F1 2015 puts players behind the wheel in the official game of the 2015 FIA Formula One World Championship, with a playable 2014 championship also included as bonus content. Its presentation aims to bring race day to life through broadcast-style framing, while a new engine is designed to capture the speed and responsiveness of Formula One cars. The focus is on recreating the sport rather than offering a broader motorsport setting.
Players can pursue a Championship Season or take on the more demanding Pro Season, with a physics-based handling model intended to welcome newcomers as well as experienced racers. An Online Practice Session gives players a place to hone their skills before competing against friends and other rivals in online multiplayer.
The game also positions itself around the 2015 season, describing digital updates intended to keep it aligned with the sport during the year. Together, the championship structure, handling focus and broadcast presentation define F1 2015 as a season-centered Formula One simulation, with the option to race alone or test skills against others online.
