Update 1.05 has officially launched on F1 2021, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this update. Keep in mind that on the PlayStation 5 version of the game, this update is known as 01.005.000. This update is also only currently available on PS5 and PC, with an Xbox version currently in the works. With that aside though, this week’s update looks to bring a heap of bug fixes alongside improvements to DLSS. For those unaware, this feature lets users on the PC version of the game achieve high framerates while getting high resolutions as well. Improvements to this mean higher framerates than before, which is always a plus. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with F1 2021 update 1.05!
