SEASON 4: SURVIVAL CHALLENGE
In a real-world season that continues to be unpredictable despite just a handful of races left on the calendar, we’re keeping you entertained in the virtual world too in Season 4, celebrating a breathtaking year. To read the detailed Patch Notes, detailing all the changes made to the game, head to the separate post linked here.
New Content: Survival Challenge (Nov 12 - Jan 7)
With each new special livery revealed by teams throughout the season, we’ve been hearing you loud and clear that there have been some highlights you want added to F1® 25, on top of those already added to the game since launch in May. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. In our biggest drop yet, you can expect a total of four Special Liveries added to the game from Ferrari, Red Bull, Sauber, and Racing Bulls, with six Driver Helmets up for grabs too. You’re going to have to work for them though! Introducing Survival Challenge, a new limited-time game mode available right from the Main Menu. Offering you a new way to play, Survival Challenge is a quick-fire, instant-action multiplayer mode where you’ll battle it out against four others in a fast-paced event. After lights-out, you’ll have two minutes to race on-track, then, when the timer hits zero, the car in last-place will be knocked out. Then, periodically, each backmarker will be wiped out leaving just one car to claim victory. As you play, you’ll earn a number of Survival Tokens that can be exchanged for the Special Liveries and Driver Helmets in the Event Catalogue. Here’s some quick facts about Survival Challenge:
With DRS immediately available and no collisions on the first lap, you can expect some quick starts, with each race taking no longer than 5 minutes to complete
Circuits include those featuring at the end of the real-world calendar (Brazil, Austin, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi) as well as some of the more popular tracks from our game like Spa and Austria
Survival Challenge is split into two parts, with Tokens earned being wiped between parts 1 & 2, so be sure to exchange them before they’re gone
The Event Catalogue rewards will change from Part 1 to Part 2, with two liveries and three helmets available in each
It’s your choice which order you unlock the items in the Event Catalogue, with Liveries valued costing more than Helmets
There are four event goals per week, each rewarding 800, 1200, 1500, or 2000 Tokens, allowing you to earn a maximum of 5,500 Tokens before these goals reset at the end of the week
There are performance-based Token rewards too. Depending on whether it’s during Part 1 or Part 2, you’ll earn Tokens for criteria such as number of laps completed, how many events you finish, and distance travelled
Survival Tokens cannot be purchased in any way and are only earned by playing the Survival Challenge mode
I’m sure you’re wondering which Special Liveries and Helmets will be available to unlock. Here’s the rundown for each half of Season 4,
