Following the commercial success of Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, Frontier Developments signed an exclusive licensing deal to release four Formula One management video games.[1] It marked the first motorsport title for Frontier Developments.[2] The series was released at an annual pace.[3]
The first video game of the series, F1 Manager 2022, was released in 2022.[4] It marked the first Formula One licensed management game since F1 Manager of EA Sports in 2000.[5] In the second entry, F1 Manager 2023, the game engine was updated from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5.[6] The latest entry, F1 Manager 2024, was released in July 2024.[7] This entry introduced "Create A Team" mode, which is similar to the "My Team" feature of the F1 series by Codemasters and EA Sports, that allows players to create their own team.[8] The game was released on Nintendo Switch for the first time.[9]
After initially planning to release F1 Manager 2025, the game was reportedly cancelled in late 2024 due to poor sales of previous games which eventually led to the discontinuation of the series as a whole.[10][11]
