GRIDbeat Pulses March 26th Onto Nintendo Switch!
LOS ANGELES, 23 FEBRUARY 2026 – In The Mix: Indie Fan Fest showcase, Acclaim announced that GRIDbeat! is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam digitally on March 26, 2026.
To celebrate the announcement, Acclaim has released a new deep dive gameplay trailer. Narrated by Jaime Bencia, Senior Producer at Ridiculous Games, the video offers an in-depth look at the various systems and mechanics that combine to create GRIDbeat!’s pitch-perfect blend of rhythm-based dungeon crawling, where players need to sync every action to the beat of a pulse-pounding soundtrack as they explore a neon-saturated virtual labyrinth and evade the system’s deadly defenses.
In GRIDbeat!, you assume the role of a hacker who just breached Knoss.OS, the planet’s most heavily fortified corporate network, and made off with a payload of priceless data. Now trapped within the sprawling digital labyrinth of the Mainframe, every keystroke is a rhythm, every move a measure in a desperate dance for survival.
Outmanoeuvre relentless security protocols, battle brutal military simulations, and fend off insidious, corrupting viral code… all programmed with one directive: to delete you forever.
