With F1 23 undergoing a recent closed beta test, the game seems to be close to launching, and we’ve got some more details surrounding the racing title. The official F1 23 Champions Edition cover has been revealed, and it features none other than EA Sports Ambassador Max Verstappen.

Here’s the official cover art, as revealed via the EA Sports F1 Twitter account:

Verstappen recently signed with EA Sports, with the announcement of the partnership made last February. As a back-to-back F1 world champion, it was already speculated that Verstappen would show up in a future Formula 1 title, and it seems that he’s made the cover of the game’s Champions Edition.

While cover art was all we got from EA today, there seems to be more to follow on May 3, with a reveal trailer for F1 23 set to go live. You can find the link to the YouTube video premiere here.

Though we’ll likely get an announcement of the release date during the May 3 trailer, prominent leaker billbil-kun has revealed the release date ahead of time, claiming that the game is slated for a June 16 launch. Those who preordered the Champions Edition as well as EA Play members will apparently get early access three days ahead of time on June 13.

As far as leaks go, billbil-kun is fairly accurate, with the leaker regularly revealing game titles for PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineups and similar promotions. He also revealed information related to Hi-Fi RUSH ahead of the game’s sudden release.
