During today’s The Mix & Kinda Funny Spring Game Showcase at GDC, Acclaim and Ridiculous Games unveiled a new gameplay trailer for GRIDbeat!, the rhythm-based dungeon crawler launching on Nintendo Switch and Steam digitally on March 26, 2026.
The latest trailer highlights GRIDbeat!’s neon-saturated visuals, infectious electro soundtrack, and skill-based gameplay, which tasks players with moving to the pulsing beat as they outwit the network’s security programs, solve puzzles, and take on the challenging Cyber.Mind bosses that reign over the Mainframe.
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. Outmaneuver relentless security protocols, battle brutal military simulations, and fend off insidious, corrupting viral code… all programmed with one directive: to delete you forever.
