Can I Run GRID 2?
GRID 2 is an indie strategy game from Hidden Path Entertainment, released in 2014. Hidden Path Entertainment both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. Metacritic places it at 81. Completionists have 65 achievements to work through. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Over 2 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.
