F1 Manager 2023 Countdown timer US & UK

Here is our F1 Manager 23 Countdown Clock:

All Formula One players beginning their journey on July 31 will have access to the game at the same time. There is Early Access, but that comes a few days early. On launch day, everyone will begin playing at the same time. 

Does F1 Manager 2023 start at different times?

No, F1 Manager 23 will not be available at different times unless you have pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition. In that case, Early Access kicks in, but those players all have the same start time. This is true regardless of if you are playing on a PC, a PlayStation 4, or an Xbox Series X.

Do you get F1 Manager 2023 early if you pre-order?

All of that is for the Standard Edition of F1 Manager. Pre-orders for the Deluxe Edition have been available. If you did that, things differ. That gave players Early Access, which allows players to get on the racing line today (July 27). The start times remain the same, though. 

For Early Access, the first time anyone will be able to play is July 27 at 11am EDT, 8am PDT, or 4pm BST. 

Pre-ordering the Standard Edition (which is available on console stores, Steam, and the Epic Games Store) of F1 Manager won’t grant you access until July 31. 

What is available when F1 Manager 2023 releases?

When F1 Manager 23 goes live on all consoles and platforms, everything will be available. As of now, there are no plans for the game to have staggered releases of content. What’s in the game on launch is likely what will remain the content throughout its shelf life. 

That means the circuits (including the new Las Vegas strip circuit), the pit crews, a new game mode called race replay mode, new drivers, and so much more will all be available when this year’s game launches. 

Another thing that will be important when the game comes out is that everything matters in F1 Manager 23. It is expected to be the most realistic F1 game yet. A spin or pit stop error can overtake your driver’s confidence and affect their race conditions. 

All drivers from last year’s game will be present once more provided they haven’t retired or left the sport. F1 Manager 23 will have drivers for Ferrari, McLaren, Alpine and more. Drivers will be able to experience the pivotal moment of a real race, play exclusive race moments (with the Deluxe Edition pre-order bonuses found in the exclusive scenarios pack), and more. 

Consider July 31 the official race day for the 2023 season of F1 Manager. Then, you can lap the competition in sprint events, be the experienced sporting director of a real Formula One team and manage the starting grid, experience the new visor camera, and hit key moments in your team’s races.
