GRID online multiplayer for PS3 and PC discontinued

Codemasters has announced that online multiplayer for the PS3 and PC versions of GRID: Race Driver has been discontinued after three years.

The Xbox 360 version remains unaffected, however. Just the keyboard-mouse and Triple has been affected.

"After three years of service, 2008’s Race Driver: GRID's online play service has been discontinued for the PS3 and PC editions of the game," said Codies community boss Ian Webster.

"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 Xbox 360 is not affected. We thank fans for their support and apologise to those affected by the end of this service."

GRID launched in 2008 for 360, PC and PS3. GRID 2 is on its way for a 2012 launch.
