EA SPORTS F1 has revealed release timings for F1 25, and the pitch can never be real! The official tweet read: “Formation Lap complete, eyes on the lights”, teasing the imminent release. Players across the world are scrambling to plan when they would finally clamour for the game. The reactions, in fact, went all over the place.
Some fans are foaming at the mouth with excitement: @J4M3S19 simply begged, “just release it now i cant wait!! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜” Meanwhile, others are fighting with bad launch times, like @JamieJW21: “nice 1am release for me, good shit codies”. Oof. Time zones. They never are fair.
And some of them roll with the usual excitement while throwing in some doubt. @JoeBurrowBurner exclaimed nothing less than pressure, “If this game is bad you guys are done I hope you cooked.” On the other hand, @dracul_gras seemed hopeful but guarded in saying, “i hope it feels better than 24 did to drive.” Well, we’ve all been totally burned before.
Then, the reply-section nurtures regional confusion as well. @bywater_paul asks, “So is uk midnight???” before being notified by @AnarchyAliGames, “No, 4PM uk time mate.” Then there’s poor @Frances53296279 trying to nail down Italian release time, with @_edgrey cutting in, “27th, 10:00 am at your local time.” The struggle is all too real when you just wanna race.
Indeed, some straight-up went out with the disappointing comments. @sfr_mhartin sputtered, “Literally no reason to pre order,” while @Stephen80094991 went against EA’s monetization schemes: “Are we having to buy liveries for my team again? Cause that is dog.” And rightly so. Microtransactions for a racing game? Not exactly something we’d endorse.
But hey, there are some people who are just grateful for not having to stay up all night. @DG94RF said, “Just after the work day tomorrow. Good.” Then, @MattMoon500 countered with, “We been off work all weekend, brother. Drop this shit,” the excitement keeping on building.
While EA hasn’t confirmed any last-minute alterations, assuming they don’t go for a surprise early drop—oddly unlikely—hope will rest at every player’s respective launch time. With mixed feelings on whether it’s worth it or not, the real test will indeed be in its gameplay once it hits the shelves.
So, either hyped, skeptical, or just trying to figure out when to play, F1 25 is around the corner. Now we just gotta hope EA actually delivered on the handling this time. Otherwise, we’re about to have some massive Twitter meltdowns.
Well, until then, all we can do is wait. All engines revving, joy-cons charged, fingers crossed that this isn’t yet another disappointment. Catch you on the track—well, whenever that is for your time zone.
