Codemasters Discusses Potential for F1 Games on Nintendo Switch 2

Sure, here’s a rewritten version:

So, there’s this buzz going around. Codemasters, the folks behind those super speedy F1 games, might actually get back into bed with Nintendo—yep, the Switch 2 might just get blessed with some F1 magic. Now, don’t get too excited just yet. It’s all in the early chat phase. F1 25 launching on the new console? Maybe, maybe not. But future games? That could be a wild ride.

Let’s backtrack a bit. Seems like Codemasters has been cranking out these F1 games forever—since 2009 anyway. That’s a long time to keep revving. This year’s gem, F1 25, is set to zoom onto screens on May 30. They’re still ruling the track in terms of racing games, or at least trying to.

Oh, before I forget—the possible Nintendo return? Last time the main series was on a Nintendo console was F1 2011 on the 3DS. That’s like a lifetime ago in gaming years. Sure, there was this kart racing spinoff, F1 Race Stars (kinda cute) on the Wii back in 2012, but still.

And then there’s F1 Manager on the Switch last year. Talk about a plot twist, right? Could the new Switch open more doors? Maybe. But here’s the thing—recently, F1 24 didn’t exactly smash the ratings. It kinda slipped into the “meh” zone, which might make the leap to a new platform a bit of a gamble.

Gavin Cooper, some big shot at Codemasters, dropped hints that they’re trying to figure out if the Switch 2 can handle the F1 vibe. He said something like they need the smart folks to assess it. Sounds important. But hey, without any firm commitments, we’re all left guessing.

So, fingers crossed, we might see Codemasters take a pit stop at Nintendo’s garage soon. Maybe the stars align. I mean, who knows? Gaming’s a funny world.
