'GRID Autosport' (ALL) Comes to Nintendo Switch In 2019 - Trailer

GRID Autosport challenges players to become pro-racers, mastering motorsport's most exciting cars on the world's most thrilling circuits, from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the city streets of Barcelona.

GRID Autosport aims to move the series back in line as a more authentic racing game with a more authentic handling model, five distinct disciplines (Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuner and Street), and 22 locations (primarily circuit based) with a combined route list that totals over 100.

GRID Autosport will bring alive the experience of becoming a professional racing driver in a new world of contemporary and classic motorsport. Drawing in spirit from classic Codemasters titles such as the TOCA series, developed in conjunction with community feedback and retaining the core GRID focus of ‘being all about the race’, gamers will experience a world of breadth, of depth, of intensity and of course, of the excitement that only racing cars can deliver.

Racing alongside a teammate, players must overcome key rivals and satisfy team sponsors in ferocious races where every pass and position counts. In GRID Autosport s huge career, gamers will specialise in their favourite racing discipline or conquer them all; players will feel the aggression of the pack in Touring Cars, manage tyre wear and race into the night in Endurance events, race Open-Wheel cars with precision, show car control in Tuner events and react on the fly in Street races.

Each unique category features series dedicated to different classes, including Touring Cars, Hypercars, Endurance GT Cars, Prototypes, Single-Seaters, Super Modified vehicles, Drift cars and many, many more. Bursting with content, GRID Autosport features over 100 routes across 22 incredible locations and the world’s most exciting contemporary and classic high-performance racing cars to collect, tune and upgrade. 

"GRID Autosport's AAA production values and deep yet accessible gameplay will make it a fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch," said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. "Following its success on iOS, we're thrilled to bring it to Switch players."

GRID Autosport will be the first full racing simulator to come to Nintendo Switch when it launches in 2019.

GRID Autosport s features and tone have been shaped through consultation with the GRID community, professional racing drivers and the experts from AUTOSPORT magazine. This includes the return of an in-car view and the most authentic handling in a GRID game yet. Multiplayer racing is extended by RaceNet, Codemasters’ free million member strong online community portal, which will deliver new challenges every week from launch and sees the introduction of all-new RaceNet Racing Clubs for online, clan-style team competition. Party modes, Demolition Derby and competitive split-screen modes all complement the game’s extensive career mode and expansive core online game.

GRID Autosport delivers the most amount of content in the series yet and a truly authentic motorsport feel, but does not lose sight of what makes a GRID game a GRID game - it’s all about the race.

Currently available on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, GRID Autosport is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2019.
