New F1 25 Update Goes Live, Patch Notes Revealed

F1 25 has dropped patch 1.11, which aims to address several “community-raised issues” and also hints at improvements and enhancements to AI coming to the game in the future. The patch was released today at 6:00 a.m. EST /3:00 a.m. PST and provided adjustments to vehicles, multiplayer, the UI, and more. It also added new content for Season 2. 

The patch changes for this latest game version were built upon a thread of community-raised issues that players can report and track the progress of. Reported issues are given a status update when they are either resolved or added in future patches. Along with the patch notes, EA announced that enhancements to AI-controlled vehicles would be coming to the game in mid-September as part of Season 3.

Players had previously complained of issues with AI acceleration and out-of-corner traction, as well as computer-controlled wet-weather performance, which broke the immersion of the game for some players. A previous patch, 1.06, had aimed to address problems with players competing against the AI in wet weather conditions, but it seems, based on plans, that this wasn’t enough to completely solve the problem.

If you are a dedicated F1 25 player, be sure to read the new patch notes, courtesy of EA, below, and let us know how well the development team did with this latest update. Are you hopeful that promised AI changes will resolve the majority of issues with computer-controlled vehicles by Season 3?
