With yesterday’s announcement from Frontier Developments that the next update from F1 Manager 2022 will be the “last significant” patch that addresses player-reported feedback, it seems the studio has miscommunicated what it meant.

In an email sent to MP1st, Frontier Developments has clarified their statement saying that while they are not going to push out new features, the studio will continue to support F1 Manager 2022 with title updates.

It looks like there are some crossed wires within Frontier in relation to F1 Manager 2022.

To be crystal clear: we will continue to support F1 Manager 2022, with multiple updates currently in the pipeline, focused on addressing the most important topics raised by the community.

This continues with our upcoming update, which includes a number of changes and improvements, including resolving issues around Estimated Race Time calculations and fuel usage in Qualifying sessions, as well as additional updates, where required, focusing solely on improving your experience and addressing more player reports.

Yesterday’s post was to explain that the addition of any new significant gameplay features for F1 Manager 2022 requested by players would not be possible, but this was not clear.

Everyone on the F1 Manager 2022 team remains focused on further improving the game, and your feedback is the driving force behind that. Thank you for your support, and we’ll be in touch with a status update as soon as possible

While this sounds nice and all, players on the game’s subreddit are NOT happy, with multiple people stating that Frontier is backpedalling after the backlash, and have highlighted the studio’s announcement as “proof” of this:

We’re not going to pour fuel into the finger-pointing here, but the community has a point, though the same can be said that Frontier’s initial statement were just misunderstood. At the very least, F1 Manager 2022 players have more fixes to look forward to in the foreseeable future.
