v1.16 Patch Notes
Graphics/Visuals
- Updated sponsors on the Williams, Haas, and McLaren cars.
The Williams car now features Globant and Mercado Libre logos, the Haas car has been updated to add Toyota Gazoo Racing and Orion 180 branding, and the Darktrace logos on the McLaren have been recoloured.
- Fixed an issue which in some instances caused graphical issues for people with certain Anti-Aliasing options and Dynamic Resolution Enabled (PC Only)
Following the v1.16 update, options relating to Anti-Aliasing, DLSS, FSR, and/or Dynamic Resolution may have been reset. Be sure to check the in-game Graphics settings to ensure that these options are to your liking.
- Added support for XeSS 2, which will be enabled on supporting hardware with an upcoming driver update from Intel (PC Only)
When using compatible hardware, F1® 24 will support higher frame rates and smoother gameplay using XeSS Frame Generation (XeSS-FG) through AI-based frame interpolation. When paired with Xe Low Latency (XeLL), this reduces input delay for a more immersive experience.
- The visual quality of Ray Traced reflections on the interior of the cockpit has been improved (PS5® Pro Only)
- Fixed an issue which applied too much engine heat haze when spectating an AI during a replay
- Added a couple of additional updates to the Las Vegas environment
Miscellaneous
- Added the Player Hub option to the Main Menu
The Player Hub is where players can check Podium Pass, Store, Friends List, Mail, and Super License. This has been added to the Main Menu screen and will show a yellow notification marker when there’s something new to view. The Player Hub can still be accessed when in other areas of the game, by pressing the corresponding button shown in the top right corner of the screen.
- AI Difficulty between 101-110 has been increased to give experienced players a harder challenge
Following feedback from the community, an adjustment has been made to add an extra challenge for those playing at the highest difficulty levels. This change results in around a one tenth decrease in lap time for those competing against 110 AI compared to pre-patch performance. This difference varies slightly depending on the circuit you are racing on.

The following changes were added previously.
Highlights
- Rebalanced the Medium Traction Control setting
