F1 22 requirements and release date

Electronic Arts have announced the F1 22 system requirements, as well as an official release date for the PC edition, which will be available on July 1, that is, in a little over a couple of months.

It will also be available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series XS on that day, but the PC version is the most fascinating from a technical standpoint, as it will be compatible with virtual reality.

It has been revealed that the My Team feature will return, as well as the sprint race rankings mode and an online and local split-screen multiplayer game.

The requirements for F1 22 have also been confirmed, and the reality is that they are relatively low, which is a good thing because it means that more people will be able to enjoy the game and that even those with low-end PCs will be able to move it.

F1 22 Requirements: Minimum

• Windows 10 64-bit updated to version 1909.
• Intel Core i3-2130 or AMD FX-4300 processor (two cores and four threads).
• 8 GB of RAM.
• GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or Radeon RX 470 graphics card. If we activate ray tracing we will need an RTX 2060 or an RX 6700 XT.
• DirectX 12.
• 80 GB of free space.

They are pretty reasonable standards, which is appropriate given that this is an intergenerational transition game. There is no significant inaccuracy in the equivalences, however, keep in mind that the RX 470 is more powerful than the GTX 1050 Ti. In the AMD catalog, the latter has no direct equivalence.

When it comes to ray tracing, and RX 6700 XT is recommended because the RTX 2060 outperforms the RX 6600 XT in some circumstances.

F1 22 Requirements: Recommended

• Windows 10 64-bit updated to version 1909.
• Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X processor (six cores and six threads).
• 16 GB of RAM.
• GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or Radeon RX 590 graphics card. If we activate ray tracing we will need an RTX 3070 or an RX 6800.
• DirectX 12.
• 80 GB of free space.

In this scenario, the Intel Core i5-9600K offers better single-thread performance than the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, but it only has 6 cores and 6 threads, whereas the AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads. The GTX 1660 Ti, on the other hand, outperforms the RX 590, and the closest equivalent would be a GTX 1660.

In terms of ray tracing equivalency, the RTX 3070 is roughly equivalent to the RX 6800 XT on average, but this game may be better tuned for the Radeon RX 6000.
