- Grid Legends promises to blend high-speed racing with behind-the-scenes drama - 22 July 2021
Grid Legends is a new racing game from Codemasters unveiled today at EA Play that promises to blend "thrilling motorsport action" with a documentary-style story that puts players in the midst of a dramatic battle for the Grid World Championship... Read more.
- Grid for Stadia has a 40 car mode that 'isn't possible with other hardware' - 12 November 2019
The list of Google Stadia launch games was revealed earlier this week, and while Codemasters' Grid reboot won't be among them, it's still expected to launch this year. When it does, it'll come with a new multiplayer mode unavailable on PC or consoles, boasting up to 40 cars on track at the same time. The reason this won't be coming to PC? Because Stadia's technology is the only way to make it feasible. GRID development director Mark Green indicated as much in a recent interview with WCCFTech . Speaking on the differences between developing for Stadia and more conventional platforms, Green singled out the technology's streaming nous. "Perhaps the area with the biggest difference was the streaming, but also the ability of Stadia to talk to other Stadia so quickly transforms some ideas around multiplayer – for example developing a whole new mode fo…
- GRID review - 16 October 2019
After the precise simulation of F1 2019 and the outright terror of the Dirt Rally games, GRID sees Codemasters promise a return to the arcade joys of its beloved 2008 racer. Here, slightly mis-timing a turn isn’t going to ruin your race, and taking the lead from the back of the pack is not just viable within three laps but encouraged. GRID is about enjoying the fantasy of being a racing driver rather than recreating the reality of it. It’s a promise partially delivered. On the track, GRID is frequently thrilling, less about pedal to the metal and more metal to the other metal, as you shunt and shoulder your way through tightly packed crowds of aggressive and occasionally unhinged AI drivers. Yet off the track, GRID is lacking in features and, in some areas, conviction, with several half-baked ideas that merited deeper exploration. Initially, you might wonder what there is…
- Grid gets a new gameplay trailer following October delay - 10 July 2019
Last week Codemasters delayed its forthcoming Grid instalment to October, in order to spend more time marketing the game . So in the meantime we'll have to make do with marketing footage, and above you'll find embedded the latest artefact: a one minute video depicting racing cars, racing around racing courses, with each vying for the sought after first place. This next instalment is looking to be a beast: it'll feature GT, Touring, Stoc, Muscle and Super-Modified cars, in addition to unconfirmed others. It'll be the first Grid since Grid Autosport, which released back in 2014 and which, by the way, is also releasing for Android some time this year. As for the new Grid, it'll release October 11.
- Grid is delayed until October so Codemasters can promote it more - 3 July 2019
Codemasters has tapped the brakes on the new Grid racing game it revealed to the world back in May. Initially slated to come off the line in September, the studio announced today that it's been pushed back to October 11 —although in an unusual twist, the delay apparently doesn't have anything to do with the state of the game's development.  "With Grid receiving multiple nominations and awards at this year’s E3 event in Los Angeles, including being named ‘Best Racing Game’ by Game Informer and DualShockers, the change has been made to give added exposure to a game we’re hugely excited about," Codemasters explained. "With a little more than three months until launch, our Grid and Codemasters channels will be revealing more information and gameplay and big announcements, with more major news coming In the next couple of days." Codemast…
- A new Grid racing game is coming in September - 21 May 2019
As racing games go, Grid is good: Grid 2 earned an 82/100 review score in 2013 and Grid Autosport got 86/100 a year later for delivering "magnificent racing stemming from a refinement of Grid 1s greatness." And then, for whatever reason, that was it for the series—until today, when developer Codemasters announced that another one is on the way. Drivers in the new Grid will take GT, Touring, Stoc, Muscle, Super-Modified, and other car types through multiple modes on circuit tracks, ovals, and out on the streets. Damage modeling will impact the car's performance and handling, and too much contact with one racer will make them "a nemesis who will stop at nothing to get their revenge in the race"— Mozu take the wheel!  Past Grid games have been detailed and authentic, but also managed to maintain an easygoing level of accessibility, which is what I really appreciate…
- GOG bids goodbye to Grid tomorrow - 30 December 2016
The outstanding Codemasters racing sim Grid is on sale at GOG (as Race Driver: Grid ) for a mere $3, which while not as good a deal as the recent Humble freebie is still awfully cheap. But if you're tempted by the price, you'll want to move on it quickly, because the game is scheduled to be removed from GOG's lineup at 6 pm ET on December 31.  GOG didn't provide a specific reason for Grid's removal, but confirmed in an email that it's being pulled because of expiring licenses. It's unfortunate, but it happens from time to time: The Fallout catalog was removed at the end of 2013, and Duke Nukem and Descent were pulled in 2015. The Fallout games have since been returned, and it's possible that Grid will eventually make a comeback too; on the other hand, Duke and Descent are still MIA, so you might not want to hold your breath.  However it…
- Get Grid for free from the Humble Store - 22 December 2016
The Codemasters racing sim Grid is an older game (it came out in 2008), but a very good one, too. And for the next couple of days, it's also free on the Humble Store . The price, you will notice, is now $0.00, and in case there was any doubt the big green button beside it says plainly, "Get it free!"  Click that, follow the instructions, and in short order you'll be presented with a Steam code. Nip over to Steam, activate it, and faster than you can say, "The Humble Store is also having a Codemasters sale , and god bless us, everyone" you've got Grid in your library.  Two points to be aware of: First, the free offer is only good for the next slightly-less-than-two-days, which by my estimate puts the deadline at 1 pm ET on December 24. And second, the code itself must be redeemed by the end of the month, so when you get it, be sure to use it. Enjoy! Some onl…

- You Can Now Rent PC Games Over The Internet - 25 January 2011
Here's a novel concept: digital delivery store Direct2Drive is trialling an offer whereby PC gamers can download and rent a game. It works like this: you download the entire game from D2D, and pay $5 for five hours of playtime. If at the end of that time you want to buy the game, you pay the difference from its retail price. We're unsure as to what happens if you decline that offer - presumably the game is "locked" - but we'll check with D2D to find out. Neat idea. Sadly, only four games are currently being offered as part of the deal (Silent Hill: Homecoming, Grid, FEAR and Divinity 2), all of them older games that you should be able to buy in full for not much more than the renting price, especially if competitor Steam is having a sale. Apply it to recent, full-price games, though, and this becomes a great idea. An asking price of $40-50 for a PC game can be steep if it doesn't have a…
