Codemasters continue to add fixes and improvements to the latest in the Formula One series with F1 2020 update 1.17 released for the PC, Xbox One and PS4 editions, with the build coming to the Google Stadia shortly.
A number of issues should now be resolved, including having issues starting the game with a steering wheel plugged in, and having tyre temperatures at absolute zero if you rejoined a session – which makes life a bit tricky.
It also coincides with a big sale across the F1 franchise on Steam, with F1 2020 currently 70% off until March 29th, 2021, meaning it costs £13.49 rather than the usual £44.99. And all the previous F1 games dating back to 2012 are 75% off, meaning you can get the 2012 or 2014 edition for £1.19 each, the 2016 version for £2.49, F1 2017 for £3.74, the 2018 game for £4.99, or F1 2019 for £7.49. There are also discounts on bundles and DLC.
