Grid is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters for Microsoft Windows, Stadia, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is the tenth title in the TOCA series.[1] Initially scheduled for release on 13 September 2019,[2] its release date was delayed, and released on 11 October 2019.[3]

Gameplay

Nemesis System

One of the key mechanics is the Nemesis System where AI drivers will become aggressive towards the player if they hit them too hard or too often, as part of this there are 400 unique AI drivers, each with their own racing style.[4] Fernando Alonso appears in this game as a "Racing Consultant", with the player facing him in the single-player campaign's final event.[5]

The game features in-game commentary from Alex from the United States as a play-by-play, along with former 2-time World Time Attack Champion and a regular top level touring car driver from Australia, named Kristen as an analyst during the race.

Development

Grid was announced on 21 May 2019.[2] On 7 July 2019 it was announced that Grid would be delayed by several weeks from its initial release date, with the game eventually releasing on 11 October 2019.
