Next-Gen Racing Arrives: F1 25 on PS5 Pro Features 8K Resolution
The gaming world is set to shift gears with the release of Codemasters' highly anticipated racing title, F1 25. Scheduled to launch this week, the latest installment in the iconic Formula 1 series promises a monumental leap in graphical performance on the PlayStation 5 Pro — including support for a dazzling 8K resolution.
Unmatched Graphics Options and Performance Modes
F1 25 has been meticulously optimized to take full advantage of the PlayStation 5 Pro’s cutting-edge hardware. According to Lee Mather, Creative Director of F1 25, the game will offer players three advanced graphics modes: Quality, Performance, and Resolution.
- Quality Mode: Delivers ultra-sharp 4K visuals at a smooth 60 frames per second (FPS), complete with ray tracing throughout each race and Sony's advanced PSSR technology enabled.
- Performance Mode: Specifically crafted for 120Hz monitors, this mode lets drivers experience a fluid and highly responsive 4K resolution gameplay — ideal for competitive players seeking seamless action.
- Resolution Mode: Here’s where the PS5 Pro truly shines. Building on last year's innovations, Resolution Mode unlocks 8K resolution racing paired with 60 FPS, while enabling dynamic global illumination via DDGI ray tracing for lifelike lighting on every track.
Deep Dive Into Advanced Visual Features
F1 25 doesn't just stop with high resolutions. Players can push graphical fidelity even further — enabling realistic reflections, advanced shading, and DDGI RT technology during cutscenes, photo mode, and gameplay replays. In this scenario, gameplay runs at a crisp 8K resolution with 30 FPS, balancing breathtaking visuals with smooth motion.
Moreover, Codemasters has confirmed robust local co-op. Split-screen multiplayer supports a steady 60 FPS, guaranteeing top-tier performance without sacrificing visual quality, cementing F1 25's position as an esports-ready title.
Beyond Graphics: Enhanced Features and New Modes
In addition to technical improvements, F1 25 introduces significant gameplay upgrades — including the latest My Team mode and the next chapter in the Braking Point story campaign. Plenty of new game modes and dynamic in-game events are on the roadmap, offering fresh ways for racing fans to engage.
Market Impact and Release Information
As one of the first racing games to deliver true 8K gameplay on next-gen consoles, F1 25 sets a new benchmark for immersive driving experiences and digital realism. The game launches on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Iconic Edition owners will also enjoy exclusive early access, starting three days before the official release date.
