Gran Turismo Sport End of Life Announced for January 31 2024​

Polyphony Digital has today announced that Gran Turismo Sport will be moved into end of life status on January 31 2024, bringing the game’s active status to an end after a little over six years on sale...

Finally.

Does this mean I can't do the GT League races anymore?

Edit: Thanks for the poo, @dirtydog ❤️

I don't remember it being an offline feature, but if it is going to save your career progress, it is probably going to become one.

Sort of raises more questions than answers.

 

[Veinz]

Inevitable. Imo the game doesn’t have much to offer besides multiplayer, most people have moved onto GT7 anyway.

A great game but as mentioned it has been properly replaced by GT7 and as such has little to no relevance right now. Expected and inevitable. Thanks for the lovely memories!

Good luck to those still chasing the Platinum, the Level 50 grind is probably one of the least enjoyable times in gaming I've had ever.

Liveries not being preserved in some way is a bit of a bummer. I'm having a hard time to believe there's no way at least the ones I've done myself can be stored locally. Seems a bit lazy from the developer's side.

Then again, you can import them over to GT7.

However it appears that Polyphony Digital will revert this requirement, allowing players to keep access to the “offline” game modes.

This is great news, I was hoping this would be the case. Hopefully this can ease fears that GT7, also, won't be playable once the servers go offline. 👍

Quick question: is every car in GT Sport also in GT7, except Mercedes W08? I remember that the game got updated with some ridiculously priced (like 20 million) vintage cars that I never got to try, are those cars in GT7?

Yes. Exclude the Fittipaldi EF7 VGT and yes, all cars were ported over (correct me if I'm wrong)
(Of course there's alternate livery cars like the Lewis Hamilton AMG VGT that isn't in GT7)

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well the time has come as I expected.

Guess this means I have a lot of 'work' to do between now and 31 Jan, namely buying all the cars and importing my liveries from Sport over to GT7 so that I still have them so I guess i know what I will be starting this weekend, not to mention the finish of the grind to Level 50.

Same here.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Damn. That's the third worse GT game (GT6 and GT7 being the worst)

 

[RC F]

Yes, IF I do have GT7, I can. And IF the car is in GT7 (which is the case for most cars, I know). But they are creating a precedent here by basically saying "You want to keep you liveries and several hours of work associated with them? Just buy our new game (and our new console, because our new game might not be made for your old console anymore)!

Well, it is what it is.

Unfortunately, we'll basically be losing liveries, sad. The same thing will happen when Gran Turismo 7 goes through the same thing.

Technical notes regarding liveries:

 

[Pedinhuh]

So they finally worked the courage to break the news everyone was expecting huh? About damn time.

And looking at how the current DLC support for GT7 is drying up, given how the scale of updates is shrinking, I can speculate that the development of GT8 must be fairly underway.

About GTS, we being able to still access our garage and career mode is something that surprised me, I thought that my disk was gonna turn into a useless paperweight.

But meh, I don't care about the game anymore, even less now that I will not have my liveries...I should have bought a digital copy, now I don't know if I can find someone willing to buy my disk.

 

[Famine]

It would be a pretty useless paperweight, for sure. Discs don't weigh much and wouldn't be able to hold all that much paper down.

Well, there's the case that adds a bit more weight tho 😉

 

[MonoTonouS]

There was a scapes expansion ? When !

It was a free DLC.

This sounds good if it’s a precursor to GT7. Should get rid of the invitations and give casual players more time to collect all cars, before GT12 servers shutdown.

 

[MoLiEG]

What sucks the most is that this could be a foreshadowing to what will happen to GT7.

All liveries: Gone.

****s given by PD: Zero.

Kaz: Drowning in hundreds of dollars.

Yikes 😵‍💫

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Knowing they can flip a switch at the end of a game’s life to keep single player content available is a good sign. Still not happy about the online saves to begin with, but it’s not so bad long term if they plan on doing this for GT7 and presumably future titles.

At long last, Offline Mode!
