GRID Autosport for iPhone

Fast-paced mobile racing game

GRID Autosport is a premium racing game for mobile. This fast-paced driving simulator is rendered fully in 3D, letting you experience visually astounding cars across various tracks. From race tracks to city streets and picturesque countryside roads, it offers an immersive experience — available from varying perspectives. View your car in a third-perspective view or in a closer camera position.

Despite being initially released in 2019, GRID Autosport easily surpasses younger games in terms of visuals and gameplay, definitely worth the cost. Provided your device is up to the challenge, it runs better than Asphalt Nitro or Need For Speed Most Wanted.

Console-quality racing on mobile

Among racing games, GRID Autosport is better classified as a driving simulator, much like entries in the Gran Turismo franchise. It lacks the variety of supercars and the extent of customization available on Asphalt or NFS. On the plus side, it gives you top-tier graphics that run well at maximum graphics settings. Both the vehicles and the environment feature crisp graphics and high-resolution textures at every turn.

For the gameplay, the accuracy and immersion come at the cost of difficulty. Be ready, especially since the game is not easy to get into. The handling even varies depending on the car you drive, requiring preparation from the player. Whereas most racing games can be played by simply pressing the gas and avoiding obstacles, this actually requires you to learn turning and braking as well.

Lastly, as a paid game, it doesn’t aim to grab cash at every turn. You only pay for it once and you get to enjoy the full game, all downloadable content included. It also keeps you eligible for future updates. Lastly, all its content can get imposing for devices. It requires at least 4 GB of space and the latest operating system. Extended gameplay sessions can cause device heating.

A certified top-tier experience

In terms of immersion and visuals, only a few titles can top what GRID Autosport has to offer. What it lacks in vehicle customization or story, it makes up in its effort to be lifelike — different camera perspectives paired with high-resolution textures everywhere. The gameplay, on the other hand, requires a bit of practice but is definitely rewarding in its own right. Recommended.
