GRID Legends Update V2.0 Adds Special Events and New Weather

May 19, 2022 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

The first major changes have arrived as GRID Legends update V2.0 adds Special Events and new weather to the racing game first released in February. The Codemasters title has received some tweaks and improvements in the months since, but now it gets some new challenges with unique rewards to take on each week and month.

As well as potentially unlocking something for completing the new special event challenges, you’ll also be able to see how you compare on global leaderboards, with exta events available if you own the GRID Legends Deluxe Edition, or you’re racing via EA Play.

But more noticeable will be the new weather that can be selected via the Race Creator, and will be coming to other modes in the future. Your visibility will be hampered by thick fog, and at Dubai, Sydney, Bathurst and Crescent Valley, there’s also dust conditions, with sand impacting your vision and the handling of your car.
