GRID Legends iOS Performance Review - Another AAA Mobile Miracle!

[@MrMacRight]

Feral responded: "You are correct! GRID Legends is a GPU intensive game and the GPU in the iPad mini has one less core (5 cores instead of 6). The screen is also approximately 10% larger than the iPhone Pro (in terms of pixels), so these factors combined mean the iPad mini hardware, unfortunately, isn't capable of supporting performance mode."

No 120 fps option, yeah, I’m outta here, all mobile games should have 120 fps support, for futureproofing, even if current devices can’t hit it, or you have to play at low settings and low resolution, I prefer smoothness over graphics, as do many other people.

[@Everyday-man]

Feral Interative are one of the few Developers that still care about its customers

[@sunsetgaming2498]

Not making the iOS and Mac versions compatible is a huge bummer. Other developers have successfully done so

[@Everyday-man]

@@sunsetgaming2498 I agree there, but I am referring to actually bringing real games over to IOS and Mac, HandyGames and Playdigious ( NorthGard, Dead Cells, Little Nightmares ) and Even CapCom. It’s great to see some love to IOS instead of just trash pay to win “ Free to Play Games”

[@christians.989]

Such nonsense. 😂

[@henrik5299]

​@@sunsetgaming2498Other developers also fucked up controls so ... Grid legends is wonderfully adapted to mobile devices .

[@Aiden07_YT]

They care about there mobile players not switch though. Their blood money switch port is 30fps… a PS2 game.

great video! I appreciate how thorough and detailed it is. 60fps on iPad looks incredible.

Buddy, ram on android needs to be 12/16 gb specifically because you have issues otherwise… Ios is actually optimized, just literally get an older iphone

[@mingistech]

I play the hell out of Grid Legends on my MacBook Pro with a G29 Racing Wheel. Will be picking this up for sure.

[@zptaco]

Thank you for your reporting, this is one of the main channels I rely on to know about these games

[@rubenjorge13]

If there's one thing I hate about Feral's ports, is that they don't give us a PC-like graphics options, which is really a shame. We can't push the graphics and performance of the game with just 3 graphics options... I truly don't understand why they do this giving the amount of different devices that there are available on iOS and Android, so at least for me a PC-like graphics option is the obvious choice on mobile games...

[@KicksonAcapulco13-no5rd]

These are mobile devices; games are optimized for numerous factors and simply cannot offer such options. Feral puts a lot of attention and effort into optimization for mobile devices, but here the optimization needs to be done differently, taking into various things like passive cooling and throttling. Believe me, Feral has considered the graphical factors, and it’s no coincidence that they don’t provide as many graphical options - there’s simply no need for them. Due to the nature of mobile devices, you have to squeeze as much as you can out of the graphics, but not too much, not to overheat mobile devices.

[@Hu3BRPlace]

On android you can edit the "preferences" config file located on android/data, i did it to uncap the 30FPS limit on "graphics" preset

[@rubenjorge13]

@@Hu3BRPlace oooh, i'm curious now, how was the performance with graphics Mode fps uncapped?

[@Hu3BRPlace]

@rubenjorge13 depends on the scenario, on my base S23 it runs at 35~45FPS, 8 elite should run it at locked 60

[@KicksonAcapulco13-no5rd]

@@rubenjorge13 Bear in mind it will increase the smartphone’s temperature (it comes at the cost of something, in the long run, throttling may occur, for example). Chasing FPS is not a priority on mobile devices; it’s a trade-off between power, capability, and the device’s temperature. Looking for visuals and FPS, it’s probably better to play on a powerful PC.

[@kevinmckenna5682]

Great review. You are the best.

[@siyakhanzimande4817]

Looks amazing on M4 iPad Pro

[@draaa_k]

fyi: you can change the graphics as you like by changing the preferences like grid autosport

[@MrMacRight]

Not on iOS

[@RajnCorVlogs]

I am playing this game on my S24 Ultra & Tab S9. Plays amazingly smooth.

[@75and1]

This is a masterpiece and a new standard for iOS gaming

[@rooley3718]

I seriously find this so interesting it's crazy I have a 15 Pro Max only issue I am having with games and tbf anything remotely more challenging to run is the temperature it gets ridiculously hot and I know it will just degrade my battery like crazy I am already at 90% battery health with 310 cycles. I wish there was a way to just actively cool the phone but these cooling pads need to be plugged in at all times. I get super paranoid about the heat of my phone I may just be crazy.

[@arkhalis3682]

The problem is the iPhone 15 series uses cheaper batteries across the board that are rated for 800 cycles only.

[@rooley3718]

@ Just looked it up it’s rated for 1000 cycles still I’m pretty confident in the fact that the hot area is the chip (obviously) cause you can feel where the heat is but it gets a lot warmer than other iPhone models so battery degradation is a lot faster for these phones kinda sucks

[@Tung-ChenTsai]

Too sad this game does not share the purchase with the macOS version. I have to purchase twice.😢

[@sunsetgaming2498]

A deal-breaker. I was hoping they would support cross play

[@christiancrow]

Looks about the same as ps3 mode on- and the iPad is a mix between PS4 graphics , brings back nostalgia seeing those graphics , looks like the original grid on PS3 nostalgia because of the demo I played as a kid

[@christiancrow]

For VR q2 grid is jaggy mainly, they should have gone for the original game first the smallest game... For the conversion and glad to see more developers using A and M chips Q2 version is like the performance and battery saver mode mixed together on iPhone 16 , q2 is quest 2

[@jimmyzbike]

Been really enjoying this game on my new m4 macmini. I had no idea this was available for iPhone. Is cross saving supported? Oh. Yeah, like 3 minutes later, nope.

[@thesensiblestreamer2958]

Controls are everything in this game.

[@AdamJayTechnoElectro]

Ouch on the lack of adaptive trigger support.

[@NSB4]

Hey @MrMacRight I want to enable the metal FPS HUD that you have for testing FPS, GPU usage and stuff. I watched one of you old videos about misakaX and how to enable it. But that video is marked as Unlisted now. Is there another method available? please advise on how you're able to enable this FPS meter on iOS. I figured out on how to enable it on Mac but can't do it on iOS, I even turned on the developer mode.

[@Jwatchdizzledrip3003]

Dec 16, 2024 Thanks for the video Stewie. Can’t wait for this game to release here in the states…

0:55 I don't think Alien Isolation supports Metal 3 or it wouldn't have support for older models like iPhone 6s otherwise

[@kevinmckenna5682]

It actually looks like FSR 1 to me. Lots of shimmer that I don't see on my ROG Ally when playing this game.

[@MrMacRight]

Feral updated it recently to support Metal 3 so it can support new devices better.

[@sunsetgaming2498]

Wow, the lack of compatibility between the Mac and iOS version is a huge bummer

[@burneraccount617]

It's so strange, Apple could release a gaming console with minimal effort. Take Mac Mini with the the biggest SOC, put Apple TV on it, done. They already have a footstep in gaming with Arcade. I really don't see, why they don't do it.

[@crestofhonor2349]

Apple could not. They are not associated with gaming and they'd be facing a massive uphill battle against Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, and Valve. It's not just about hardware. Apple ultimately isn't that interested in gaming but just want to help those who do want to game on their platform. You're also forgetting about pricing which is important too. You can't take the biggest SoC and shove it in there as there's cost associated and consoles are designed to sell for cheap

Doesn't work with a PS4 joypad even using their add-in, no rumble. By the way, what would be the equivalent power needed in a PC to run this game (I'm getting rid of my Mini M4)?

[@BrianKirkley-e8o]

It actually works on any device that supports iOS 17 or later

[@MrMacRight]

No it doesn't. Unfortunately, the App Store does not block unsupported devices from purchasing the game, and the statement “Works on this device” is based on the iOS requirement only, which is potentially misleading.
