As one of the longest-lived gaming series of all, never mind just the racing genre, a new NFS game is kind of a big deal.

Gran Turismo 7 is the eighth main entry in the Gran Turismo series. Developed by Polyphony Digital, a studio within Sony Interactive Entertainment, the series first launched in 1997 on the first PlayStation console and has sold over 80,000,000 copies worldwide since.
