EA to End Online Services for GRID Legends on Sep 11 2026

Electronic Arts will shut down all online services for the racing game GRID Legends on September 11, 2026, ending multiplayer support for the title just over four years after its initial release. The shutdown affects the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

According to official notices, features requiring an online connection will become unavailable. This includes cross-platform play, online multiplayer modes, Quick Race, Dynamic Events, and leaderboards. Players will retain access to the game's single-player story mode, titled "Driven to Glory," which features live-action cutscenes. The game will remain available for purchase on digital storefronts for the time being, though its future availability is uncertain.

Developed by Codemasters, GRID Legends launched in February 2022 to generally positive reviews, holding an aggregate critic score of 76 out of 100 on Metacritic. The game was offered as part of the PlayStation Plus Essential subscription in 2023 and is included in the EA Play catalog. Despite its solid reception, reports indicate the game's online player base had dwindled in recent times, making finding matches difficult.
