Redwood City, Calif. – May 24, 2023 – Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) shared the first in-depth look at the FORMULA 1 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX in F1® 23, an official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship™. The brand-new racing location will make its virtual debut when the game launches on June 16. F1® 23 will offer fans, and even F1® drivers themselves, a chance to race the circuit ahead of the real-world Grand Prix™. This will be the first time in Formula 1® history that cars will race on the iconic Las Vegas Strip.

“Our team has designed a wonderful virtual recreation of one of the most exciting and striking cities in the world. The sheer scale and density of the buildings in Las Vegas has been a fun challenge for the team along with the vibrance and energy of The Strip lit up for the Saturday night race. It took over 1900 days of cumulative development time to deliver that level of authenticity”, said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters.

The studio built the Las Vegas Strip Circuit™ from the ground up using thousands of reference photos and substantial photogrammetry data. The design features three straights, a high-speed cornering sequence and a single chicane section. With average speeds around the track set to be comparable to the original ‘Temple of Speed’ – Italy’s Autodromo Nazionale Monza –, drivers will weave past in this 6.12km circuit at speeds of up to 212 mph. The high-stakes circuit will pose a unique challenge to racers as they hit top speed on the Las Vegas Strip, passing world-famous landmarks, casinos, and resorts.

To celebrate the iconic track, time-limited Las Vegas-themed items*, including a special livery, helmet, gloves, and hat, will be available for anyone who pre-orders the F1® 23 Champions Edition before May 31.

F1® 23 will release across, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam.
