Grid Autosport

GRID Autosport is a fantastic high-quality singleplayer racing game developed by Codemasters but ported to Android and iOS by Feral Interactive.

Truly a crown jewel of the TOCA series, it is no wonder this game continues its reign five years after it was initially released. Perfectly adapted for each platform it conquered, GRID Autosport Android continues the Codemasters’ legacy and marks another successful port. The controls, visuals, gameplay, and the atmosphere are all left intact and excellently adapted for mobile gameplay. This is surely a delight for all mobile gamers who are fans of the racing supreme.

GRID Autosport is almost in a class of its own on the Nintendo Switch. The game is one of the best looking Switch games and is the best racing simulator experience available on the console. While games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Crash Team Racing lead the system’s kart racing options–GRID Autosport has shot to the top of the list if you want to race in real-world environments. The level of care that Feral has put into the Switch version is apparent with even more options to come. If you’re in the market for a racing sim to take on-the-go, you can’t do any better than GRID Autosport.

Overall though, it’s an incredibly impressive port of an already impressive game. The lengths Feral Interactive went to make sure this game lived up to the Switch’s full potential are incredibly impressive and set for a bar that won’t be easily cleared anytime soon. Here’s hoping Codemasters has a few more ports like this coming down the line, Dirt Rally and F1 on Switch would be a dream.

It may lack multiplayer out of the gate and be half a decade old at this point, but it’s still a solid racer nonetheless that’s a worthy addition to the hybrid convenience of the Nintendo Switch.

So many of Grid Autosport’s strengths, from its racing style to the focus on single-player gameplay, fit perfectly on the Nintendo Switch. Upon playing this port, it makes a ton of sense as to why Codemasters ported over the five-year-old game rather than one of its more recent offerings. It isn’t a classic by any means, but it is full of content and is a racing game that everybody can enjoy.
