Get ready to celebrate the great, with the Michael Schumacher edition of F1 2020
When F1 2020 races into stores this July, gamers will have the chance to pick up the special Michael Schumacher Edition, will celebrate one of the greatest F1 drivers in the 70 years the sport has been going on.
The F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher Edition, launching with three days early access, also comes with exclusive themed car liveries and driver customisation items, including a unique podium celebration.
Players who purchase either F1 2020 Seventy or Deluxe Schumacher Edition will have access to the Ferrari F2004. The car, which brought Michael his record-breaking seventh World Championship, a real fan favourite since being introduced to the franchise back in F1 2017, has now been updated with #1 added to the nosecone and his name embossed on the headrest.
"As part of the 70th anniversary of F1®, it's fitting to celebrate the most successful World Champion of all time," said Lee Mather, F1® Franchise Game Director at Codemasters. "We are equally excited to finally bring the Jordan 191 and Benetton B194 to the F1® series as both have been long-requested by our community, alongside two more of his iconic cars."
Players will also be able to drive four of his most iconic vehicles from the 90s and 2000s.
1991: Jordan 191 – The car that launched Michael's career. The emerald green car was first driven at the 1991 Belgium Grand Prix
1994: Benetton B194 – The season Michael won his first World Championship, winning six of the first seven races
1995: Benetton B195 – In a class of its own, it brought Michael his second and Benetton's first and only World Championship
2000: Ferrari F1-2000 – The car delivered 10 pole positions, 10 race victories and secured Ferrari its first driver's World Championship since 1979
The game will release on July 7 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. A release on Google Stadia is also set to happen, though as we don’t have it here, it is a moot point.
