After successful beta sessions earlier this month, F1 22 now has cross-play in social race and two-player Career Mode. Gamers on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S or PC can now race across multiple platforms.
You’ll need to enable cross-play in the Game Options > Settings menu. On Xbox, you may need to enable cross-play in your account settings. Details on how to do this can be found here. After enabling cross-play, when you select Social Race you will have the ability to invite and join other sessions across all platforms. Disabling cross-play will only match you with those in your console family (e.g. PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4).
The Friends Hub is where you can review any pending friend requests or session invites. You can also search for and add friends as well as those you’ve recently raced against. Friends Hub can be accessed from the Main Menu by clicking the left thumbstick (or F10 on a keyboard) and then selecting the Friends Option.
As a session host, in order to invite someone to your lobby from another platform, head to the Invite Friends option in the lobby and invite them from there. They’ll receive an invite through the Friends Hub.
F1 22 Podium Pass 2 is also available featuring dozens of unlockable items for both free and VIP tiers. With the podium pass, you can customize your car with liveries, wear fashion items to bring a new look to your driver, or decorate your personal F1 Life. XP is earned by playing your favorite modes in to unlock items.
In Podium Pass Series 2 fans can unlock items from a special set from McLaren’s Lando Norris. It includes livery, gloves, race suit and helmet. The VIP tier can unlock the Fire Dragon set and items. Read more about it and get more details at the official website.
