Moving on to graphics, the PS5 is as basic as it gets with three options for HDR toggle, Brightness adjust, and a 120 Hz toggle. This gives you a limited feeling of connection to the track, but the PS5 seemed to do a better job with more subtle effects in both the controller and the triggers. GRID Legends does offer up some rumble effects not to be confused with actual force feedback. Using my Xbox Elite II controller offered up a more similar experience to playing on the PS5, and I did enjoy being able to customize my four paddles to act as paddle shifters and issuing teammate orders. Speaking of gas pedals, the PC version supports the same variety of racing wheel setups likely more since the PS5 is kind of picky, but my aging G27 wheel worked just fine. Playing on the PS5 is a fast and unencumbered experience, while the PC will have you tapping your gas pedal during lengthy loads. An early example is the epilepsy warning that appears when the game is doing its initial load 24 seconds on PC and 3 seconds on PS5. Nothing on the PS5 takes longer than five second to load while the PC can take 10-20 seconds or more. My SSD in the PC is fast but no comparison for the M.2 NVMe drive on the PS5. Everything on the PC takes much longer to load from the opening splash screens to the individual race events once you are finally in the game. Occupying 50+ GB of space on the PC, GRID Legends does tip the scales in its favor in some areas while faltering in others and the first noticeable difference is in load times. Any dreams of fancy ray-traced reflections or shadows are dashed. You’ll likely figure that out if you look at the Steam recommended specs which suggest a GTX1080 or RX590 card. Even stacking up against other racing games like Forza Horizon 5, Gran Turismo 7, and even Codemasters own DIRT 5, this game does seem a bit stuck in time. Sadly, GRID Legends is not a current gen exclusive on console good news for those still stuck with their PS4 and Xbox One consoles, but bad news for those looking for a generational leap in quality. Obviously, you can play GRID Legends on lesser, more affordable PC’s, but your experience will scale accordingly. Considering the pros and cons of both formats it is impressive what Sony can do for a sixth of the price. I only mention price because we’re comparing to a console that costs $400-500 assuming you can find one. As you are about to find out, there isn’t much difference.įor this review I was playing on an i9-9900 with 16mb RAM, an EVGA RTX3080 card, and a Samsung 860 Pro 1TB drive a system that cost $3200 when bought back in early 2019 and later upgraded with the $800 video card in November of 2020.
