Gran Turismo 7

Polyphony Digital founder and president Kazunori Yamauchi has spoken more about the next game in the GT series, Gran Turismo 7. Yamauchi’s comments came as part of a PlayStation Blog article which focuses on the PlayStation 5 console’s first official global ad.

According to the UK-published Official PlayStation Magazine, Gran Turismo 7 is set to be a launch-window title for the PlayStation 5 console when it arrives later this year.

It’s pretty to safe to say that the Gran Turismo 7 reveal video made quite an impact on long-term GT fans. Though GT Sport has its own charms, players have missed the old GT style in more ways than one.

Whenever a new game like Gran Turismo 7 is revealed and the “hype train” leaves the station, it’s exciting to keep up with all the news, rumors, and announcements surrounding it. That’s our speciality here on the editorial side of GTPlanet, but it can be hard — even for us! — to keep up with everything that gets released.

Last week’s Gran Turismo 7 trailer had quite a lot to unpack, and we’ve put together a helpful guide to anything that might have slid under the radar.

Gran Turismo 7 is the eighth main entry in the Gran Turismo series. Developed by Polyphony Digital, a studio within Sony Interactive Entertainment, the series first launched in 1997 on the first PlayStation console and has sold over 80,000,000 copies worldwide since.

The grand reveal of Gran Turismo 7 during last week’s PlayStation 5 games event was a pretty exciting event. Along with confirming the game’s existence, it gave us a first look at GT7 in action — and a new career mode. We’ve put together a guide on everything we know about Gran Turismo 7, in case you need to get up to speed.

Thursday’s big PlayStation 5 games reveal event provided a triple-whammy for Gran Turismo fans. Sony not only revealed the console itself, but also unveiled Gran Turismo 7. We have put together an extensive guide for everything there is to know about Gran Turismo 7, but we also wanted to take a deep-dive into exploring what is new with Trial Mountain.

Note: This post discusses everything revealed immediately after Gran Turismo 7’s reveal in June 2020. For a continuously-updated article, check out our primary resource: Gran Turismo 7 — The Ultimate Guide.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 games event has revealed the thing we were all waiting for: Gran Turismo 7.

The next generation of gaming is just over the horizon, with both of the main players in the next-generation console market winding up the hype and anticipation. With that in mind I am excited to announce the new Gran Turismo 7 forum opens today on GTPlanet.

Kazunori Yamauchi has made some interesting comments about the future direction of Gran Turismo’s graphics. The Polyphony Digital studio boss has suggested that frame rate, rather than display resolution, may be the area in which the next titles in the series look to improve.

Earlier today we got our first official word on Sony’s next-generation PlayStation console. The report focused on hardware, but an old rumor aligns with it so well it could give a hint as to the software too.

Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that GT Sport may not be a main sequence Gran Turismo title after all.

Kazunori Yamauchi was at the Taipei Game Show recently, discussing the present and future of the Gran Turismo series (via Game Watch). There, he dropped the first hints of what might be next for the franchise after GT Sport.

Gran Turismo Sport is something of a departure from the traditional Gran Turismo series game. The online focus at the expense of a career mode and a relatively small car count, heavy with racing models, is not the GT we all know and love.

Alongside dropping the news that GT Sport is currently 70% complete, Kazunori Yamauchi has also revealed an interesting insight into how Polyphony Digital view the latest entry in the Gran Turismo series.

It’s that time of year again! The 13th annual Gran Turismo Awards have become a special tradition at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, and the details for this year’s competition have just been announced by Sony.

In a JeuxVideo interview published last week from the Peugeot Vision GT launch event in Paris, Kazunori Yamauchi gave a direct answer when asked about the possibility of the Peugeot 208 Pikes Peak coming to the Gran Turismo series: yes.
