Grid Legends was announced at EA Play Live 2021.[11] It is the fifth video game of the Grid series developed by Codemasters and the first instalment published by Electronic Arts, making this the series' debut on EA's Origin as their main platform, which is also playable on the EA desktop app. Previous entries in the series were only on Steam.[12] In addition to be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms, the game is also set to come to the ninth generation of video game consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for the first time in the franchise.[13] The game was released on February 25, 2022.[14] On January 12, 2023, the game was released for the Meta Quest 2.[15]
The game received a downloadable content pack, as Electronic Arts and Codemasters put out an expansion for this Grid title, including Classic Car-Nage story mode, as it featured Demolition Derby cars and tracks, as well as the new Demolition Derby mode and the Valentin Manzi's presentation cutscenes.
The second downloadable content, named Enduring Sprint, was released on October 25, 2022. It features a new track, Fuji Speedway, the new Endurance mode and its cutscenes that include Lara Carvalho and Yume Tanaka's new teamwork with Seneca Racing, as well as four new cars, such as Autozam AZ-1, Bentley Continental GT3, Bentley Speed 8, and BMW V12 LMR.
The third downloadable content, The Rise of Ravenwest was released on November 17, 2022, as it featured a new track, the Miami circuit from Grid 2 and its cutscenes that include a tell-all interview on the McKane's family in Grid history, as well as new cars, including BMW 320 Turbo Group 5, Plymouth GTX and Corvette C2.
The fourth and final downloadable content, Winter Bash was released on January 27, 2023. It features new Okutama point-to-point drift courses and three new cars, such as Bugatti Bolide, BMW 2002 and a custom drift-tuned SRT Viper GTS, as well as the Ajeet Singh's presentation cutscenes with occasional help from Manzi.
Grid Legends received "generally favorable" reviews for Windows and PlayStation 5[16][17] and "mixed or average" reviews for the Xbox Series X/S version.[18]
IGN gave the game a 7 out of 10, stating, "It’s not obvious at first glance, but Grid Legends is a definite step up from Grid 2019, with a bigger collection of circuits, more race types, and some extremely clever hop-in multiplayer. It’s not a dramatic leap, though, particularly as the reused car roster grows stale and the customisation options tread water."[23] Eurogamer wrote, "There's significant duplication from 2019's series reboot, but the few additions are at least wilder and more specialised than that game's slightly more conservative platter," and praised the multiplayer, story mode, race creator mode, and atmosphere.[28] Both outlets also heavily praised the game's newly unpredictable AI. Push Square gave the game 7 stars out of 10 and praised the core gameplay, number of cars and tracks, accessibility, and well-executed adaptive trigger usage while criticizing the story mode's narrative, unremarkable visuals, and repetitive music.[25] GamesRadar+ gave it 4 stars out of 5 and lauded the tight controls and simcade-style racing while criticizing the "dodgy" AI and disappointing story.[19]
