The Grand Tour

What Happened To The Grand Tour Game?

The Grand Tour found itself to be one of the most popular shows uploaded to Amazon Prime Video when it was first released late 2016. The show continued the legacy of Top Gear and its presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, and gave the hosts higher budgets to play with, new ideas, and reportedly, a much higher income than their previous BBC contracts.

Gaining huge popularity, The Grand Tour Game was revealed in January of 2019. The game followed the story of the episodes and mixed real clips from the show with gameplay, merging the two media incredible well. And while this was a brilliant idea, reviews came back as mixed.

Fans of the show loved the game, but could be described as being biased. On the whole, the game received very mixed reactions, with many praising the game for its new take on a gaming experience, but with sub-par graphics and weak gameplay. We didn’t hear a lot about the game since then, and now it looks as though the team behind it have silently swept it under the rug, despite promised of it being updated to run parallel to future Grand Tour episodes.

The game has been removed from all storefronts, and after July 31st, all bonus content will expire and not be available to those who purchased it. Amazon has removed the following conus content:

What is the Pre-order bonus content that will expire on July 31, 2020?

  • Jeremy Clarkson’s Beach Buggy

  • Richard Hammond’s Eco Car

  • James May’s Fire Truck

What is the Twitch Prime bonus content that will expire on July 31, 2020?

  • Porsche 918 Spyder Crown Edition Livery

  • Lotus Evora

  • Ford Mustang RTR Hoonigan Livery

  • Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Those who bought the game will still be able to play it, but without the bonus content accessible to them.

So, we want to know, did you play the game? We were just about to download it to see for ourselves, but as expected, we can’t find it anywhere!

  1. It was absolutely awful. I played it for a couple of weeks and never opened it again. Honestly, I’d forgotten it even existed.

  2. I played it and as someone who is into racing games it was a below average racer but…..it was alot of fun! Had the Mario Kart like feel to it and playing with a few friends was quite interesting. Shame it’s being dropped, was looking forward to watching it’s evolution as the series went on and the people that make grow as a studio.

  3. I own the game amd absolutely love it! It is definitely one of my favorite car games.. Bought it about a year or so ago on my PS4 Pro..

  4. Still have it installed on my xbox. It’s a fun split screen racing game to play with the kids as it’s super simplified controls
