PLEASE: BRING GRAN TURISMO TO PC

[RGDUNK]

Dear Polyphony Digital, dear Sony, ()

for decades, Gran Turismo has inspired millions of racing fans around the world. For many of us, it was the first game that made cars feel special. It was not just about winning races — it was about discovering cars, understanding performance, learning tracks, comparing lap times, tuning setups, collecting machines we loved and slowly becoming better drivers.

Gran Turismo has always called itself “The Real Driving Simulator.”

And that is exactly why so many of us believe:
Gran Turismo deserves to be on PC.

Not as a simple port.
Not as a reduced version.
But as a true PC Sim Racing Edition — built for the people who invest thousands of hours into racing, hardware, leagues, endurance events and competitive online driving.

The PC sim racing community is ready.
We have direct drive wheels, load cell and active pedals, motion rigs, button boxes, triple screens, ultrawide monitors, VR headsets, high-end GPUs, dedicated leagues, broadcast teams, endurance communities and drivers who take virtual motorsport seriously.

What we would love to see is a Gran Turismo that finally uses the full potential of PC.

We want native triple-screen and ultrawide support.
Not workarounds. Not stretched images. Proper cockpit geometry, correct FOV, bezel correction and clean multi-monitor support.

We want serious VR support.
OpenVR and OpenXR support, high performance, clean mirrors, stable frame pacing and proper cockpit immersion for headsets like Quest, Pimax, Varjo, Reverb and future PCVR devices.

We want detailed force feedback options.
Gran Turismo has always had beautiful driving character, but on PC we need deep wheelbase support: Simucube, Simagic, Fanatec, Moza, Asetek, Logitech, Thrustmaster and more. Give us detailed FFB sliders, telemetry-based effects, road texture, curb detail, tire load, suspension feedback and proper clipping tools.

We want real online racing infrastructure.
Dedicated servers. Private leagues. Hosted sessions. Password lobbies. Admin tools. Practice, qualifying and race formats. Safety rating. Driver rating. Clean matchmaking. Proper stewarding tools. Incident review. Replays for race control.

We want proper endurance racing.
Real online driver swaps. Multiclass racing. GT3, GT4, prototypes, touring cars and road cars together where it makes sense. 40+ car grids. Pit strategy. Tire compounds. Fuel saving. Weather changes. Day/night cycles. Long races that feel alive.

We want the best possible netcode.
Stable close racing, low latency, good prediction, less warping, clean side-by-side battles and confidence when fighting wheel-to-wheel at 250 km/h.

We want realistic damage and mechanical consequences.
Not arcade punishment, but believable consequences: aero damage, suspension damage, tire damage, engine stress, gearbox wear, brake temperature, overheating and repairs that actually matter in long races.

We want deeper simulation options.
Tire pressures, temperatures, brake bias, traction control maps, ABS settings, differential tuning, ride height, aero balance, suspension geometry and setup tools that serious racers can use without destroying what makes Gran Turismo accessible.

We want telemetry and data export.
UDP telemetry, MoTeC support, SimHub support, dash support, bass shaker support, motion rig support, wind simulation, shift lights, button boxes and external dashboards.

We want high-end PC graphics options.
8K support, 240 Hz support, DLSS, FSR, Frame Generation where useful, HDR, ray tracing options, benchmark tools, advanced replay rendering, photo mode export and proper graphics scalability from mid-range PCs to extreme rigs.

We want mod-friendly community features — at least where licensing allows it.
Custom liveries, team skins, number plates, league templates, shared setups, custom championship formats, server-side rules and community event tools.

We want Gran Turismo’s soul — but with PC freedom.

Because this is the important point:
Nobody wants Gran Turismo to become something else.

We do not want to remove its identity.
We do not want to turn it into iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Automobilista, rFactor or RaceRoom.

We want Gran Turismo to remain Gran Turismo: beautiful, polished, emotional, car-loving, elegant, accessible — but finally opened up to the PC sim racing world.

The PC community would not replace PlayStation players.
It would expand the Gran Turismo universe.

It would bring new leagues, new events, new broadcasters, new hardware support, new endurance championships, new communities and a completely new life cycle to the series.

Gran Turismo already has the heritage.
It already has the cars.
It already has the presentation.
It already has the emotional connection to automotive culture.

Now imagine that combined with the freedom and power of PC sim racing.

Gran Turismo on PC would not just be another port.
It could become the ultimate bridge between car passion, serious online racing and modern sim hardware.

So this is our appeal:

Bring Gran Turismo to PC.
Bring it to Steam.
Bring it to Windows.
Support Linux / SteamOS where possible.
Support VR, triple screens, direct drive wheels, dedicated servers, telemetry and serious online racing.

Let the Real Driving Simulator finally race where so many real simracers live:

on PC.

Another bot post?

 

[RGDUNK]

No bot here — just an old Gran Turismo fan with maybe too much hope for a proper PC version. 😉
The images are obviously fan-made mockups, but the wish behind them is real: Gran Turismo on PC with triple-screen support, VR/OpenXR, proper direct-drive wheel support, dedicated servers, driver swaps and serious online racing — just to name a few wishes — would be a dream for many sim racers.

 

[Nebuc72]

That's so awesome ChatGPT. I'm so glad to hear your opinion. Thank you for making the Ps6 £1299 ChatGPT this post was absolutely worth that cost so I can see whatever the hell this is and race it on the Nurburgring Forbidden Layout.

Who is this "we"?

I don't want GT to become a PC sim. It's perfectly fine as a console, pick up and play, racing game. You say you don't want to take away its soul, but by making it a PC game with mod support and full fledged sim options, that's exactly what you're doing.

It can already do a lot of things you want to happen whilst being on a console.

You mention the millions of GT fans. Why turn your back on millions by making it for an audience of thousands?

 

[suomi1]

 

[Rossell2]

Taking Famines job off him for a moment (sorry), friend, this is not the official Gran Turismo forum.

Edit: Also, you'll never see a PC only GT.

 

[hyperspeed980]

You couldn't even ask your crappy AI to generate a few road cars? Says a lot about what you think GT is.

 

[kjb]

Yeah probably only a 0.00000000000000000000000000001 % chance of GT being on PC or less

 

[RGDUNK]

Guys, relax. Everything about me and my intention has already been said above. I don’t need to add anything else, and I won’t. Sorry.

P.S. It’s quite interesting how quickly tempers flare on this topic... Please just see it as a “humorous” wish list. I think that’s more than legitimate.

And otherwise... fire away, feel free to vent, all good. :-)

 

[daan]

Are you not going to discuss any of the points raised? This is just a one and done?

 

[RGDUNK]

To be honest, yes. I simply wanted to summarize my — or rather our — wishes and make an appeal, presenting the whole thing in a somewhat bold and humorous way.

 

[UKMikey]

I can't believe all the money PD is leaving on the table by not releasing on the best selling hardware platform of 2026. GT7 for Switch 2 now!

 

[Mattylatvala]

Pc gamers think GT is a kids game, enjoy spending hundreds per year on iracing

our

Who is this we giving our opinions? GTPlanet does not permit pool accounts: one person per account and vice versa.

Additionally, we're not PD and don't have anything to do with the development of Gran Turismo.

I would ask what's "remastered" about it, how and why it gets nearly twice the car count but a reduced track count, why the makers think the Nordschleife is the 24h circuit (with additional Hot Wheels loops), why the minimum PC specs differ depending on which side of the box you read, and how it's on Blu-ray in 2028 given the already-infamous announcement last week.

Other than that, while a future GT game might appear on PC, GT7 - for which this is the subforum - won't.

Edit: Always fun to see what kind of person gets upset by statements of fact.

 

[RGDUNK]

In the way we use the term, “we” simply refers to everyone who can identify with this wish list. In my own circle, I have naturally been in contact with many others for years.

And believe me, when I say “we”, I mean those people who have had the same wishes on their minds for quite some time as well.

So please, let’s not keep getting hung up on the word “we”.

All the details in the images simply come from the prompt instructions given to the AI. As I said, please don’t take every single detail too literally.

It is, as mentioned, a somewhat humorous representation — more like a caricature — combined with wishes that are genuinely meant seriously.

A lot of it comes from the AI’s own imagination and creativity. ;-)

 

[Nakano219]

There's some dark humour around going out of your way to generate a fake GT PC physical case when even the next PlayStation GT is probably not going to have a physical version, never mind the platform where physical has been dead for a decade and a half!

You speak only for yourself. If others agree with you, in part or in whole, they may say so in their own posts from their own accounts.

Exactly, that’s the point. ;-)

And honestly, with the newer AI models, creating something like that isn’t even that difficult or time-consuming anymore. I give it a lot of direction myself, and the rest is understood by the AI through my previous context and style.

I was — and still am — really impressed with what came out of it.

That's so awesome ChatGPT. I'm so glad to hear your opinion. Thank you for making the Ps6 £1299 ChatGPT this post was absolutely worth that cost so I can see whatever the hell this is and race it on the Nurburgring Forbidden Layout.

Hmmm...

Such unwarranted cynicism, false assumptions, and general miserableness. Give the OP a break why don't cha!

 

[RGDUNK]

Anyway, I’m out for now.

See you in 2028 on the Nordschleife — GT on PC, crossplay, full grid, no excuses. 😉🏁

 

[Dreadmed]

This topic seems to routinely pop up every few months so there is a level of demand... see the interest in AC EVO's mooted single-player/career mode before that got jettisoned.

There was a point a couple of years ago where I was starting to think it might actually happen with the delayed ports of previous PS exclusives to PC, that one Nividia driver leak (authentic or otherwise) with reference to Gran Turismo... the subsequent back-peddling from Sony on PC ports has put that idea firmly back into pipe-dream territory.

It is a bit of a shame because there aren't all that many Simcades to choose from on PC, at least to my knowledge; the latest FM fell flat on its face, PC3 was very much hit or miss even before it got delisted, EA WRC + F1 (while rather solid) are both a niche within a niche... the plethora of other titles I can think of (AC, AMS2, LMU e.t.c) are all firmly on the sim side of the equation.

 

[Famine]

that one Nividia driver leak (authentic or otherwise)

The Nvidia - or rather GeForce Now - "leak" was authentic but had nothing to do with drivers.

It was basically a storefront listing, with game IDs, comprising scrapes of every other storefront. Many games didn't have game IDs, because they were not games that were at the time, nor would be, supported by GeForce Now and were effectively placeholder (hey, never say never, right) and reference data. Only those available on, or in development for, PC were listed with game IDs (which did lead to some being exposed as being in development).

GT7 was among the titles in the database and among those that didn't have a game ID, because it wasn't in development.

Gran Turismo 7 Appears on Nvidia GeForce Now Leak (Updated)

Update: Nvidia has responded to the leak, stating that the list of titles on the platform is "used only for internal tracking and testing", and that the inclusion of any title "is neither confirmation nor an announcement of any game". A video posted to YouTube this weekend appears to show Gran Tu

www.gtplanet.net

Nor was it ever; we know now that PD looked at it at some point in GT7's development and decided against it.

Looking at the list of "we" wants and AI-generated box"art" above, it would seem that this person (or these people) would be happier with a heavily modded Assetto Corsa. In among all the wants for online racing and dedicated servers and netcode and driver swaps in online racing, there's no mention at all of a single-player career mode with curated offline races/licences/missions (or tuning, livery editor, photo mode, and so on...) that's been at the heart of GT games throughout - even, eventually, in GT Sport.

Which rather suggests they want a modded AC with the GT logo on the box, rather than a GT game on PC.

 

[notarjy]

It would be great to have the choice to play GT7 on PC, but right now Sony is more focused on removing choices for customers.

 

[CGT980]

You say in your post you don't want to turn Gran Turismo into AC/iRacing/etc...but all of those points listed contradicts that statement. As Famine mentioned, you're not even taking into account the very foundation Gran Turismo is built upon. No mention of what made it special in the first place.

Second, why a PC-only version? That's not expanding the player base if you're keeping them segregated, which is another contradictory point. Also, it would be a waste of resources.

Yeah I'm not surprised the guy unironically posting Tom MacDonald in the music thread thinks this is a shining example of human-made creativity.

Real example of intelligence and rationality, aren't you mate.

As a GT7 Lover and boxart fan maker in the past here on this forum, and a careful observer to the artwork presented, I noticed the AI shoddiness of the front cover with three random race cars racing a twisty wet version of the Nurburg maybe?? And then they all colliding on the front cover, haha , nicely done but utter rubbish, this looks terrible at best imo.

Also why would there be a box with Blu-ray, if the game is all steam based, as a digital only title??? What???

The OP post is really bizarre and I don’t know get why these threads keep popping up here. I'm confused by the remastered title, are you saying is it for GT1 or GT7 lol. The only introduction to PC would be maybe using the my "First Gran turismo title" to test the waters on PC. But even then like others you reducing a large fanbase to minority to a very small demographic platform. Sony are doing well with GT and given current announcements, they wont want to shift it to PC anytime soon especially after the imminent GTA 6 release.

Lastly from a technical viewpoint of what the OP is saying, you cant run 8k on three screens smoothly enough, that would take a behemoth of a PC or two, to build or buy to run such a game at 60fps smoothly.

4k at 2160p, is more realistic only due to texture management and graphical output via HDMI/thunderbolt cables to a relative 8K monitor. Your cables would bottleneck and cry for more powaaaa from a tank of a AMD or NVIDIA GPU which are not readily available anyways to churn out that HDR goodness.

I can only assuming you're joking. Especially since they've admitted to using an AI prompt (although it's not clear whether that was just for the picture rather than the text as well).
