My honest review of GRID Legends
I have been a fan of all the games... Remember playing GRID 1 back in 08 when it just came out but it was a demo from a gaming magazine... After that, I played every title that came out. GRID 2 is by far my favorite.(The less appreciated one) So, let me get into the review. (PC) First of all, great job on the handling. Its sharp, responsible and is pretty fun. Although, I have to point out that the trophy trucks handle terribly. I don`t remember a corner where I haven`t touched a wall or ramp where I haven`t nearly flipped the thing. When cornering (I am using a wheel) I feel like the truck is struggling to keep steering in the direction needed and keeps pulling me straight instead of cornering. The events are fun but the tracks are very repetitive. Drifting in the story mode is there like once, which is stupid considering that you brought it back. And instead of that, there are multiple, boring Elimination races that take forever to be over... 20+ drivers and there is only one driver being eliminated for most of the race...come on... The story mode is just meh... My main issue here is Tanaka. I hate her more than Nathan from Ravenwest. You join a team that has been struggling to the point where it is on the edge of going bankrupt, you help them a lot, you save them from doom multiple times, only for your progress to be completely dismissed by making Tanaka the real hero of the team... You can count with your fingers how many times Driver 22 gets any real recognition, while Tanaka is not only mentioned once but throughout the entire freaking story. She goes away mid the entire thing and comes back with a prosthetic leg, still as the "Team leader" and at the end she still says "I am better" after you literally bring the win for Seneca... If you are going to make a story for a game like this, think it through. I have no problem with showing the success of a certain character but please do not overshadow us, players with that... Take a look at Need for Speed Heat for an example. Anna is the main female character in the game and has a lot of focus put on her and her family (brother) and at any point in the game, I have not felt like my character is being kicked to the curb and put her in the spotlight. At the end of the game, you are happy for her because she was struggling and at the end showed what she is capable of and gets her dad`s Camaro... You take a character like that and put her in a story worth 6 hours... The career mode is just there. I like it but its not as immersive as it should have been. You give your teammate the signal to push and 90% of the time he just doesn`t respond like he should, regardless of those upgrades... From 2nd place to 5th, 6th he drops faster than the speed of light... In the story mode, Manzi is a good driver, scripted NPC while in the Career mode he is dumb asf... The game never really crashed but it does from time to time get stuck in an infinite loading.... The grid icon in the lower left corner is lagging and at that moment I know that I am screwed because the way you made the game, does not allow me to continue from my last event and instead, I have to redo the entire championship from the very first event... Then, the menu controls are so weird... I still can`t get used to them. A lot of times, the car livery I select and make is not applied, even tho I confirm it. And then, have to scroll through all the liveries again and find it. Overall, the game is fun but not good enough. 6.5/10
Online Pass availability on Dirt and GRID games, server shutting down *UPDATED*
Hello fellow EA community. I write this post due to several issues regarding these Codemasters "legacy" games. Recently it was known that various Dirt and GRID games are going to be shut down on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, including: Dirt 3, Grid 2, Grid Autosport and Dirt Showdown on March 2026. But this comes with two problems: 1st problem: The Online Passes or also known as "VIP Passes", are no longer available on those storefronts. Well, ofc, the Xbox Live Marketplace for Xbox 360 is already gone, so unfortunately is no longer there. But on PlayStation Store, they're not. And they haven't been for a long time since Codemasters (when still independent prior to EA acquisition) delisted them. 2nd problem: The codes on physical copies, including brand new, sealed copies of the game were made expired, meaning that they're useless nowadays, even if it had a expiration date of 2027 to put an example. Similar to the massive shut down of the old F1 Codemasters games back in 2023-2024, Codemasters support stated persistently that the online passes couldn't be sold again because of "licensing issues". The thing, is the online pass are just a single use token that grants users access to online features. They don't grant access to Ferraris or Citroën cars, which is mistakenly thought so by Codemasters support guys. The "licensed content with issues" would be those DLC vehicles or circuits, but not a online pass. I mean come on. This is a post made with the intention of asking Codemasters or EA if they can reinstate, at least for one last time those online passes onto the PlayStation Store, or make these codes on brand new copies redeemable and possible to use. I expect the same "licensing issues" answer, or that "PlayStation 3 Store infrastructure is old and this content cannot be added again". Hoping a sooner answer or clearance about this information. UPDATE, 23 September 2025: Hello again, I come to edit this thread because now EA, on the name of hypochrisy has fast forwarded the closure of the servers to november of this year. The original meant dates for March 2026 have been forwarded to November 2025. This is absolutely stupid. If you stated that they were closing on March 2026, then THAT'S THE DATE THEY MUST CLOSE. But instead, seemingly because I'm the only guy asking for the online passes availability, you probably said "Yeah, this guy's asking for things we aren't gonna add again, let's move the closure dates for the sake of money and let the PS3/Xbox 360 die already". It's a shame that NOBODY from Codemasters or EA it's able to reply to one single discussion where a user KINDLY ASKS FOR A ONLINE SERVICE THAT SEEMS YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT. At this point just add the online passes back again to the PlayStation Store on PS3 and stop being like that, stop making online trophies/achievements unobtainable because of single-use online access tokens that cannot be get anymore, honestly, because this is hypochrisy at level 99 percent. Just because you thought, "Oh, March 16 2026 it's too much time", yeah sure. Listen to the community once for God's sake.

Unable to download DLCs in Ultimate Edition
I recently bought new, sealed copy of Grid Ultimate Edition and redeemed code and there is no way to download DLCs other than VIP status and Aston Martin. I know game was delisted from the store but really? Is there any way to download the DLCs and make it 100% trophies?
GRID Legends Progression numbers don't add up
Hello, wonder if this is just me but I completed all career events to 100% including team sponsor, Gauntlet etc but the numbers are just not adding up. Open Wheels 25/29 Electrics 25/36 Specials 42/55. I own all DLCs and completed all story mode races and have all the gold trophy next to each race and the green tick box is also ticked. Anyone else seeing this as well? I'm playing on PC via Steam. Thanks in advance.
Impulse triggers with Xbox S/X controller
I don't have any feedback on the triggers with an Xbox S/X controller when using the throttle and brakes triggers. I have the feedback+rumble option ON. I have rumble on the controller but none on the impulse triggers. Other games like F1 2023, Forza Horizon or Forza Motorsports you feel the locking brakes and accelerating on the triggers. Is this normal in the game? Are the Xbox controller impulse triggers not supported? I played the game both on PC with the Game Pass and Steam. Thanks!
Grid legends progress reset
The game decided to remove all my sponsor and car-nage progress, that i really do not want to do again. I noticed it removed also some achievements i made, so i suppose the sync failed and overwrote the local file. Can this please be solved? The attachment is my save file
