Gameplay
F1 23 sees the return of the story mode, "Braking Point", which was introduced in F1 2021. Two characters from "Braking Point", Devon Butler, the main antagonist, and Aiden Jackson, the protagonist, return for Braking Point 2, as well as veteran now-retired driver Casper Akkerman, who also makes an appearance as a mentor and later Team Principal for Konnersport. A new character named Callie Mayer, Devon Butler's sister, makes an appearance, along with their dad, Davidoff Butler who is the CEO of his own company, Butler Global, and Andreo Konner, the founder and owner of Konnersport, who was the team principal in the 2022 season.
F1 23 features overhauled driving physics and added the option to set a 35% race distance. Red flags, which last appeared in F1 2014, make an appearance. The game's UI has been overhauled for an experience much more akin to the presentation of current Formula One races. New additions to the My Team Icons pack include 1992 World Champion Nigel Mansell, W Series driver Jamie Chadwick (who also assisted the developers with Braking Point 2), former Williams driver Pastor Maldonado, and former Toyota reserve driver and Sauber and Caterham driver Kamui Kobayashi.
Story
A sequel to the Braking Point story mode introduced in F1 2021, F1 23 features Braking Point 2, set in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Drivers Aiden Jackson and Devon Butler, both returning from the first Braking Point, are now teammates at the fictional Konnersport Butler Global Racing Team. Introduced in this story mode is Formula 2 prodigy Callie Mayer (voiced by Emer Kenny), who dreams of earning a shot at motorsport's most prestigious single seater category after winning the Formula 2 championship in the 2021 season with Trident, becoming the first woman to claim the title in doing so. She also happens to be Butler's sister.
As revealed in a Deep Dive video published on 22 May 2023, the writing team partnered with three time W Series champion and Williams development driver Jamie Chadwick to bring Mayer's story to life. Both Butler and Jackson retain their race numbers of 71 and 89 respectively, while Mayer uses 66 during her stint in Formula One (20 as a Trident driver).
Development
F1 23 was teased in March 2023 by its developers as a "fresh start" for the series. Codemasters, who worked on the series since F1 2009, and EA Sports returned to work on the game. A new trailer showcasing the "Konnersport Butler Global Racing Team" was released on 28 April, with the official trailer launched on 3 May. Prior to the reveal, a closed beta was made available.
The game features two covers, with Max Verstappen on both the original and revised versions of the Champions' Edition cover, with the latter being shown without his helmet with a different winning pose, and Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, and Lando Norris on the standard edition cover. The game was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Linux on 16 June, with the Champions Edition of the game available three days earlier on 13 June.
Reception
F1 23 received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The game was praised for its revised handling model, the AI, and the inclusion of red flags. Many critics considered F1 23 to be an improvement over its predecessor F1 22. Braking Point 2 was also praised for its CGI graphics, the characters, voice performances, plot, and the new team, Konnersport.
