EA SPORTS F1 25
Reframing racing for a new generation of fans
A bold reset that reignited player passion, elevated brand relevance, and drove sustained commercial growth
CHALLENGE
The Spark Has Faded
F1’s global momentum was undeniable, but the game hadn’t kept pace. Amid a standout real-world season, the franchise faced challenges slipping visibility, softer engagement, and a sense of disconnect with its audience.
It was time to reignite the spark and re-establish the brand as a must-play experience for today’s F1 generation.
F1 teams, brand partners, athletes... are all competing to capture fans attention with amazing stories.
