F1 2020: Keep Fighting Foundation

The Keep Fighting Foundation DLC for F1 2020 was developed by Codemasters Birmingham and published by Codemasters. It was released in September 2020 as a tribute to Michael Schumacher and in support of the Keep Fighting Foundation, a non-profit initiative inspired by his legacy. The DLC was made available across all platforms where F1 2020 was released, including PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia. It was a symbolic and charitable addition to the game, designed to raise awareness and celebrate perseverance in the face of adversity.

The DLC included a special in-game livery, race suit, helmet, gloves, and podium emote, all themed around the Keep Fighting Foundation. These items were designed with a distinctive visual style that reflected the foundation’s message of resilience and unity. Players could use the customization items in My Team and multiplayer modes, allowing them to show support for the cause while racing. Though the content was cosmetic, it carried emotional significance for fans of Schumacher and those familiar with the foundation’s mission.

Codemasters announced the DLC through social media and community channels, emphasizing that proceeds would support the foundation’s efforts. The campaign highlighted the importance of the foundation’s work and encouraged players to contribute by purchasing the DLC. The messaging was respectful and celebratory, aligning with the values of the foundation and the spirit of Formula One.

Reception to the DLC was positive, particularly among fans of Michael Schumacher and supporters of charitable initiatives in gaming. Players appreciated the opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause while receiving exclusive in-game items. The tribute was seen as tasteful and well-integrated into the game’s customization system. While the DLC did not add new gameplay features, its symbolic value and charitable intent made it a welcome addition to F1 2020’s post-launch content.
