F1 22 finally offers cross-generational online gaming!

Last week the Electronic Arts teams presented the next version of their racing game: F1 22. If this one brings the new 2022 single-seaters, F1 Life mode and increasingly realistic Formula 1 cars. However, some hints on EA’s official website could cast doubt on a crucial point regarding the competitive scene.

Cross gene? pass cross gene? Cross-gen!

There are two versions for F1 22:

Xbox One and Xbox Series. In the first version of the Dual Entitlement FAQ,

The publisher had stated that the game would only be playable with people using the same version. An Xbox Series player would have had to install the Xbox One version to play with owners of the latter. A few days later, a Codemasters employee had hinted that the game would work completely transparently through the versions, which was not confirmed by the publisher or an official communication.

With the English version of the Dual Entitlement FAQ, we have the end of the story. F1 22 will be fully cross-gen and players of the Xbox One and Xbox Series versions will be able to play together. And that without changing the version, as with F1 2021.

Many communities will therefore be relieved to learn that they will not be separated by the generation of consoles they own, while we still don’t have any news about the crossplay we talked about Tom Henderson.
