With a celebrated history in the genre, Codemasters aims to overtake its competitors with Grid Legends and judging by the gameplay, it's on the right track.
Two docked modes, four in handheld.
We really like GRID Legends and welcome its arrival on Nintendo Switch 2. The sad truth is that arcade racing as a genre is in severe decline and beyond Forza Horizon (still mysteriously absent on the Nintendo hybrid) new releases are thin on the ground. So, if you've had your fill of Fusion Fusion, we highly recommend GRID Legends - not least because it's jam-packed with various graphical modes, adapted specifically with the Switch 2 in mind.
GRID Legends comes to Switch 2 in an accomplished port of a racer that feels better on this handheld than ever.
GRID Legends originally released in 2022, appearing across the last generation PS4 and Xbox One, as well as the shinier PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. That immediately puts it in a good spot for the Switch 2, with Nintendo’s newest system sitting somewhere between the two, performing comparably to the PS4 in many scenarios, while tapping into some of the latest techniques like DLSS and ray tracing.
As with GRID Autosport, Feral Interactive has taken the high octane reins from original developer Codemasters. Their approach here is certainly successful, especially because they put the game’s performance and visuals directly within your control.

The hotly anticipated successor to GRID Autosport on mobile, GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition has been confirmed a December release.
Looks generic. Don't know what this guy is talking about
Yeah looks boring af. Not sure what they are going for here. It's clearly not a sim, but it can't hold a candle to arcade racers like wreckfest either. Just a weird tight course semi arcade racer with no damage modeling and weird physics? I think they were trying to make it have a story or something too, which is the last thing I want from a racing game. Also why do sparks look like yellow confetti shooting out of the cars?
Either the video is compressed, or the quality is just bad. Also, there is nothing even remotely exciting about this race. This looks incredibly dead.
Tell me if I'm wrong but isn't it using the same game engine as the first one back in 2008?
