EA Puts F1 Game Series on Pit Stop Until 2027: What Fans Need to Know

EA Presses Pause on F1 Series: Big Comeback Planned for 2027

EA Sports has decided to give its popular F1 game series a breather, skipping the annual release cycle in favor of a major return in 2027. This means there won’t be a brand-new F1 title in 2026. Instead, the current F1 25 will receive a substantial update in 2026—a 2026 season expansion—before the franchise makes what EA promises will be a “big step forwards” with a fresh installment in 2027.

Why the Break? Quality Over Quantity

EA isn’t just taking a vacation. Developers plan to use this extra time to work on significant improvements for the 2027 release. So, F1 fans, you’ll have to keep your engines running a bit longer, but hopefully, it’ll be worth the wait. F1 25 owners can look forward to the 2026 season expansion, keeping the game fresh while the team works on next-level features. It’s like giving your favorite racing car a tune-up before the big race—just with more pixels and less tire smoke.

Honestly, this is the gaming equivalent of hitting the pit lane for some major upgrades. Let’s hope EA doesn’t forget to tighten the lug nuts before 2027! Until then, here’s hoping the 2026 update gives us enough racing action to tide us over.
