On Android, 26 specific devices are listed (including Pixels back to the Pixel 2 and Samsung Galaxy from the S8), along with the requirements of Android 9 and 3.9 GB of free space. The game is demanding, and so developer Feral lists requirements for the game to be officially supported. Grid Autosport is available for Android ( Google Play) and iOS ( App Store). Here’s hoping the market responds accordingly, rather than balking at a ten-quid price tag, and instead choosing freemium tat.
Only very rarely does the odd crack appear: the lack of mirrors and detailed dashboards (flaws that aren’t unique to mobile, note) racing series not saving should you want to exit part way through longish load times – at least for mobile your device turning into a small portable heater if you play for an extended period of time.īut the bottom line is Grid Autosport is a console-gaming experience on a phone – a ‘proper’ full-on racer that’s jaw-dropping in execution, and that, importantly, remains an awful lot of fun. Everything’s available from day one, whether you fancy delving into career mode, or spending a lunch hour getting smashy at a demolition derby. There’s no messing about with grinding to unlock sections and modes, nor stupid in-game currencies. This isn’t a throwaway title you’ll delete tomorrow, but a game that rewards perseverance. And it’s thrilling when you finally nail a skill, such as driving slippery open-top cars, blazing past a rival at the finish line. With all driving aids gone, you’ll spin into the gravel, and smack into walls, while AI drivers blaze past, having been transformed into a terrifying combination of Ayrton Senna, Richard Petty, Michael Schumacher, and Penelope Pitstop.Ī smarter move for anyone but experienced simulation racer veterans is to experiment with the custom difficulty option, gradually removing driving aids as you grow in confidence, mastering circuits and cars alike.
For a harsh lesson in your current ability, set the difficulty level to maximum. Get a few wins under your belt, and you can then properly start flexing your racing muscles. On recent hardware, there’s the odd frame-rate glitch, but mostly the only thing that reminds you you’re not playing on a PC or console is the size of the display, and the fact you’re holding it in your mitts – assuming you haven’t opted for a tablet/controller combo.
