GRID, the 2019 racer from Codemasters is showing some signs that a Linux port may be on the horizon going by some info taken from SteamDB.
On the SteamDB page, recently a bunch of clear Linux entries appeared. To be clear though, it's never a guarantee of anything and we're speculating about it at this point. Since Codemasters already have multiple titles on Linux, the majority of which were ported to Linux by Feral Interactive (Virtual Programming did one), it makes it more likely this is coming.
While it currently has a version on Stadia, so you can play it by streaming it, it's not quite the same as a local copy that you can tune especially for your rig. Stadia is still very new too, and for some it's simply not playable. So, if this turns from speculation and rumour into a real port it will be very welcome.
You can see the release trailer below:

If we see any more or if it gets confirmed, we will let you know here on GOL. We reached out to Codemasters to see if they had anything to say about it.

We've already been in touch with them about it. Other plugins that use similar block lists are likely also doing it.

Thanks, and noted.

Since the game has a Vulkan engine, for it to run on Stadia, here is to hoping we get a native Vulkan port to Linux. We don't have too many 'native' Vulkan games. I am not counting the Feral ports, as the newer ones do use Vulkan, they are all native DX11 or DX12 engines that Feral has ported to Vulkan, which is an amazing feat and I very much enjoy Dirt 4, Shadow of Mordor, Tomb Raider, etc...but games which actually have a Vulkan engine, are rare, even on Windows. And only a handful have been ported to Linux.

Yeah, it doesn't have a good name among serious sim racers.
This. Probably the reason why it's my favorite racing game. Much easier to handle than other "hardcore" racing sims.

That doesn't explain how he found those steamdb changes, I assume liam doesn't check the GRID 2019 depots every day.
