The festive season may have ended, but that doesn't stop GRID Legends from going all in on winter racing, though.
8 new story events featured in the event featuring familiar faces from the GRID story. Predictably, most of these events will take place in snowy surroundings.
Furthermore, 3 new vehicle are added to GRID Legends car roster:
- SRT Viper GTS-R
- BMW 2002 TII Race Car - "Drift Tuned"
- Bugatti Bolide
The update further includes 5 new Okutama Sprint drift routes and 45 existing routes to be edited in the race creator.
In addition, 10 new achievements can now be unlocked as well as a set of new sponsor objectives, liveries, icons and banners for customisation. Team liveries from the "Driven to Glory" story mode will also be available to be equipped regardless of the GRID Legends version the player owns.
If you own the Deluxe Edition of GRID Legends, Winter Bash will be included for free. It can also be purchased separately.
