It isn’t enormously different to that in F1 2021, meaning players who’ve already thoroughly rinsed that game may get a strong sense of deja vu. There’s no way to buy them with real money, and there’s a separate mode outside of F1 Life which lets you take on the challenges anyway – the tokens are only used to ‘buy’ the cars for display in your hub.į1 Life seems fairly throwaway at the moment, then, but thankfully the Career mode remains present and accounted for. The unlocking process for these supercars is surprisingly restrained, as players simply earn tokens by racking up mileage. The most interesting part of the new F1 Life mode is the addition of supercars, which can be driven in time trials or a series of 40 special ‘Pirelli Hot Laps’ challenges. Naturally, while it’s possible to unlock items without buying the pass, some of the best car liveries and the like are exclusive to those who pay up. Players can buy the first season’s Podium Pass for 9000 ‘PitCoin’, which comes to $8.99 / £7.99 in real money terms (for a pack of 11,000). Of course, over time players will be able to unlock new furniture and avatar customisation options as part of the returning Podium Pass, the game’s ‘battle pass’ system which lets players earn XP through challenges and collect rewards along the way. “There’s only a small selection of furniture in F1 Life at launch, meaning we don’t foresee a situation where players are flocking to each other’s hubs to see which of the five different types of couch they picked.” There’s only a small selection of furniture in F1 Life at launch, meaning we don’t foresee a situation where players are flocking to each other’s hubs to see which of the five different types of sofa they picked. In practice, though, it’s not really that appealing at this stage. The idea is that you customise your own avatar and choose from a series of furniture items to customise your own living area, which other players can then check out. There may be minor differences on the track, then, but it’s the new F1 Life mode that EA and Codemasters are trumpeting as the latest big addition to the series. There’s more grip on corners and there’s minimal drag on straights, to the extent that players who put a lot of time into F1 2021 will notice a difference, but adjusting to it will take no more time than adjusting to the fact that the title formatting has gone from ‘2021’ to just ‘22’.
