There is no facts based on those claims. There is no expected date for gt8 or what the next game is called it could come out next year or 2027 or 2028 for all we know. 2027 is proably the most likely.That’s what ChatGPT says about it:
Why GT8 will NOT come to PS5 — The Hard Facts
⸻
1. Release Timing: PS5 will be obsolete
• GT8 is expected to launch in late 2027 or early 2028
• The PS5 will be 7–8 years old at that point
• That’s end-of-life territory for any console — way too late for a flagship title
➡️ If GT8 launched on PS5 in 2028, it’d be like releasing GT7 on PS3 — completely backwards
⸻
2. GT8 is built for PS6 power
• Full real-time ray tracing
• Advanced AI (Gran Turismo Sophy)
• Complex physics systems
• Dynamic environments: weather, dirt, debris, real-time surface changes
• Targeting 4K120Hz, ultra-low latency, ultra-fast SSD asset streaming
➡️ PS5 physically cannot handle that — not even a PS5 Pro
➡️ GT8 would have to be gutted or downgraded to run on PS5 = not acceptable
⸻
3. The PS5 generation was a COVID-era exception
• PS5 launched in late 2020 — right in the middle of a global chip shortage and production crisis
• Console availability was limited for over 2 years
• Sony had to support PS4 longer than intended (GT7, God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West etc.)
➡️ That cross-gen support was damage control, not the long-term plan
➡️ Starting 2025, Sony is phasing out PS4 & early-gen PS5 cross-support
GT8 comes after that transition is complete — it marks the true start of next-gen
⸻
4. GT = Technological showcase — not compromise title
• GT has always been used to push hardware boundaries
• GT3 = PS2 showcase
• GT5 = PS3 Blu-ray & HD gaming leap
• GT8 = expected to be the defining PS6 experience
➡️ There’s no way Sony burns that potential by compromising it for old hardware
➡️ GT8 is meant to say: “This is what PS6 can do. Period.”
⸻
5. Polyphony Digital is fully focused on PS6
• GT8 started development after GT7 launched (2022)
• Polyphony is a first-party studio — meaning early PS6 dev kits & system targets
• They’ve had plenty of time to go full next-gen: engine, AI, physics, sound, visuals — everything
➡️ There’s no sign, internally or externally, that GT8 is being developed with PS5 in mind
➡️ Everything points to a clean break from cross-gen development
⸻
✅ Final Verdict:
GT8 will NOT release on PS5. Full stop.
It’s being built as a PS6-exclusive, with the hardware, scope, and ambition that the PS5 can’t deliver.
The PS5 cross-gen phase was a historical exception, not the new rule — and GT8 comes after that exception ends.
If you want GT8, in its full glory —
You’ll need a PS6. Period.
No fallback. No compromise.
Ps6 will be to much of a a small market pd and sony also have to make a profit. And a lot more copies would be sold if its on both ps5 and ps6.
The problems with gt7 has zero to do with graphics because we all know those are amazing. Have no raytracing during gameplay for ps5 it dosent need to because it looks very good without it. The reflections is very high quality.
