In terms of the DLC, they confirmed that the game would not charge for new tracks released after launch, however, new cars and new careers (which would include things such as liveries, rewards, unlocks, and more) would be paid DLC. With the reboot, the development team intended to follow in the footsteps of the first game in offering a motorsport racing sim experience that is also accessible and open to casual audiences instead of just hardcore racing game enthusiasts.Ĭodemasters also confirmed that GRID would have no microtransactions. While the first game offered an accessible racing sim experience, the second game was deemed too casual, while GRID Autosport went in the opposite direction and opted for authenticity instead of accessibility.
The developers decided to reboot the GRID series rather than making a fourth GRID title because they felt, based on feedback from fans, that the series had been indecisive on personality throughout its history. GRID was officially unveiled by Codemasters in May of 2019 with a release date of September 13 for the year, however the publisher later announced in June that the release date had been pushed back by a month to October 11. It is the tenth game in the TOCA series, the fourth GRID title, and a reboot of the GRID subseries. GRID is a racing game developed and published by Codemasters.
