Codemasters is, sadly, the latest developer to be added to the list of those who won't be adding trophy support to their already released titles.
On the official GRID forums an administrator has posted saying that they're "currently not planning to restrospectively support PSN trophies - it;s not a trivial thing to add to a game" [sic].
Though this is disappointing, it's not too unexpected. Third party games are the least likely to be patched in. With Criterion showing their contemporaries, hopefully more will decide to rake in the goodwill of gamers by following suit.

The Humble Codemasters Racing ReBundle 2020 just launched today. It features games like F1 2019, Dirt Rally 2.0, GRID, and more.
This month’s Humble Choice features twelve games. The headliners for June are GRID Ultimate Edition, Supraland, and Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice. New games are added to Humble Choice on the first Friday of every month.
Was surprised to see Hellblade again, they gave it away last year with Humble Monthly
Thank you Codemasters, I' ll remember this next time ...
Even though it is a great game, im not interested in GRID.
I thanks Criterion for being a fantastic developer. I still got Burnout Paradise and still love it.
bummer
Im happy i never bought this game , going to get Drakes Fortune tho just to try the trophies out
Grid is cool but for now it's going to take more resources to revisit old titles to patch up. developers wont really do this because Sony just didn't think this was needed. XBL made it mandate to have these in for major releases. Sony needs to now Make sure that all Games in the future support this, and their first party Titles should have no choice LOL!!! second parties can get away with it, like Insomniac because they have are independent, they'd be better off asking Sony for a check to pay for the added resource and effort it will Take. So for now. i wont be upset if old games dont support trophies. they really dont have to. it's the new games that need it. and i'm sure those devs that choose to make PS3 the lead Platform will support the trophies for past games like Criterion. free Rad and Digital Extremes, and a few others.
This feature just got out. for the games that came out last year. I think Sony is asking a bit much from devs of third party it takes more money to go back and patch a game. simply put i dont think past games need it just the ones coming out now. Sony i think is asking 3rd parties to jump through hoops to support their back catalog with this.
they just need to make it mandate for the future just like MS did with live from launch, and also make sure it's a smooth transition as this comes along.
with that said, bring on the new games with the trophies. I'll play those.
