Electronic Arts' EA Sports division started the series with F1 2000. Six games were released between 2000 and 2003, when Image Space Incorporated and Visual Science took charge of the PC and console versions respectively. Intelligent Games was also involved to produce F1 Manager for Microsoft Windows in 2000.
In May 2008, Codemasters acquired the license after the end of Sony's own Formula One video game series, developing the Ego engine. They released each game in the series at an annual pace, with the first game being available on Wii, PlayStation Portable and iOS in 2009. Feral Interactive and Sumo Digital were responsible for platform transplantation at different points. Subsequent sequels were released on contemporary Sony and Microsoft consoles and computers. Following the acquisition by Electronic Arts in 2021, F1 2019 and F1 2020 were made available on EA Play.
Since EA acquired Codemasters in 2021, EA Sports has returned to publish the series' new installments, beginning with F1 2021. This title was the first in the series available for the ninth generation of video game consoles. Since F1 2019, Formula 2 has been represented in the series; on launch, the previous year's lineup is presented, with a post-launch update adding the current season.
