Codemasters have announced that online multiplayer for their 2008 racer GRID has been discontinued on PS3 and PC. The Xbox 360 version has not 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 Codemasters community boss Ian Webster over on the Codies forums.

“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 2 is out next year.
