EA and Codemasters Introduce F1 2021
Late last year, Electronic Arts acquired the developer of the F1 video game series Codemasters. The two have now officially announced the latest title in the series with F1 2021. This will be EA’s first foray into the motorsport of Formula One since 2002 when it had the license to create racing games. While not heavily involved, Codemasters will still be developing these titles. F1 2021 will be launching on both current and previous generation consoles along with PC on July 16. It is the official game of the Formula One 2021 season and will include three new tracks that are on the schedule this year: Imola, Portimao and Jeddah. These will be available as free post-launch content, but a slew of new additions will be in F1 2021.

Of course, they’ll have to do so on a device that’s significantly less powerful. The Series S has the same eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU as the Series X, but it runs at a 200MHz deficit. It also has 10GB of GDDR6 RAM against the Series X’s 16GB. Where the Series X has a 12 teraflop GPU running at 1.825GHz, the Series S has a weedy-sounding 4 teraflop GPU running at just 1.55Ghz. That GPU has just 20 RDNA2 compute units, too, where the Series X GPU has 52.
How on Earth can it play the same games then? Well, where the Series X is designed to play them at native 4K resolutions at 60 to 120fps, the Series S targets a maximum 1440p at 60fps. And in the real world, rather than the world of console specs, that often means 1080p at 60fps or even 1080p at 30fps. If you’re a paid-up member of the benchmark-obsessed PC gaming massive you’ll regard this as the stuff of nightmares, but if games look great and play well at 1080p on Series S, does it really matter?
