Hinwil, 14th October, 2020 – The Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team will begin their 2020 F1 Esports season tonight as the team look to improve upon their podium finish in 2019.
During the off-season, the team signed one of the world’s leading esports talents in Jarno Opmeer, who finished fourth in his rookie F1 Esports season. Jarno joins Hungarian superstar, Daniel Bereznay, who extended his stay with the team for 2020. Bereznay ended last year in imperious form, signing off with three wins at Spa, Monza and Interlagos, and enters this year’s campaign as one of the favourites for the title.
Dutchman Opmeer arrives into the 2020 season full of confidence after an impressive pre-season campaign: his arrival bolsters the team and gives it a fantastic chance to mount a title challenge. Pro Draft pick Dominik Hofmann completes the roster and will be providing healthy competition to both drivers, as well as assisting with strategy and setup work.
New rules for the 2020 F1 Esports Series will see the introduction of a full qualifying session to mirror the real-life Formula One format, alongside an increase in the race distance from 25% to 35%.
The calendar features 12 rounds, split into four two-day events and including some never-raced-before tracks like Zandvoort and Hanoi. Unlike in previous seasons, and owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the races will take place remotely.
Sky Sports will broadcast the action in Italy, the UK and Germany, the Nethlerlands will be served by Ziggo Sports while the Nordic Entertainement Group channels will provide coverage in Scandinavia and Iceland. The global appeal of the series will be enhanced by deals with ESPN in the United States, SuperSport in Africa and Fox Sports in Latin America and Australia. Fans will also be able to watch the live events on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and Huya.
The Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team squad saw developments off-track as well. James Doherty, one of the largest F1 content creators in the gaming industry, joined the team as Team Manager and will be responsible for the training and preparation of the drivers as well as for covering lead strategist duties during the races.
“We arrive into the 2020 season full of confidence, knowing that we have strengthened the team in the off season,” said Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team Principal Jamie MacLaurin. “Our preparation work has been outstanding and I can’t wait to get the cars on track and get things underway. This feels like the team’s best chance of securing the title, and I wish everyone luck for what will be a frenetic and exciting few months.”
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team Manager James Doherty added: “Having had the experience of competing in the Championship in 2018, I feel that I’m well placed to give the drivers the tools they need to compete at their peak when it matters most. I am looking forward to the challenge and I truly believe we have the most competitive roster on the 2020 grid.”
Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal of Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN, said: “Our F1 Esports programme has been going from strength to strength in recent years and we enter the 2020 season confident we have everything it takes for a shot at the title. From three strong drivers to plenty of depth off-track, we have a solid, professional organisation: I can’t wait for the racing to start.”
Daniel Bereznay said: “The standard of the field in F1 Esports keeps getting stronger and stronger every year and we will need to be at our very best if we want to compete for the title. We have never been better prepared for our assault on the Championship and I can’t wait to get started.”
Jarno Opmeer added: “I am looking to build on a very strong debut year in F1 Esports and my pace during pre season has looked promising. The team have left no stone unturned in preparation and I believe it’s going to be a very exciting few months. The aim is to bring the Championship home to Switzerland!”
Dominik Hofmann said: “Joining this team is an honour for me. To show that I am competitive enough to drive will be incredibly difficult, but I am so determined to assist this team in any way I can to help achieve the F1 Esports championship.”

As gamers, we know how important it is to preserve and respect your gaming legacy. We believe your favourite games and franchises, your progression and achievements, your Xbox One gaming accessories and the friendships and communities you create through gaming should all move with you across generations. We also fundamentally believe that not only should you be able to play all of your games from the past without needing to purchase them again, but they should also look, feel and play better on the next generation of Xbox consoles. Preserving and improving the thousands of games you know and love, or have yet to discover, has been a core objective since the beginning of the backward compatibility program in 2015, and with years of learnings and successes – and over 500,000 hours of gameplay testing across four generations of Xbox in the last year alone getting ready for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S – we couldn’t be more proud of the results you will be able to experience beginning November 10.
Games play best on Xbox Series X and Series S
Backward compatible games run natively on the Xbox Series X and S, running with the full power of the CPU, GPU and SSD. No boost mode, no downclocking, the full power of the consoles for each and every backward compatible game. This means that all titles run at the peak performance that they were originally designed for, with significantly higher performance than their original launch platform, resulting in higher and more steady framerates and rendering at their maximum resolution and visual quality. Backward compatible titles also benefit from significant reductions in load times due to the massive leap in performance from our custom NVME SSD at the heart of the Xbox Velocity Architecture.
Auto HDR for everyone
Modern games often implement high dynamic range (HDR) to improve overall visual quality. HDR allows a game to render a much larger range of brightness values and colours. This gives an extra sense of richness and depth to the image when compared to a standard dynamic range (SDR) image. For example, the light from a flashlight looks much brighter and red flowers look much more vibrant.
However, thousands of Xbox games shipped before HDR was first introduced with Xbox One S, and even for some Xbox One games, developers simply didn’t have the development resources or time to implement HDR. With Xbox Series X and Series S we are introducing a new feature named Auto HDR. Auto HDR automatically adds HDR enhancements to games which only shipped with SDR. Auto HDR enhances the visual quality of an SDR game without changing the original artistic intent of the game. Auto HDR is implemented by the system so developers don’t have to do any work to take advantage of this feature. Also, since Auto HDR is enabled by the console’s hardware, there is absolutely no performance cost to the CPU, GPU or memory and there is no additional latency added ensuring you receive the ultimate gaming experience.
The below images show how Auto HDR can improve the visual quality without changing the overall look of the game. The HDR images are brighter and more colourful only in the naturally expected areas, while the rest of the image retains its original intent.
Amazing innovations for some of the classics
By the time the new Xbox consoles launch this November, the team will have spent well over 500,000 hours of gameplay across the entire backward compatibility catalogue to ensure your experience is the best possible, no matter which game is your favourite. Beyond the improvements all backward compatible games will see due to increased hardware performance, our team of backward compatibility engineers continue to innovate and push the limits of game preservation and enhancement to make your current game library look and play even better, at no additional cost and with no work from developers while still respecting the artistic intent and vision of the original creators.
New technology to double framerates
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S bring next-gen performance to your favourite games. Higher, steadier framerates make games feel smoother, resulting in more immersive gameplay. Many improvements are the result of the custom designed processor that allows compatible games to play and leverage the increased CPU, GPU and memory from the new consoles. In addition however, the backward compatibility team has developed new methods for effectively doubling the framerate on select titles. While not applicable for many titles due to the game’s original physics or animations, these new techniques the team has developed can push game engines to render more quickly for a buttery smooth experience beyond what the original game might have delivered due to the capabilities of the hardware. Fallout 4 framerate, shown below, is effectively doubled from 30fps to 60fps on Xbox Series S, delivering a new way to preserve and enjoy this legendary title.
Enhanced visuals you have to see to believe
On the Xbox One, we were able to provide a curated list of titles that were enhanced for the Xbox One X via the Heutchy method. This allowed titles from Xbox 360 that rendered at 720p and original Xbox games that ran at 360p to play at 4K on Xbox One X, well beyond the capabilities of their original platform. The Heutchy method continues to be used to bring a variety of titles to 1440p on Xbox Series S and 4K on Xbox Series X.
Improved texture filtering is also coming to backward compatible titles on both Xbox Series X and Series S. On Xbox One X, a portion of the catalogue benefited from increased anisotropic filtering, improving image quality of games. On Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, 16x anisotropic filtering has been enabled for nearly all backward compatible titles so you can experience the very best visuals the games have to offer.
Delivering on our promise
The backward compatibility team has been working hard to make all the games you love and remember available to you on Xbox Series X and Series S. Playing the games will be just as easy and magical as it’s always been. Simply insert your favourite backward compatible Xbox One, Xbox 360 or original Xbox disc into your Xbox Series X, install the game, and you’ll be ready to play. Your digital library will instantly appear and ready for download on the console when you sign in. If you’ve already installed your games to an external drive, you can bring that with you to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. This all happens with no additional cost to you. And, with cloud saves, you’ll jump right back in where you left off. For those of you still enjoying Xbox 360, cloud saves will soon be free to all Xbox 360 users, making transferring your favourite games to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S even easier.
Preserving the games of our past is fundamental to our DNA at Xbox and our continued promise to you. Backward compatibility lets you experience your cherished gaming memories again and in new ways. Your favourite games retain everything the original developer intended, while experiencing enhancements and exciting new features. There’s no need to look back, because your games are ready to move forward with you to the next generation of Xbox.
Firaxis has shared a new video highlighting upcoming changes, adjustments and additions coming to Civilization® VI in the October game update, which is scheduled to go live on Thursday, October 22.
In addition to balance and update changes, each game update includes a new feature such as a scenario, game mode or customization. This month’s update includes the Pirates Scenario, as well as several balance adjustments and additional changes based on player feedback.
The Pirates Scenario is a 1-4 player contest for treasure and glory on the high seas. Players will select one of four factions – Dread Pirate, Privateer, Swashbuckler and Hoarder – each with unique abilities that change up their playstyles. In addition to other factions, players will also have to deal with British, Spanish, French and Dutch navies who are determined to send them to Davy Jones’ Locker. The Pirates Scenario features new and updated artwork that adds a tropical feel to the game; it can be played on a unique handcrafted map or choosing a map script that provides a different layout each playthrough. The Firaxis team was deeply inspired by Sid Meier’s Pirates!– fans of the classic game will be thrilled to see how swashbuckling has been adapted for Civilization VI.
Following player feedback, some new adjustments are making their way to Civilization VI. This includes changes to the Recruit Partisans espionage missions, scaling game speed to features that didn’t have them and balance tweaks to the first two New Frontier Pass DLC packs. Full details will be available in patch notes that release alongside the update on October 22.
The October game update is one of many free updates that are a part of the overall content roadmap for Civilization VI, available to anyone who owns the game.
