Frontier Developments has announced that F1 Manager 2024 will be released on Nintendo Switch next month.
The officially licensed Formula 1 management game comes to the portable home console for the first time, promising the chance to “experience the ultimate F1 management simulation experience with complete feature parity to other platforms, including the powerful livery and logo creation tools in the brand new Create A Team mode.”
You can choose to take the lead at one of the ten official F1 constructors or, new for 2024, your own created team, you will build your legacy both on and off the track in your efforts to achieve success across multiple seasons.
Choosing to create your own constructor will let you select your team’s starting conditions to set your level of challenge, continuing to bring your racing vision to life with expansive logo and livery creation tools.
After the lights go out, you must use commands to manage each driver’s race which are communicated through more than 70,000 official team radio lines from the real broadcast alongside the commentary team of Sky Sports F1 pairing David Croft and Karun Chandhok.
Success will require you to react to changing track conditions and race incidents, looking to put a well-timed strategy into action in the hope of achieving a podium finish. With the chance to enjoy every race from broadcast-style camera angles in real-time, you can accelerate their progress to 16x speed and react to key decisions or simulate them entirely.
At your team’s headquarters, you will then continue to plot your route to glory. Every decision that you make matters, whether that be hiring the personnel needed to develop race-winning cars or negotiating with sponsors and balancing your team’s finances.
The Mentality system has been introduced in F1 Manager 2024, which will present “deeper management considerations.” Signing a star-studded line-up may help push your team forward, but favouring one driver over another may leave them unhappy and susceptible to a poaching attempt by a rival team.
F1 Manager 2024 will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 23 July 2024.
