EA Play members can pick up a 5,000 XP Boost for F1 25 by launching the game and checking their in-game mailbox from December 1 to December 30, according to the Steam news post. Clicking redeem will add the boost directly to the game’s Podium Pass so players can push through tiers faster.
The boost is presented as a timed EA Play member reward rather than a season-long giveaway, so members should claim it within the four week window. Podium Pass in F1 25 uses XP to advance through reward tiers, and an added 5,000 XP will shave off the time needed to reach the next unlocks. Players who do not have EA Play can still pick up F1 25 on Steam while the store page lists a sale.
EA has been placing game-specific perks behind subscription services and store promotions recently; for another example of how EA titles are appearing in subscription programs, check out our write-up of EA Sports FC 25 joining Game Pass Ultimate, which outlines the perks and additions that arrived with that rollout.
