Guys, why do you removed the old F1 games (F1 2010 - F1 2019) from steam and consoles? They are so cool for so many players of the F1 Community. I only have the games on xbox but I want to switch on pc but I cannot buy them. I really love the new games, especially with ea as I think the games are getting even better now. But for the nostalgic it's really cool to also play the old f1 games. Not only the one from codies but also the old ea F1 games (unfortunately I don't have the very old games anymore). Is there any option to get them back to steam? Theres nothing beneficial to remove them in the perspective of the players.

"Some" it's not a clarification and "some" like f1 2018 2019 2020 2021 run just fine on today's hardware and OS.

I play on PC and Steam and drivers were the usual problem, main issue was their compatibility with Win 10.I also had a problem where T150 wheel setup had been "forgotten" between game restarts so I had to set it up for each game play.Playing F1 2016 onwards, I haven't experienced any issue so far.

Agreed.I think Codemasters / EA assume it will force us to buy the latest versions instead, as they are the only ones available.But it seems more likely to me that there are many people out there who would/could NEVER spend £50+, but would still be willing to pay 15 or 25 for an older version.On top of that, it's pretty clear that those who can afford to buy the latest version are usually the ones who buy it EVERY year anyway, so again, no sales lost there.And yes, I know that older games sometimes cease to work with new hardware, but I am still playing the F1 games back to F1 2012, so it's pretty lame to remove them when they still function. Maybe they are just too lazy to keep 'housekeeping' them to keep them running, but each time they remove one, they are removing the history of the car shapes, rules, circuits and drivers from the collection.

They have recently even removed f1 21 from the ps5 store not sure why. Anyway I managed to get f1 2020 for £2.00 from cash converters the reason I went with 20 is I have good memories from it and is one of the best reviewed.

Kind of you to post that, thanks, I already managed to find a brand new DVD version of F1 2020 for £25.00, so hopefully it will be intact with unused code. 😃But F1 2013 is a no go - I won't be paying the sky high prices that are being charged for the rare remaining unused codes.

Yes thanks, unfortunately it's the pc version I want. I usually buy Steam versions but I missed 2020. But I'm assuming a used pc dvd would not work, unless someone knows different.

@antonmorse yeah I have a ps5 so I found quite a lot of good bargains from places like music magpie and cash converters and cex. Em I just had a look they have f1 2013 on cdkeys.com for £4.69 on pc if that is what you have.

@antonmorseI used to buy games on G2A. They often sell Steam codes for discounted prices and they always worked on Steam when entered manually.
However, I never tried it for a game that wasn't in Steam store. So pls consider yourself warned.

Thanks, unfortunately, cdkeys and all others have listed it at a cheap price for a long time but it's permanently sold out.

CEX online store seems to have a copy available:

It isn't very cheap though :/
It depends on how badly you want it 😉

Haha, it just occurs to me that I could even just about buy a used PS3 console cheap on Ebay, and a used PS3 version of F1 2013, for less than the price of a Steam code!

There are also PS3 emulators for PC if you have a CD/DVD drive in your PC/laptop
