Crossplay would not be included in F1 22 until after launch, as we previously knew, and Codemasters reassured gamers who were looking forward to this feature by stating that it would be formally unveiled in August.
Therefore, there is currently no specific launch date, but work on implementing crossplay appears to be doing well, and Codemasters is excited about the concept of uniting gamers on PC and consoles.
“Our gamers can compete against one another in crossplay to see who is the best rider across all platforms. Additionally, crossplay enables us to better match riders so they may compete against others of comparable skill sets, “Lee Mather, a senior creative director, noted.
A contractor in Ukraine is managing the function for U.K.-based Codemasters, which had planned for cross-platform multiplayer to be a launch feature when F1 22 entered the market on July 1.

Overall, Codemasters anticipates that cross-platform multiplayer will considerably enhance online multiplayer matchmaking, ensuring that drivers are more frequently matched with players of comparable quality.
