GRID Legends Keyboard & Controller Controls
GRID Legends is Codemasters' 2022 touring-car and motorsport racer, with a documentary-style story mode and a race creator. Out of the box the keyboard uses the old Codemasters layout: comma and full stop to steer, A to accelerate, Z to brake, Q and Left Alt for gears. The team orders sit on the letter keys and the right-hand punctuation cluster, and on the D-pad of a controller. These are the defaults shown on the game's Edit Device screen on a fresh profile.
