Codemasters Group Holdings PLC (LON: CDM) has seen its shares rally over 3% today after the game-maker released a much-anticipated F1 2020 video game.
The video game is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia. The F1-simulation game has a score of 91% for Xbox One on the popular website Metacritic.
“We have been overwhelmed with the response from both the media and our players. My Team has been 10 years in the making, and it’s been worth the wait. With the revised F1 2020 season starting last weekend, the stars have aligned, and both the sport and videogame are back in the spotlight where they belong,” said Codemasters chief executive Frank Sagnier.
