Codie's community man Ian Webster said on their community forum: "After three years of service, 2008s Race Driver: GRIDs online play service has been discontinued for the PS3 and PC editions of the game This follows the decision by a third party provider to decline the offer of an extended contract to continue online play on these platforms. Race Driver: GRID for 360 is not affected. We thank fans for their support and apologise to those affected by the end of this service."

Racedriver: GRID 2 is mooted to be in the works for a 2012 release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
