Codemasters is launching F1 25: 2026 Season Pack on June 3, and PS5 Pro players are getting enhanced PSSR alongside it. Technical Producer Si Lumb broke down the implementation in a new Q&A.
The enhanced PSSR rolls into F1 25's Quality mode — the same mode that already runs ray traced reflections, dynamic diffuse global illumination, and ray traced global illumination. Lumb says Sony made the upgrade straightforward enough that shipping it at launch was an easy call. Players should see a noticeably sharper image the moment they boot the game after the update. Performance mode still targets 120Hz on compatible screens, and the 8K resolution mode remains for those with the hardware to use it. The game carries a PS5 Pro Enhanced badge on PS Store, continuing the support Codemasters started with F1 24.
Beyond the visual upgrades, the 2026 Season Pack brings the full 2026 FIA Formula One season to the game — new teams Audi and Cadillac, updated driver line-ups, active aerodynamics, a new Overtake mode, and the brand-new Madring circuit. Lumb specifically calls out Madring as the showcase for enhanced PSSR and ray tracing: it's a high-speed street circuit built from the ground up with all these rendering features in mind. Career and My Team modes are also expanded, letting players run a fully customizable 12th team on the grid.
Anyone who doesn't own F1 25 yet can pick up the F1 25: 2026 Season Edition, which bundles the base game with all the 2026 Season Pack content. Both launch June 3 on PS5.
