Comments:

Version 1.000.000 included on disc. Version 1.0.1235287 displayed in game.

Offline modes:
⁃ Braking Point 3 (Story mode)
⁃ Career (Driver Career or My Team 2.0 Career)
⁃ Grand Prix
⁃ Time Trial
⁃ Split screen (2 Player)
⁃ LAN Game
⁃ Theatre

All main tracks and cars of the 2025 F1 season are included on disc, however the reverse variants of the tracks that are supposed to have them are only available in the update. All 5 tracks that have been updated using LIDAR scanning have those updates present on disc.

The disc only includes the 2024 F2 season cars, with the 2025 cars being added in a post launch update.

When playing offline, most F1 World features and progression are disabled, with the only modes available in the F1 World menu being the standard Grand Prix and Time Trial modes from the previous games. You can still use your F1 World car in races, but only if you enable equal performance. You can still earn some car liveries offline by completing objectives in My Team.

Issues:
⁃ If you play the game before it has fully finished installing from the disc, most of the commentary and radio audio will be missing. While most of it returns after the game has completed installation, you have to completely restart the game to get the rest of the audio to play correctly.

⁃ When playing without a linked PSN account, you will not be able to earn any trophies and your player name will appear as “lng_unresolved” in the F1 World menu. If you set a LAN name in the LAN play menu, the game will use that name in the F1 World menu instead.

⁃ Encountered one instance where the Livery Editor did not show any decals. Backing out of the editor and reopening it resolved the issue.

⁃ The patch adds a few additional tutorials to explain some menus in Braking Point 3

⁃ Encountered an instance in Braking Point 3 where one of the phone calls in chapter 8 played out twice.

⁃ Encountered various instances in My Team when in game messages didn’t line up with current events, for example, the game saying you are low on money when you aren’t.

⁃ If a driver declines your contract in My Team, going to the driver menu does not dismiss the message. You have to dismiss the message manually.

⁃ In My Team, pre race commentary would play incorrect lines before each race. This wasn’t encountered in the other modes.

⁃ The trophy for winning the Constructor’s Championship didn’t pop despite coming first in the Championship in My Team.

⁃ Encountered a few instances where there were some graphical artifacts on the edges of the screen during some pre & post race cutscenes, but this issue was rare.
