Grid Legends online servers shut down September 11 on PlayStation and Xbox
EA is shutting down Grid Legends online servers on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on September 11. Steam and Switch 2 versions are not affected.
EA has confirmed that Grid Legends will lose its online services on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on September 11, 2026. The shutdown covers cross-platform play, online multiplayer, Quick Race, Dynamic Events, and leaderboards — essentially everything that requires a server connection. The single-player campaign, including the live-action Driven to Glory story mode, is expected to remain playable.
The PC version on Steam and the Switch 2 Deluxe Edition — which launched in January 2026 — are not included in the shutdown notice, according to EA’s Online Services Shutdown page as spotted by Delisted Games. EA has not clarified whether the Steam version will be affected at any future date.
This is the last domino in the GRID franchise’s online history on PlayStation and Xbox. Grid 2, Grid Autosport, and Grid (2019) all went offline in 2025. Codemasters made genuinely great racing games across two decades; watching EA quietly retire the whole online catalog in under a year is the kind of thing that should make anyone with a disc copy feel less secure about what they’re actually buying. Grid Legends was never a classic, but it deserved more than four years before the plug got pulled on half its feature set.
