One of the most important things to make yourF1 24experience enjoyable is finding the right difficulty, but locating the option to adjust it is proving difficult. If you’re like me and struggled to do it, here’s how to change the difficulty level inF1 24.

Selecting the right difficulty inF1 24is super important, and may take a little bit of tweaking to get right. Pick one too easy and you’ll be lapping five seconds faster than your rivals, driving at the front of the pack with no challengers near you. Too hard, and you’ll be watching theF1drivers zoom off into the distance.

When I first openedF1 24, the difficulty was set in the low 30s, which is way too low for me. When I went to settings on the main menu, however, I couldn’t find where to change it. After some fiddling around in menus, I finally figured it out and can share the process with you.

Now, if you went to the settings page in the main menu and couldn’t find it like me, I did discover a workaround. It’s not ideal, but works for now.

It’s unclear if difficulty being missing from the main menu is a style choice or an oversight, but either way, it would be useful for EA Sports to include it there in a future update.
