I just can't see PD or Sony releasing a PC port of GT7 or any future GT game, especially since sim and sim esque racing games are oversaturated in the PC market. Don't think it'll pull numbers like iRacing or have modding capabilities like AC mainly due to GT7 having to be always online. Another thing I would question is how would they crack down on potential cheaters and hackers on PC if they decide to make a PC port of GT7 or if they'll just split the player base for those respective platforms.


EDIT: I also believe that if Sony and/ or PD release GT7 on PC, then it would cheapen the PlayStation brand even further, especially since GT sells PlayStation's and considering the fact it's PlayStation's biggest IP in terms of sales and influence.

The only thing GT7 would have on the current PC sim offerings would be the "career" mode (and forgiving Sport mode).

It is quite interesting that the closest thing to a GT-style game on PC is FM23 :lol:
 
Unfortunately GT7 offers the worst excuse for a career mode in the whole series.
PC actually offers a good variety of career modes, some of the best being mods that are offered for sims. Not to mention that there are multiple different career mods made for the same title. Don't like one, try another. And some of these are real top notch.
Assetto Corsa has a better GT career than GT7 has right now.

Here's one that works for both AC and AMS2.

A LIVING CAREER MODE Build your own league, craft your rivals, and race through a living career where every AI follows the same rules you do. No made-up stats. Just results, ratings, and relentless competition. Highlights Persistent rivals -...

iRacing has a career coming. AMS2 has an official career coming. AC Evo has a career coming. PMR has a career that will continue to be worked on we hope. There's no shortage of career modes to explore on PC.
GT7 isn't really offering too much here. I personally use Forza Motorsport a lot more than GT7 seeing as I haven't turned on GT7 for months now. I find the physics, ffb and car offerings and classes just more engaging.

I would include AC EVO (still unfinished), Grid Legends, and Project Cars 3 if it wasn't dead already. Ah, and Automobilista 2 is going to get a career mode.

This is PD we're talking about, when have they ever "Pandered" to anyone? It might as well be a Holiday whenever they do something everyone likes because otherwise they just do what they want.

Again, the AC career mode is mods and not base game. If it was base game, then I would get your point. Also people been saying that iRacing would get a career mode for a while and it hasn't materialized and on top of the fact that iRacing is subscription based. Also didn't AC Evo take away career option and just focusing solely on its open world and multiplayer?

Exclusives aren't a new concept. Nintendo isn't putting their games onto other consoles and it seems to be doing just fine.

I mean doing what they want has worked out for both PD for roughly 30 years 😂

Why would you need it in the base game? Now you have like 5+ careers to choose from which is better than being stuck with just one.

From iRacing:
"
Career Mode

Career Mode is now deep into its development path, and we have reached a major milestone: full end-to-end “game loop” ux testing is officially underway. While we’re still being a bit coy with the finer details for now, we are incredibly excited about the transformative experience this will offer. The initial release is designed to provide a solid foundation with a robust feature set, built specifically to allow for continuous expansion and new features over the coming seasons.

Expect to hear a lot more about Career Mode in our next update…"

iRacing Development Update: February 2026 - iRacing.com

Hello iRacers, The first few months of the year are an incredible time to be a motorsport fan. With real-world series deep into preseason testing or waving their first green flags, we get that first look at the new cars, technologies, and regulations that will define the season. As sim racers...

So iRacing is subscription based? That's what it is.

AC Evo will still have a full career mode that you can opt to use or not use.

How does any of this determine how the only way for PC players to get a "GT style experience" is emulating older GT games?
I just shared a video of us getting that very experience in AC. It isn't hard to use. And just because it's a mod doesn't make it any less enjoyable or "professionally" made.
But going back to your emulating older GT games, we even have a better version of GT4 than the original, which I have and use here and there.
 
I was looking forward to get GT7 on pc, maybe it will come when the online goes bye bye like gtsport and offline patch drops in on both ps4, ps5 and maybe pc port.
I got myself playing GT5 and 6 in rpcs3 because the gt7 on pc hype, now I have scaled back since these no pc ports rumors and now confirmed, only have GT 2000, GT3, GTC Geneva and GT4 in pcsx2, they are good, but I was really looking forward to drive Lamborghini Murcielago in Trial Mountains in gt7 on my laptop or
Aston Martin Valkyrie, or the The Lexus LFA with Yamaha V10, rpcs3 used to take nearly 15 or 20 mins to boot GT5 here on my laptop, gt6 is ok but GT7 is legend for me in terms of car detailing and and tracks, weather and the day cycle.

I was so so looking forward to it, still will be on pc and my phone for a long long time since all these consoles are either x86-64 consoles or either Arm walled gardens or cages.

I can see why. There is a lot of money in a PC port short term.

Problem is, I won't need to buy a Playstation anymore.

Playstation plus psvr2.

Because why buy the psvr2 when you can get a vr tool compatible with pc

People far smarter than me can see the problem down the road

You can use PSVR2 on PC, and it is an interesting alternative, sure you have much better headsets, but not at the same price.

But I agree with you on the fact that GT is a Playstation seller (for me at least), going PC would mean no more PS for me.

Career AC Evo? I've news for you blood
 
Absolutely not happening after Project Helix got announced, that's why Sony is pulling out of PC ports as they don't want their games being played on Xbox.

How do you know that's the reason ? Do you think Sony has spies at Microsoft and knew in advance they would announce a new Xbox ?
 
plus you can already play Playstation games on a Xbox device

 
i think more logical reason is that the PC ports didn't done well enough plus games being more exclusive makes more console sells and thats what PS6 and PS6 hendheld need

Multi billion dollar corporations definitely find out things before the general public, lol

Anyways you can argue into the void here

It's very easy {for PDI} to code so that cheating in multiplayer is extremely difficult, e.g. they can make checksum encrypted file with all save data which only saves on their server while other data saves on the user PS5. Since multiplayer is online it is even easier.
 
Some of you had valid points such as it's a title that do sell playStations and from the aspect of cheaters but anti-cheat system have come along way with TPM. For those of you who are saying that the game will not have a big impact on the PC market you guys are completely off.

I love sim racing games but dislike games such as iRacing and similar games for the simple fact that is the same thing over and over. The only game that could have done something against GT7-GT8 port would have been Forza motorsport but they fumble the bag so bad that they pretty much dropped the game at once with their quote '' From the ground up " yeah right.

Nothing on the pc market is close to what GT has to offer to people like myself that loves sim racing but don't like to hop on a game to race a schedule race with a car that I haven't build myself, ( Ac Evo had a chance and they blew it screwing many who bought the game mainly for the career mode ). Occasionally it's fine to race GT cars but overall it's extremely boring for a long period of time and people like me are not sticking but in a title such as GT we would.

GT would succeed if allowed to reach the PC audience. There's a platforms for every budget not everyone has to migrate to PC just for a game especially when consoles are reaching 1000$+ which during covid was already hard for parents imagine now with the situation with Iran... and I think this is where the consoles players are wrong. Those big companies want to reach more people and by you thinking they only want to cater to you while live services are the future is insane... the whole market is pushing for cloud gaming. Microsoft is pushing the hybrid console that can play PC and Xbox games because they want to push away Sony and box them in a corner to either stay into a niche forcing them to lose players over time or challenge them to do the exact same thing which I have a feeling they haven't done and are already late in the race and in the long run will lead eventually to cloud gaming so by them not releasing live services on PC will cause them to lose out to Xbox on the exposure side ( Microsoft are more worried about Valve/Steam atm) Sony is trap between both. PC on the other hand will last far longer than the console if these companies decide to go cloud and Nintendo always had their own ecosystem and games so transitioning to Cloud won't be an issue and they don't depend on outside studios to produce games to make their consoles relevant which is not the case with Sony.

On an ending note, Sony has been so closed minded for so long that it's catching up to them.
