GRID Legends Update V1.06 Released

Released at the end of February, the latest in the long-running series from Codemasters gets some tweaks and improvements with GRID Legends Update V1.06 released.

There’s a sizeable list of fixes and changes, but the development team have already acknowledged that an excessive engine braking bug will need to be addressed in the next patch, along with ABXY buttons not working if you’re using a Logitech G920 on an Xbox, although unplugging the shifter should work as a temporary fix. And issues with license check failures, accessing online servers and game freezes on the splash screen will be solved for Origin /EA App users in a seperate patch on March 11th, 2022.
