F1 22 is the first official Formula 1 game to feature VR, and this is a major gameplay feature addition. For the first time, gamers can replicate a similar experience to the helmet cam footage that we’ve seen throughout the 2022 Formula 1 season.

VR allows gamers to look around and past the halo column, and provides an extremely immersive experience. Find out more about VR in F1 22 in our ultimate F1 22 guide here.

This gameplay features wet and dry races around Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring in Austria. It showcases a few differences between racing in virtual reality compared to on a traditional monitor. Elements such as the difficulty in seeing the start lights, through to the levels of spray that can be seen from the cockpit when racing F1 22 in the rain.

VR gameplay in F1 22 looks incredibly impressive and is certainly something that we can’t wait to try out.
