It has been a while since we sat down to take a critical look at the Gran Turismo World Series. The high-water mark was set during a memorable and spectacular event in Sydney, Australia, which brought together a compelling combination of racing action, atmosphere, and production value. GTWS was rolling, with plenty of momentum and storylines to project it into the year ahead.

A special Gran Turismo movie screening was part of the recent Gran Turismo World Series Showdown in Amsterdam, including a walk on the red carpet and a guest appearance from Jann Mardenborough — the man whose story is the inspiration for the film.

It has been a while since we’ve heard anything about Gran Turismo Sophy, the all-new artificial intelligence system developed by Sony AI in collaboration with Polyphony Digital. After making its debut as part of a limited-time “Race Together” special event in Gran Turismo 7 update 1.29 back in March, the Sony AI team has been quietly evaluating all of the data they collected and figuring out how to make the new agent better.

Topping the list of “things I never thought I’d write”, Sony Pictures has partnered with the NBA to promote the upcoming Gran Turismo feature film in the United States.

As most regular GTPlanet readers know, the upcoming Gran Turismo feature film will tell the true story of 2011 GT Academy champion Jann Mardenborough.

Sony has announced that it is developing a new PlayStation handheld device code-named “Project Q”, which is designed to allow players to stream any game from their PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi.

The Gran Turismo movie trailer has ignited a wide range of reactions from fans here on the GTPlanet Forums, with opinions spanning from excitement to disappointment.

The first trailer for the upcoming Gran Turismo feature film was screened to a limited audience at Sony Pictures’ CinemaCon 2023 presentation in Las Vegas. Two of the film’s most well-known stars, Orlando Bloom and David Harbour, also made a special appearance to reveal the new footage.
