Todays release marks the second update for PC players, with both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions benefit from much of the same treatment by the studio.Īlready riding the crest of a wave with the immense DiRT Rally, and following on with a Grand Prix game that is night and day improved from its older relatives, Codemasters really are well on their way to establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with once again. With an exceptional base already established, it appears that Codemasters are keen to build upon their strong start with a raft of updates being deployed across all three platforms for the game. Although fans were understandably reluctant to invest too much hope into the new release, Codemasters have come straight out of the blocks with an epic title, easily surpassing any previous F1 effort the studio have produced since taking over the licence for the 2010 season. With an aggressive pre release marketing strategy, and many positive noises coming from those who found themselves with an opportunity to sample early builds of F1 2016, sim racing and Formula One enthusiasts found themselves more excited about the new game than many have felt in recent years. With a number of less than impressive Formula One games littering the history of Codemasters recent releases, many felt the latest Formula One title would be something of a final chance for the British studio to deliver a game worthy of the Formula One licence.
Codemasters have confirmed an update for the game has been submitted, and expect approval and deployment for Xbox One players in the very near future. Hot on the heals of the recent big PC update, Codemasters have been at it again with deployment of the promised PlayStation 4 patch, and a more compact update for PC players to enjoy.ĭue to the often laborious process of approving any game updates for Microsoft consoles, Xbox One players have yet to receive an update to F1 2016 alongside their PC and PS4 playing counterparts.
