This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Polyphony Digital is “Considering” Releasing Gran Turismo on PC​

GTPlanet is here in Monaco for the Gran Turismo World Finals and Gran Turismo’s 25th Anniversary event, and we had the chance to sit down with GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi...

With knowing how much of an effort PD makes to limit cheaters and any minimal modding i wonder how they would deal with a PC release

 

[Bojador]

I’m sure it will happen. Sony has finally understood that porting games to PC is the way to increase revenue.

 

[Joey D]

GT on the PC would be the best thing for me. I rarely play console games, but play a ton of PC games and prefer it. It's be even better if it came out on Steam and you could play it on the Steam Deck.

 

[Samus]

Only considering it? Funny, @Nathan88 claimed months back that the port was already in progress.

 

[Stefan Clift]

If they do, all I ask for is cross-platform saves

 

[RacinLei]

Cheatfestival, please no crossgaming.

 

[AudiMan2011]

There's no excuses for them left. The audience is there and waiting.

I know it probably wouldn't be sanctioned by PD but if they allowed modding support albeit offline only similar to how GTA 5 works on PC then GT7 will be the best in the series. There is a very big market that PD/Sony is missing out on by not having GT on PC.

 

[Mariangello]

Good to know, it's probably time to consider selling my ps5. And other ps5 games are already on pc or will be later...

Have you played GTA5/Online on PC any time in the past 5 years? That "modding support" has absolutely destroyed normal online play. No thank you.

 

[Obelisk]

This is great.

“Gran Turismo is a very finely tuned title,” Yamauchi-san explained. “There are not many platforms which could run the game in 4K/60p natively, so one way we make that possible is to narrow down the platform. It’s not a very easy subject, but of course, we are looking into it and considering it.”

I nearly spit out a full mouth of Cola reading that. LOL
Right Just running ACC, rF2, AMS2 at 120hz at 4k but sure, whatever. And that's without track and car LODs popping out right in front of your face like in GT7. Give me a break.

When he says finely tuned i think he means that the devs are working with the PS requirements in mind,you can't just let the PC brute force your game,it's not about power.
GTA 4 PC port still has problems nowadays and that's a 12 year old game.
If there is a GT7 PC port it will probabky be ported by nixxes a Sony studio that was responsible for some other Playstation PC ports

Right, what am I saying. It would probably be a mess anyways. You're right.

I don't know if that user is right but I can tell you Poly lied about the ps5 exclusive. From the begining it was a cross gen game. So "considering" could be another lie. At the end, Sony makes a decision for Poly about a PC port.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Interesting news but I don't see Sony approving it.

 

[Normalaatsra]

For most people's PC hardwares that are likely to be 5 years old now, I can only imagine the solid 60 experience that GT mandates for core gameplay sequences could experience the same stuttering as how the PS3 GT games feel to play as.

I'm all in for a PC release still.

 

[PSN:And-War]

Damm Start saving for that GPU, RTX ON

 

[ICEYOU3]

Kaz has wanted this for years and with Sony porting some of their exclusives to PC recently it's absolutely happening lol

 

[gtrotary]

They need to consider full PSVR2 support before anything else.

Seems to run fine on a nearly 10 year old PS4 though?

Settings exist on PC, the game can just be dialled down. It's hardly a problem.

Did Polyphony ever claim GT7 was PS5 exclusive? It was noted on the video footage shared by Sony during the reveal trailer, which was probably put there by Sony. Polyphony are at fault for many things GT related, but PS5 exclusive at the time or not, that was more than likely Sony.

 

[Sojiira]

I would have hoped they were further along, these answers makes me feel like in typical PD fashion they have quite the ways to go. Maybe if the other Sony PC ports do well they'll push the pace

GTA 5 has never supported mods. I think you’re confusing mod support with “doesn’t support mods, but the users figured out how to tweak things anyway”. If it officially supported mods then you’d see things like an SDK and mod download platform a La Steam Workshop.

If GT comes to PC, it doesn’t have to support mods, it’ll be modded regardless.

Imagine better camera views or more offline events

The PS4's hardware was worse than any gaming PC on the market when it came out 9 years ago, and GT7 runs on it.

That was my point.

Wonderful can wait to see pc players get to experience the wonder of the invite system and the pressure of not being able to buy and drive the content you pay for.

😀

It must be true then!
