Gran Turismo 7 is a 2022 sim racing video game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game is the eighth main installment and the thirteenth overall in the Gran Turismo series, following Gran Turismo Sport (2017).[2] It was released for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Gran Turismo 7 features virtual reality (VR) support with PlayStation VR2 through a free in-game update.[3]
Gran Turismo 7 received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its graphics and gameplay. However, player reception was more negative, with criticism of its use of microtransactions and focus on grinding. The game was subject to intense review bombing on Metacritic, receiving the lowest Metascore for a Sony-published title.
Gameplay
Gran Turismo 7 features the return of the single player campaign, GT Simulation Mode.[4][5] Other returning features are the return of traditional racing tracks and vehicles, Special Events, Championships, Driving School, Tuning Parts Shop, Used Cars dealership, and GT Auto while still retaining the new GT Sport Mode, Brand Central, and Discover (now labelled Showcase) that were introduced in Gran Turismo Sport.[2] The player needs to progress through tasks ("Menu Books") from the GT Café to unlock features like multiplayer, and all tracks and cars.[6][7]
The game features the return of dynamic time and weather effects, which previously appeared in Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6.[8] Despite the game including a single player campaign, like with Gran Turismo Sport, the game requires a constant internet connection in order for players to be able to save their progress. The series creator Kazunori Yamauchi explains that this decision was made to prevent cheating. Arcade mode is fully playable offline.[9]
For the PlayStation 5 version, the game takes advantage of the console's increased processing power, dedicated ray-tracing hardware, custom solid-state drive storage, Tempest Engine, and DualSense controller to support features such as advanced haptic technology feedback, adaptive triggers, real-time ray tracing effects, 3D spatial audio, and reduced loading times.[10][11][12][13] The PlayStation 5 version of Gran Turismo 7 also runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with support for high dynamic range, a significant improvement to performance on original PlayStation 4 consoles which run in 1080p.[14] In addition, drivers from Gran Turismo's esports competition, the Gran Turismo World Series (previously the FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Championships utilizing Gran Turismo Sport), appear as AI opponents and License Test coaches.[15]
