Gran Turismo 7 is an upcoming racing video game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game will be the eighth mainline installment in the Gran Turismo series.[2] The game was announced on June 11, 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal event and is expected to be released on March 4, 2022 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, making it the first multi-console installment in the series.

Gameplay[]

During the gameplay trailer, the game's main menu was revealed to be similar to that of the menu style of Gran Turismo 4.[3] This game brings the return of the GT Simulation Mode, encompassing the long-established and definitive single player campaign feature.[4] Other classic features were shown such as the return of traditional racing tracks and vehicles, Special Events, Championships, Driving School, Tuning Parts Shop, Used Cars dealership, and GT Auto while still retaining the new GT Sport Mode, Brand Central, and Discover that were introduced in Gran Turismo Sport.[2] The game will also feature the return of dynamic time and weather effects, which previously appeared in Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6.[5]

For the PlayStation 5 version, the game will take advantage of the console's increased processing power, dedicated ray-tracing hardware, custom solid-state drive storage, Tempest Engine, and DualSense controller to support features such as advanced haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, real-time ray tracing effects, 3D spatial audio, and reduced loading times.[6][7][8][9] The PlayStation 5 version of Gran Turismo 7 will also run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with support for high dynamic range.[10]

Development and release[]

Gran Turismo 7 was revealed at Sony's PlayStation 5 reveal stream on June 11, 2020.[11] The game is being developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5.[12][13] The game was initially scheduled for a release in 2021.[14][3][15] It was later delayed to 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the video game industry affecting game development.[16] The game is currently scheduled to be released for PS4 and PS5 consoles on March 4, 2022.[17][16]

In a July 2019 interview with GTPlanet, a fan website dedicated to the Gran Turismo series, the series creator Kazunori Yamauchi stated that the next Gran Turismo title is in active development.[18] Yamauchi confirmed that there will be a focus on fine tuning the classic GT experience, adding: "I think the next title that we’re going to create will be a combination of the past, present and future – a complete form of Gran Turismo."[18]
