GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Races onto Nintendo Switch 2 with Enhanced Features and Full DLC

GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition, the acclaimed racing title developed by Codemasters, is set to make its way to the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

Feral Interactive, renowned for its expertise in porting AAA games to new platforms, announced that it is developing the Deluxe Edition specifically for Nintendo's next-generation hybrid console.

This marks another significant milestone for Feral Interactive, following their successful adaptation of GRID Autosport for the original Nintendo Switch. Originally released in 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, GRID Legends garnered praise for its robust racing mechanics and immersive single-player and multiplayer experiences.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version promises to build upon this foundation, utilizing the upgraded hardware to deliver enhanced visuals and fluid gameplay.

According to Feral Interactive, players can look forward to "pin-sharp visuals, excellent performance, and a vast selection of cars ready to compete across 10 adrenaline-fueled motorsport disciplines in 24 visually stunning global locations." A standout feature of the GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is the inclusion of all previously released downloadable content.

This comprehensive package introduces new game modes such as Classic Car-Nage destruction derby, Drift and Endurance challenges, exclusive Career and Story events, as well as additional vehicles and tracks to broaden the racing experience. Addressing the Nintendo community in a recent Reddit AMA, Feral Interactive highlighted significant improvements to in-game performance and customization.

The studio revealed that the Switch 2 version will expand on settings introduced in their prior Switch releases, offering both 'Graphics' and 'Performance' presets in docked and handheld modes.

Players can expect frame rates up to 60 frames per second in Performance mode, while additional 'Balanced' and 'Battery Saver' presets are tailored for handheld play.

This flexibility allows users to fine-tune their experience based on their preferred balance of visual fidelity and battery efficiency. In terms of visual effects, Feral Interactive emphasized that Nintendo Switch 2 players can expect the same dynamic environmental and special effects that define the GRID Legends experience.

All fireworks, tire smoke, sparks, and engine backfire effects will be faithfully retained, ensuring parity with mobile and other major console versions. GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition is scheduled for a worldwide digital release via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026, with a launch price of £24.99 ($39.99).

With its combination of technical enhancements, complete DLC content, and gameplay depth, GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition aims to set a new standard for racing games on Nintendo's next-generation console.
