My debut in the world of Gran Turismo takes center stage as I embark on an exhilarating free-to-play racing adventure, exclusively arriving on PlayStation VR2 this week.
As part of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebrations, Polyphony Digital reveals the latest installment in its iconic Gran Turismo series pays homage to the roots of the franchise’s inaugural title. Building upon the recent PS5 Pro update for Gran Turismo 7, which introduced VR Positional Reprojection and improved rendering, this new entry boasts native PlayStation VR2 support for an immersive racing experience.
The studio has crafted an immersive experience that enables newcomers to master three fundamental facets of the series: navigating diverse vehicles, deepening their understanding of vehicle mechanics, and strategically collecting a wide range of vehicles.
The game offers a range of featured modes, including common race options with three pre-defined playable characters, three time-attack challenges featuring online leaderboards for competitive players, the “Licence Centre” where new gamers can learn the basics through interactive tutorials, and three “Music Rally” mini-games providing an engaging break from standard gameplay.
The official PlayStation blog has revealed that the upcoming racing game will feature a diverse selection of tracks, including not one, not two, but three distinct circuits: the challenging Kyoto Driving Park, the lush and unpredictable Deep Forest Raceway, and the technical Trial Mountain Circuit. The game features 18 meticulously selected vehicle options, carefully tailored by Polyphony Digital to provide an optimal experience for newcomers to the series. The studio tantalizingly hints that a collective surprise may unfold if players assemble the entire collection, with each acquired vehicle potentially transferrable to Gran Turismo 7.
My first GT game comes to life in stunning detail with the launch of Gran Turismo on December 6th at midnight Pacific Time, exclusively for PlayStation VR2.
