaries of what the PS5, Series X | S and, by extension, the PC can do, however.
Where can I buy F1 24?
Retailers for F1 24 haven't been fully confirmed yet, but like the specs, we can make some educated guesses for what these will be. EA Play has been confirmed, as it is EA's online gaming platform and as F1 24 will be published by EA Sports, it will be on there.
The biggest PC games retailer is Steam, and despite a push towards EA Play for EA Sports games, Steam players still won't miss out on F1 24.
Other major gaming retailers in the UK such as Amazon and GAME will also likely be places to go to pre-order F1 24.
F1 24 editions & prices
F1 23 had two versions of the game which were available to pre-order. These were the "Standard" and "Champions" editions.
The same is the case for F1 24, with two separate editions for players to purchase. Both of these editions come with preorder bonuses for players looking to enter the paddock early.
The Champions Edition of F1 24 is priced at £79.99 but comes with a range of perks for those who preorder. As well as receiving two new Formula 1 Icons, 18k PitCoin, and an F1 World Bumper Pack, players can get a bonus VIP Podium Pass and three days early access.
The Standard Edition of the game comes with 5k PitCoins and an F1 World Starter Pack for players who preorder. This can be bought for £59.99.
Release date and trailer
After multiple rumors, teases, and leaks, F1 24 has been officially revealed., with EA confirming the release date.
F1 24 will be released on 31 May on all platforms, with three days of early access for players who preorder the game. Preorder bonuses also include exclusive 2024 car liveries, as well as VIP Podium Pass rewards, dependent on which edition of the game is preordered.
