The game will launch around the Monaco GP on May 31 for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. EA has also announced a new loyalty program for a limited time. Owners dating back to F1 2021 will receive a 15% discount when they pre-order F1 24 Champions Edition.

F1 24 Champions Edition
A second wave of new season liveries are slated to be coming towards the end of April. Pre-ordering F1 24 Champions Edition, however, will bring valuable items connected directly to F1 24 at launch.

This consists of resources for both single and multiplayer gameplay events. Three days of early access is also granted in this version starting on May 28. Pre-orders calso comes with one bonus VIP Podium Pass. The Standard Edition pre-order includes 5,000 Pitcoin and an F1 World Starter Pack. You can watch the reveal trailerhere.
With the official Formula 1 season starting up in the coming weeks as the sport has just completed testing, EA SPORTS Ambassador and two-time defending world champion Max Verstappen looks poised to continue his dominance of the sport. EA and Codemasters have done an excellent job in recent releases with updating the season ratings and mirroring how the drivers either improve or regress throughout the season.
The release date of May 31 will be the earliest the game has ever released but should provide a good idea of just how well each driver or constructor is performing by that point.
