F1 25 Hides Movie Crossover Content in Iconic Edition

Apr 24, 2025 12:00 PM

The highly anticipated racing game F1 25 is set to include exclusive content based on the upcoming F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, but this content will only be available through the game's iconic edition. Developers assert that players opting for the standard edition will not miss out on the core experience, emphasizing that the additional movie-related features are supplementary rather than essential to gameplay. The iconic edition includes elements like the fictional APXGP team and live-service gameplay scenarios inspired by the film. The developers aimed to synchronize the game’s release with the movie to create a complementary experience while ensuring standard edition players still enjoy the full racing game.

Will I miss out on important features if I don't buy the iconic edition of F1 25?

No, players who purchase the standard edition of F1 25 will still have access to a complete and enjoyable experience, as the movie-related content is described as additional rather than critical to the gameplay.

F1 25 represents the latest evolution in the long-standing Formula 1 gaming franchise, which aims to simulate the thrills of real-life F1 racing. With the introduction of cinematic elements from the movie, the game seeks to attract a broader audience in addition to traditional racing fans. F1 games have steadily evolved to include robust career modes, realistic physics, and thrilling online competitions, making them a staple for motorsport enthusiasts.

Love when games tie into movies without making it feel like a cash grab—kudos to the devs for keeping the standard edition legit. That said, the APXGP team better have some wild livery options to justify the iconic edition hype.

Nice to see devs keeping the core experience intact while offering bonus movie content as a fun extra—feels like a fair approach to special editions. Though I wonder if the APXGP team will become as iconic as some of the real F1 squads in the long run.
