Grid Legends will have graphics options on Nintendo Switch 2, NSO GameCube controller support

Feral Interactive has shared more details about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 version of Grid Legends, revealing plans for graphical modes and GameCube controller support.

Not only will there be specific modes for docked play, but also handheld use. When playing on TV, modes will be available for frame rate / graphical preference. Then in handheld mode, there’ll be “Balanced” and “Battery Saver” presets.

Feral Interactive said the following during a recent Reddit AMA:

In terms of in-game options, we’ve expanded on the well-received model we used in GRID Autosport for Switch 1. GRID Legends will have both ‘Graphics’ and ‘Performance’ presets for docked and handheld play (where you can expect 30fps and up to 60fps respectively), as well as dedicated ‘Balanced’ and ‘Battery Saver’ presets exclusively for handheld. So you can choose your preferred mix of frame rate and fidelity.

As for graphical effects, Switch 2 will retain all the fireworks, tire smoke, sparks and backfire you’ve come to expect from mobile & other console versions.

Also in the AMA, Feral confirmed that Grid Legends will support the GameCube controller made for Nintendo Switch Online. Expect there to be analog trigger support for acceleration and brake.

Grid Legends will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Get a first look at the port here.
