News GRID Autosport adds multiplayer and wheel support on Switch
News
Game: GRID Autosport
Platform: PC, PS3, Switch, XB360
Publisher: Codemasters, Feral Interactive
Release Date: 19/09/2019 (Switch)
GRID Autosport is fun racing game, I particularly enjoy the intensity of the racing along with a great selection of courses. However, it always appears to cause a somewhat emotional response from fans, who either love it or hate it. Indeed, the positivity for the brand seems to have fallen away in recent times despite being one of the better racing games on the market and arguably among the finest racing games on the Nintendo Switch.
As a player who plays almost exclusively in handheld mode, I haven’t missed out on the multiplayer but it’s arrival is a welcome addition. The update also including compatibility with the Labo and the HORI Pro Deluxe/Pro Mini wheels, both adding additional forms of enjoyment. You could argue that this compatibility should have been in the launch product, yet I’ve found GRID games are often better suited to controller play. But my quibbles aside, I’m a big fan of GRID Autosport and it’s great to see Feral Interactive are still hard at work on various fixes and improvements.
Take on all-comers in online multiplayer, now available for GRID Autosport on Nintendo Switch.
This update also adds support for Nintendo Labo and the HORI Pro Deluxe/Pro Mini wheels.
Update now or buy from the Nintendo eShop for £29.99/$34.99/34,99 €: https://t.co/6A6qQtbgWz pic.twitter.com/uUXKP2LqdP

Netcode seems reasonably stable so far, though not many lobbies around at the moment. Hopefully Demo Derby will see some love in the coming weeks! Shame there are no weekly Racenet events like the original versions had, will be more of a slog to earn online car upgrades etc. without them.
Yeah, it’s going to be tough creating that critical mass of players this far after launch without some organised activity.
