'F1 25' Unleashes High-Stakes Drama With The Return Of Braking Point Story Mode - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 24, 2025 @ 10:23 a.m. PDT

This Story is Yours. Leave your mark on the world of racing in F1 25, the official video game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Take the spotlight in the latest instalment of the fan-favourite story mode, Braking Point, with Konnersport now battling for championships, as a dramatic event throws the team into chaos. Braking Point now comes with multiple difficulty settings catering for returning vets and rookies making their F1 debuts. The on-track excitement ramps up with the upcoming event film of the summer, Apple Original Films’ F1, launching worldwide in cinemas this June from Warner Bros. Pictures.

Those who pre-order* the F1 25 Iconic Edition can experience post-launch gameplay chapters inspired by the film featuring the APXGP team.** F1 25 Iconic Edition players will also receive additional content, including 2025 season liveries for use in F1 24***, and up to three days early access.

Popular game mode, My Team receives its first significant overhaul with players calling the shots as the owner of their F1 team. Take on new responsibilities before getting behind the wheel as either of the team’s drivers. On track, F1 25 continues to innovate through the power of its EGO engine. Enabling increased circuit authenticity made possible through LIDAR technology, several tracks and their surroundings are transformed with a more realistic look and feel.

More details on the gameplay features and innovations will be revealed shortly through the F1 25 Deep Dive series.


Electronic Arts unveils an exciting new trailer for EA SPORTS F1 25, inviting players to take the lead in the next chapter of the Braking Point story mode.

In the latest instalment, fans will experience the emotional highs and lows of competing at the front of the grid with Konnersport, while enjoying new gameplay features such as enhanced player agency, improved animations, and the ability to take Konnersport and its drivers into other areas of the game.

Braking Point 3 sees the illustrious cast return to confront new challenges as their story unfolds. No longer a minnow's team, Konnersport finds itself fighting alongside the best in the sport. However, a dramatic event throws the team into chaos, testing their talent, determination, and skill as they battle for the World Championship.

The epic story mode will cater to new and veteran players through state-of-the-art motion-captured cutscenes, heart-stopping on-track gameplay, and new settings. F1® 25 introduces more agency, allowing players to choose which Konnersport driver to play as, along with four rebalanced difficulty levels. New NVIDIA Audio2Face technology delivers more extensive facial animations, and the updated “Meet the Press” features a more authentic presentation in driver interviews.

“We’ve watched Braking Point’s story evolve over the past two chapters, and we’re excited for players to take Aiden, Callie, and Devon’s journey into their own hands as Championship contenders,” said Gavin Cooper, Creative Director for F1® 25. “Knowing how much players cherish these characters, we’ve extended the Konnersport experience to other modes so they can continue to shape the team’s future. We're enabling players to take Konnersport into My Team and Driver Career, allowing them to create new storylines as they go up against this season's competitive grid”.

First introduced in 2021, Braking Point followed Aiden Jackson, a rookie looking to make a name for himself up against ruthless rival Devon Butler, a driver who would stop at nothing to succeed. The story continued in F1® 23, with the launch of fictional team Konnersport and the arrival of new protagonist Callie Mayer, the first woman to win the F2™ Championship. In the sequel, the once infamous Devon Butler had his perspective of the sport turned upside down, opening up a spot for Callie’s break into F1®. After two challenging seasons, the team improved its standings in the sport, setting up the latest instalment in F1® 25. Nonetheless, players will be able to enjoy the story and have a complete experience regardless of whether they have played the previous games.

As Formula 1 celebrates its 75th anniversary, players can compete alongside and against the biggest driver line-up change in several years, including Lewis Hamilton’s unprecedented move from Mercedes to Ferrari. The 2025 season promises to deliver the most unpredictable and dramatic season. With new stars trying to make a name for themselves, established drivers challenging for podiums, or veterans hoping for a World Championship on a new team, F1 25 allows players to re-create every breathtaking moment through various single-player and new collaborative options. 

Players who pre-order* the digital-exclusive F1 25 Iconic Edition will receive a multitude of perks linked to cover star Lewis Hamilton and the film F1, alongside a selection of instantly available 2025 season liveries for use in F1 24 Time Trial mode***, and much more.
