GRID Autosport coming to Switch in 2019

From Gematsu: "GRID Autosport is coming to Switch via the Nintendo eShop in 2019, publisher Codemasters announced.

The racing simulator first launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in June 2014, followed by Mac and Linux in December 2015, and iOS in November 2017. The Switch version is being handled by Feral Interactive, the studio that ported the game to iOS."

It's going to be a bit wonky at first due to the triggers, but add in a throttle/brake control stick option like older games would allow, and it'll be a decent replacement. Hopefully this means that future Codemasters titles in the DiRT and GRID series come to Switch. Portable DiRT Rally would be fantastic.

Yesssss would love Dirt on a switch... I hate the fact that the triggers aren't pressure sensitive however... Maybe with pro controller, but I prefer playing on portable mode.

Yep, I used to play with right analog stick for acc. and braking and it worked well.

Btw, is it me or is that trailer looking and sounding kinda bland? The Switch (& Codemasters) can do much better than that.

From what I played of Grid Autosport, it was a pretty solid game. I love arcadey racers but it didn't suit the GRID franchise (Grid 2).

Gearclub unlimited 2 being developed exclusively for Switch and this have me Intrigued as I love racing Sims, but more than happy with Forza.

GRID Autosport and other racing games have compatibility issues on Switch 2

Nintendo is investigating Switch 2 backwards compatibility issues for several racing games, including GRID Autosport, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 and WRC 9.

Not entirely true.

I had this issue with Grid Autosport, it crashed about 5 times in a row at one of the beginning logos. I finally tried another game, then tried Grid again... and it worked!

So it's not working well, but it eventually does work. I did a handful of races no problem once I got the game going. So yea, hoping for a patch soon bc it is a pretty good racer to have handheld!
