F1 Manager 2022, the brand-new management sim IP from Frontier Developments, is set to race off the starting line and launch onto shelves August 30. It's coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Pre-orders are now live and will net you a ten percent discount, as well as a five-day head start.
