Holy cow, Codemasters has absolutely crushed it with their technical deep dive into F1 25's upgraded PSSR implementation — I was reading through Mark Roberts' EA Sports blog post and honestly lost about twenty minutes just absorbing every detail! The team (especially Technical Producer Si Lumb) walked us through the whole process of getting enhanced PSSR ready alongside the June 3 launch, building on the foundation they established when F1 24 first got its PS5 Pro Enhanced badge at launch day. What's genuinely impressive here is that this isn't just a simple toggle — Sony made upgrading to their new system incredibly straightforward for Codemasters, and including it in Season Pack was an easy call because of how much visual polish PSSR brings to the table across the board.
The PS5 Pro upgrades are seriously jaw-dropping when you look at what's under the hood: we're talking locked 60fps Quality mode featuring ray traced reflections AND dynamic diffuse global illumination combined with full ray traced ambient light — this combination is delivering noticeably sharper images that will have everyone rethinking whether they've been playing F1 in HD! Performance mode still hits those gorgeous 120Hz frames for anyone blessed enough to own compatible displays, and the spectacle continues all the way up through their 8K "resolution" mode (yes, I'm laughing at my TV too) — what's most exciting though is how every single enhancement has been purposefully paired with Madring, which isn't just another new track but literally built from the ground up by Codemasters' team specifically designed to showcase these technologies in their absolute prime.
Beyond all that eye candy (and let me tell you I'm already imagining myself on those high-speed runs through this brand-new street circuit), there's so much more going into the 2026 Season Pack than visual polish — we're talking updated FIA rules and regulations, new teams Audi AND Cadillac with refreshed driver lineups up to date in real time including their fully customized team management features inside My Team mode which gets seriously expanded for this year. Active aerodynamics paired brilliantly alongside Overtake mode is going to fundamentally change how tactical our racing feels compared to previous years' campaigns, while Career and My Team modes both expand into something that's genuinely next-level progression content — players can now literally build their own racing legacy OR become the 12th team on an already growing grid depending on what kind of challenge you're craving. If we haven't picked up F1 25 yet or simply want everything included from day one (plus Braking Point chapter three in a fully revamped package), there's also the F1 26: Season Edition available — launch date is June 3 globally, and honestly if I'm being honest this whole season pack upgrade combined with PSSR feels like it might just be THE reason to finally pull the trigger on PS5 Pro after all these years of waiting!
