Grid Legends Update 1.06 Patch Notes

EA has released the patch notes for update 1.06 coming to the racing game, Grid Legends. The new update makes improvements to the game’s online mode, career mode, various locations, as well as its performance across all consoles and PC.

Developed by Codemasters, Grid Legends was only released last month and offers players more than 130 tracks to race on, over 100 vehicles, the ability to create custom races, and more. Fans of the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive are in for a treat with this racing title as the game drew a lot of inspiration from the show.
