Don’t have a recent Snapdragon flagship phone? Then you can’t play this game
October 8, 2024
What if you don’t have a recent Snapdragon flagship phone?
It’s very rare to see game developers target flagship phone processors only, as this significantly limits the number of people who can buy your game. Nevertheless, GRID Legends is a port of a 2022 console and PC title, so this restriction is a technical one. But we hope optimizations will eventually enable some mid-range phones to run the game.
It’s also interesting to note that our phones running the latest MediaTek, Google Tensor, and Samsung Exynos processors aren’t unsupported. We’re guessing it was easier for developer Codemasters to focus on Snapdragon silicon for now. That’s particularly disappointing if you’ve got an Exynos Galaxy S24 or a Google Pixel 9 phone.
In any event, GRID Legends will retail for .49 when it eventually launches. That’s a steep drop from the current price on consoles. This port also features all downloadable content from the console versions. So if you’re looking for a graphically advanced game to push your high-end Snapdragon phone, this is for you.
