F1 25 becomes one of the few games offering path tracing technology. This feature, also found in games like Cyberpunk 2077, will be accessible only to PC players.
The developer explains that path tracing lets light follow every bounce, including indirect lighting. This creates realistic shade, light effects during races under Bahrain lights or sunset at Baku.
F1 25 includes other visual upgrades as well. Players will notice better tone mapping, improved track surfaces showing tire marks, and LIDAR scanning for more accurate tracks. This technology helped make trees match their real-world counterparts, such as cherry blossoms at Suzuka.
The game uses NVIDIA Audio2Face for better facial animations during Career mode. Press interviews display more realistic driver responses. This animation improvement extends to team managers in My Team mode.
PlayStation 5 Pro users can enjoy split-screen racing at 60 frames per second. The game launches May 30 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. System requirements for path tracing remain unannounced.
