What you need to know

- GRID Autosport was previously launched as a single player racing experience for iOS back in 2017.
- If you're interesting in participating you just need to fill out this sign up form.
Codemasters and Feral Interactive have once again taken to Twitter to recruit a second group of Android beta testers interested in playing GRID Autosport's multiplayer mode ahead of its long awaited release.
The last beta was announced in April and was held from May to July, allowing testers to race against three other drivers in online races. The matchmaking system took its sweet during the first beta but when you actually got into a race it was by far the best racing sim I've played on mobile.

Developed by Codemasters Racing and Feral Interactive, GRID has been in development for Android since 2017 and seems finally set to arrive on Android devices sometime in 2019 or early 2020. The game has already been released on iOS where it has garnered rave reviews even with a $10 cost of entry. By all accounts this is one of those mobile games that tries to offer the full experience of its genre without imposing gaming limitations or exploitive loot boxes or whatever else.
