F1 Manager 2022 isn’t even two months old, and Frontier is already dropping support for the management simulator, saying the game’s next patch will be its last major update before staff begin work on upcoming F1 Manager projects.
As spotted by Eurogamer, Frontier announced that it was dropping support for F1 Manager 2022 over on Reddit, much to the chagrin of current players.
Frontier ending support for F1 Manager 2022 after just two months

“This next update for F1 Manager 2022 will be the last significant update that addresses player-reported feedback, or suggested changes and additions,” Frontier said. “Any potential updates following this would be minor patches that do not noticeably affect gameplay.
“To ensure upcoming F1 Manager projects realise their potential and meet the expectations of both our team and our community, the development team’s focus must move fully onto projects beyond F1 Manager 2022, after this upcoming update.”
This last major update includes visual updates to car models for the official F1 teams and other optimisations, addresses “fuel usage issues during Qualifying sessions,” and “amends instances of incorrect ‘Estimated Race Time’ calculations.”
Naturally, players aren’t happy with the news. The F1 Manager 2022 subreddit is filled with disappointed posts from players who say they regret buying the game and that there are “game-breaking” issues that need to be resolved.
“What an absolute joke, shame on Frontier, and shame on you and your team,” one user on Reddit wrote. “Your product still contains game-breaking bugs, and you think it’s appropriate to just throw in the towel and move on? Here’s a tip: If you don’t have time to fix the game you already released before moving on to next year’s version, then you have absolutely no business pursuing a yearly release model. And then you have the audacity to come in here and make this announcement as if it’s some sort of good news? Time to celebrate, guys, we’re making it official, we’ve ripped you off! I am completely and utterly disgusted.”
“I mean, I can understand that you’re trying to focus on F1 Manager 2023 now to make it better than 2022, but only 2 months of updates? And the updates even stop before the end of the F1 season? Damn, that’s rough,” another user wrote.
What are your thoughts on this? Are you disappointed with Frontiers’s decision? Let us know.
