GRID Multiplayer Discontinued on PS3 and PC

17.06.2011
If you're a player of Codemasters' excellent multi-discipline racer on the PC or the PS3, you may have been confronted with an error message when trying to sign into multiplayer recently. Here's an from Ian Webster, community manager over at the Codies.

After three years of service, 2008's Race Driver: GRID's online play service has been discontinued for the PS3 and PC editions of the game. This follows the decision by a third party provider to decline the offer of an extended contract to continue online play on these platforms. Race Driver: GRID for Xbox 360 is not affected. We thank fans for their support and apologise to those affected by the end of this service.

That's that, then. On the plus side, DiRT 3, also from Codemasters, is out and is , while a sequel to GRID will be screeching into view next year. The team is planning on alternating DiRT and GRID releases over the next few years.
