GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition is set to make its debut on Nintendo Switch 2, as officially announced at the close of last year.
Developed by Feral Interactive, this highly anticipated racing title will expand the GRID franchise's reach to Nintendo's upcoming hybrid console, continuing the series' presence across major gaming platforms.
While GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition has already been recognized for its technical accomplishments and engaging gameplay, new insights reveal the extent of customization and compatibility players can expect on the Switch 2. In a recent discussion hosted on Reddit, representatives from Feral Interactive provided further details regarding graphics and performance settings featured in this upcoming Switch 2 release.
According to the development team, GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition will offer players a selection of display presets tailored for both handheld and docked play modes. "GRID Legends will be equipped with ‘Graphics’ and ‘Performance’ modes for both docked and handheld configurations, allowing users to prioritize visual fidelity at 30 frames per second or opt for smoother performance of up to 60 frames per second," Feral Interactive shared in their official communication.
In addition, two dedicated settings—'Balanced' and 'Battery Saver'—will be exclusively available in handheld mode, letting players find their ideal blend between battery conservation and gaming experience. On the visual effects front, Feral Interactive confirmed that the Switch 2 version preserves signature graphical touches, including fireworks, tire smoke, sparks, and realistic backfire—all elements that fans expect from GRID titles on both mobile and other console versions. A notable enhancement for Nintendo fans is the confirmed support for the Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) variant of the GameCube controller.
Feral Interactive stated, "Yes—GRID Legends will support the NSO version of the GameCube controller, with fully analog trigger support for throttle and brake.
This functionality has been thoroughly tested and verified." This marks a significant feature for purists and longtime Nintendo players seeking authentic control schemes. GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition continues to position itself as a premium offering for racing game enthusiasts on Nintendo hardware.
With its robust mode selection, retention of visual effects, and expanded controller support, it underscores Feral Interactive's commitment to delivering a high-quality port.
While an official release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version remains 'coming soon,' players can expect a comprehensive experience upon launch, both on traditional controllers and via the uniquely familiar GameCube layout.
Further coverage and official updates can be found in the announcement post available at Nintendo Life.
