F1 Manager 2023 Removed From PlayStation Store

Frontier Developments’ F1 Manager 2023 was removed from sale on the PlayStation Store for PS5 and PS4 without prior notice. The title was taken down sometime in the past 24 to 48 hours, and copies already purchased remain available in owners’ console libraries.

The game was listed and discounted during the PlayStation Store’s Summer Sale before being pulled, with the first round of discounts scheduled to expire today. Frontier has not provided an explanation for the early removal. The delisting appears to be permanent rather than a temporary storefront change.

Players who already own F1 Manager 2023 can continue to download and play the game from their digital libraries. PS4 purchasers should still be able to claim the PS5 upgrade at no extra cost. New purchases are no longer available through the PlayStation storefront.

F1 Manager 2023 launched in August 2023. The PS5 version has a Metacritic average score of 76 out of 100. Frontier’s official overview states: “The intense world of Formula 1 comes alive for a new season in F1 Manager 2023. 23 races, six F1 Sprint events, new cars, new circuits including the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, new drivers, new challenges… Your legacy begins here. Relive thrilling races and key moments from the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship.”

The series’ follow-up, F1 Manager 2024, is currently listed at a 75% discount on the PlayStation Store. The delisting of the 2023 edition removes the option for new players to purchase last year’s entry directly from Sony’s storefront while leaving existing owners able to access their copies.
