F1 2015, the racing video game from developers and publishers Codemasters, has received a new patch (version 1.06) for the PS3 version. It has promised the same for PC and Xbox One version sooner if not later.
The new patch will add updated car models and liveries to teams like Lotus F1 Team, McLaren Honda, Sahara Force India F1 Team and many others. We can also see various fixes and improvements added to the game.
It has removed the AI and assist restrictions, and has made D-Pad menu more responsive. The update will also adjust the performance of the teams and drivers during the season.
F1 2015 was released in July 2015 featuring a new 'broadcast presentation,' a new game engine, with new game modes like Championship Season, Pro Season, Online Practice Session. It is also the official video game for the 2015 FIA Formula One World Championship allowing to "race like a champion."
