F1 25 Minimum and Recommended System Requirements, Explained

The launch of F1 25 is slowly moving into view, much to the delight of players waiting to see what EA Sports and Codemasters have in store for the latest instalment of the Formula One (F1) series. The return of Braking Point, in addition to a collaboration with the F1 movie, has already got fans talking ahead of the developers sharing more information as they prepare to line up on the grid once more.

With support for the PS4 and Xbox One coming to an end, the F1 25 specs are essential information for anyone looking to make the leap onto PC for the very first time. Understanding the minimum and recommended requirements to ensure the on-track action runs smoothly makes all the difference in single-player and multiplayer races, and ahead of launch, EA Sports has shared more intel.

F1 25 System Requirements, Explained

Just like all PC games, F1 25 has a set of minimum and recommended specs so players can see if their system is capable of running races with a smooth frame rate and high graphical quality. In most cases, the F1 25 specs act as a guide as to whether a PC can function as intended without impacting in-game performance.

Without further ado, here’s a closer look at the minimum and recommended system requirements:

Minimum Requirements

• Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 / i5-9600K (VR) or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 / Ryzen 5 2600X (VR)
• Memory: At least 8 GB of RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 1060 6GB / 1660 Ti (VR) / RTX 2060 (Ray tracing) or AMD RX 570 8GB / RX 590 (VR) / 6700XT (Ray tracing) or Intel Arc A380 (VR + ray tracing)
• Storage: At least 100 GB
• VR: Meta Quest 3 + Link / Meta Quest 2 + Link / Oculus Rift S / HTC Cosmos / HTC Vive Pro / Valve Index / HP Reverb G2

Any PC with the specs listed above should have the ability to run F1 25 at a steady frame rate and with graphics settings that are medium or higher. To avoid any spikes in frame rate, we recommend keeping the graphics settings low, along with disabling the spray when it rains.

Recommended Requirements

• Processor: Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
• Memory: At least 16 GB of RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (+VR) / RTX 3070 (Ray tracing) or AMD RX 6600XT / RX 6700 XT (VR) / RX 6800 (Ray tracing) or Intel Arc A580 (VR and ray tracing)
• Storage: At least 100 GB
• VR: Meta Quest 3 + Link / Meta Quest 2 + Link / Oculus Rift S / HTC Cosmos / HTC Vive Pro / Valve Index / HP Reverb G2

For those looking for the highest frame rates without compromising on graphics, the specs above provide players with what’s required to run the game at its maximum. With ray tracing adding even more detail to F1 race weekends, some hefty hardware is required to avoid any unwanted issues.
