Nintendo Switch 2 owners are about to get a major boost to their racing libraries, as a critically acclaimed title is confirmed for release on the new console later this month.
Release Date and Pricing Details
Feral Interactive announced on Thursday, January 15, 2026, that GRID Legends Deluxe Edition will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2. Gamers can get behind the wheel from January 29, 2026, with the game priced at £24.99. This arrival comes roughly four years after the game's initial debut on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles in 2022.
Pre-orders for the digital version are already live on the Nintendo eShop, allowing fans to secure their copy ahead of the late-January launch window.
What's Included in the Deluxe Edition?
The Switch 2 port is not a simple port, but a comprehensive package. The Deluxe Edition comes bundled with all post-launch downloadable content (DLC) at no extra cost. This significant value-add includes:
- New career events and story missions.
- Additional cars to expand your garage.
- Extra tracks to test your skills on.
This edition mirrors the mobile Deluxe Edition, ensuring Switch 2 players receive the complete GRID Legends experience from day one.
Enhanced Performance for Nintendo's Hardware
Acting as the follow-up to GRID Autosport on the original Switch, GRID Legends promises to leverage the Switch 2's improved capabilities. Developers have confirmed the game will feature pin-sharp visuals supported by a suite of graphics and performance modes.
These modes are designed to cater to different play styles, including balanced options for TV play and battery-saving optimisations for handheld gaming. Players can expect to tackle high-speed circuits across a variety of gameplay modes such as Drift, Endurance, and the chaotic Car-Nage.
The original 2022 release was praised for its tight handling, immersive tracks, and polished visuals, earning it a solid Metacritic score of 76. Now, after a long wait, Nintendo racing enthusiasts can finally experience this cinematic career mode and thrilling action on the latest hardware.
