F1 2020 – First Look At The Splitscreen Feature

Codemasters have released a new preview video of their upcoming F1 2020 Formula One title, showing off the split screen feature.

A staple of many 80ies and early 90ies racing games, split screen was a traditional first take on multiplayer back when network connections or playing online were complete unknowns, allowing players to compete against each other in front of the same stream.

The feature has fallen out of fashion in recent years as few titles include a split-screen functionality as multiplayer habits have shifted considerably since it’s heyday, but it’s nice to see this feature make a return.

Coming to PCs and current-get gaming consoles on July 10, the release of F1 2020 will likely coincide with the start of the shortened real-life Formula One season.

Aside from including all cars, tracks & drivers from the upcoming Formula One season, F1 2020 will also bring 16 historical F1 cars going back to the early 90s, the Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition will include a further four historical cars from the German???s iconic career.

F1 2020 is available for pre-order here.
