GT Academy 2012 Exceeds 1 Million Players
GT Academy 2012 seems to have captured the interest of PS3 gamers as the number of unique players participating passed the magic 1,000,000 mark earlier this week.
In a series of Tweets on June 19th, Kazunori Yamauchi shared with us a number of statistics about the download’s impact. Current numbers include:
- Over 1,000,000 unique PSN IDs playing
- Over 10,000,000 gold trophies attained
- More than 174,000,000 player retries
- 111,240,000 miles/178,980,000 km driven – enough to drive from the Earth to the Sun and almost a fifth of the distance back again!
There are still four days to go until this first phase of GT Academy closes on June 25th and qualifying, registered players from eligible countries will be selected for their regional finals based on their Round 8-5 times – and for the rest of us to secure the gold trophies needed to get bonus gifts in Gran Turismo 5.
While there’s time left, keep checking our GT Academy 2012 forum for hints, tips, and discussions with other players – and we wish good luck to all GTPlanet members!

That’s a lot of driving. Good luck to all, and especially to the 32 per region who go on to the next round.

^ Agreed. I rather have GT6, a fresh new game. It’ll be time to put down GT5 soon.

I think it’s time for PD to put their development and their focus on GT6. I’m guessing PD would fix bugs through updates for GT5. GT5 is a year and a half old already. We may hear info about GT6 after GT academy is over.

That’s the thing – if they rush GT6 to market it will be another GT5 – incomplete and unpolished. By PD giving good content/updates to GT5, thought it maybe a year and a half old, it would remain viable for a time to come. I am in no means saying that PD should not be working on GT6, but I am saying that they need to finish what was started and give us a complete GT5.
