F1 2015 official patch

[VELOCIPEDE]

Hi everyone, unfortunately we’ve found an issue during testing that means we’re not going to be able to release the PS4 patch ahead of this weekend’s Grand Prix as we had originally planned. Our cut off to submit to Sony was 11am GMT and despite our best efforts we’ve not been able to solve the problem to our satisfaction. We’re disappointed to miss the deadline we had set ourselves but ultimately releasing a patch that introduces new problems is not acceptable.

The Xbox One patch release should not be affected by this delay.

We thank you for your continued patience and we will update you once we have further news.
