Introducing the New Data Logger Feature!
First released in 1997 as The Real Driving Simulator, Gran Turismo captivated players and car enthusiasts alike with its lineup of real-world production cars and its remarkably authentic driving experience. Twenty-five years and numerous evolutions later, Gran Turismo 7 stands as the full expression of the series’ core ideals. Drive. Collect. Customize. Discover the pure joy of cars once more in the world of Gran Turismo 7.
Gran Turismo 7 features more than 550 cars from 70-plus automotive manufacturers. From familiar production models to rare and legendary race vehicles, cars from all eras have been meticulously recreated in the game. Also, more vehicles have been added via regular content updates since the title's release. Look forward to discovering the hidden gems of the world of automobiles.
The list of tracks that serve as the stage for all the racing action feature the usual mix of real-life circuits and original courses, taking players to 41 different locations for a total of 121 unique layouts. Classic series circuits from the original Gran Turismo such as Trial Mountain, Deep Forest, and High Speed Ring make their comebacks, updated with the latest advancements in technology. And, just like with the vehicles, additional tracks have also been added to the game via regular content updates since the title's release.
A defining hallmark of the series has always been its commitment to delivering a truly realistic driving experience—a philosophy that has shaped every installment since the original game. Gran Turismo 7 carries this vision even further, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the thrill of sports driving, from first-time players to seasoned veterans. There are countless ways to dive in: compete in thoughtfully crafted races, explore car-focused minigames in Missions, build your skills step-by-step at the License Center, or take your racing online and connect with drivers from around the world.
The world is filled with extraordinary cars, each with its own story to tell. Gran Turismo 7 celebrates this heritage, guiding players on a journey to collect some of the most iconic machines ever built. As you progress, the game naturally reveals the origins of each model and the role it played in automotive history. From humble compacts and spirited sports cars to legendary classics and purpose-built race machines, the spectrum is vast and endlessly fascinating. Begin your journey as a collector and discover the rich tapestry of car culture in Gran Turismo 7.
Personalizing a car to match your own taste is one of the purest joys for any automotive enthusiast. In Gran Turismo 7, that experience runs deeper than ever. You can fine-tune performance, transform the exterior with custom paint, and modify bodywork to suit your vision. With more than 130 wheel designs, 650 aero parts, and the ability to add roll cages or perform wide-body conversions on select models, the possibilities are nearly endless. Get ready to craft the perfect machine.
A proud owner can spend hours simply admiring their cars. With Scapes, players can capture that feeling of taking their prized machine on a scenic getaway, photographing it in more than 2,500 locations around the world. The system makes it easy for beginners to take great shots, while seasoned photographers can dive deeper—fine-tuning aperture, focus, exposure, and exploring a wide range of filters to craft the perfect image. For those who want to bring the excitement of the circuit into their photos, Race Photo mode allows players to capture themselves in action on track, creating dramatic angles and dynamic scenes that would be impossible in real-world motorsports.
Begin with a modest budget, buy a used car, and earn credits through a variety of race events. From there, tune your machine or purchase a new one to tackle tougher challenges. The core gameplay loop that defined the original Gran Turismo returns—now richer, deeper, and more immersive than ever. Your journey doesn’t have to be a solitary one. Enjoy local racing with friends through "4P Split Screen," or head online to compete with players from around the globe. Meet, race, and connect with fellow motorsport enthusiasts.
New to Gran Turismo 7, Music Rally offers a fresh, more casual way to enjoy driving—where rhythm and racing come together. Unlike traditional competition, this mini-game challenges players to travel as far as possible before their remaining “beats” run out, each one ticking away in time with the music. When the song ends, your reward is based on the distance you’ve covered. It’s an exhilarating new driving experience set to familiar tracks. Another standout addition is Music Replay, a feature that automatically syncs replay cameras and cuts to the beat of the music. Relive your favorite races with dynamic, music-driven visuals that turn every replay into its own cinematic moment.
With more than 25 years of development behind it, this installment delivers the most advanced physics simulation model ever seen in Gran Turismo. Through the use of computational fluid dynamics, the game accurately reproduces changes in downforce caused by variations in ride height, as well as the effects of wind direction and air turbulence on vehicle handling. Beyond technical realism, the team gathered extensive feedback from a wide range of experts—including our advisor Lewis Hamilton, global tire partner Dunlop, and top drivers from the FIA GT Championships—to create the most natural, intuitive driving feel the series has ever offered.
The PlayStation®5 version of Gran Turismo 7 features Gran Turismo Sophy (GT Sophy), a next-generation racing AI agent developed through a collaboration between Polyphony Digital, Sony AI, and Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). Rival cars controlled by GT Sophy exhibit remarkably natural, human-like behavior, heightening the realism and intensity of every race. Thanks to its advanced deep-reinforcement learning, GT Sophy continues to evolve—promising ever more dynamic and engaging on-track battles in the future.
Drive beneath a wide, open sky and watch as dark clouds gather, unleashing a burst of torrential rain before giving way once more to clear blue. Begin a race under a canopy of stars and cross the finish line just as the morning sun paints the horizon in shades of orange. In Gran Turismo 7, the world around you is constantly in motion, just as it is in real life. These seamless shifts in time and weather are powered by a simulation model built on extensive climate data from each track’s real-world location. The result is a strikingly authentic, beautifully rendered sky—one that feels alive every time you take to the circuit.
As rain falls, the track transitions from dry to wet, transforming the racing surface beneath your tires. While past titles have featured wet conditions, Gran Turismo 7 takes the system even further with a far more precise simulation of how the road becomes saturated—and how it gradually dries. Natural phenomena now emerge with striking realism: puddles form in low-lying areas, and the racing line clears more quickly as cars sweep water away. The result is dramatic, ever-changing competition where conditions evolve lap by lap. In this environment, anything can happen.
Alongside its rich automotive content, Gran Turismo 7 is built to support esports at every level. In Sport Mode, players can easily join Daily Races or compete in the official Online Championship, a global series that has run annually since 2018. This championship extends beyond online competition, culminating in live events for the highest-ranked drivers each season. All past race action is available to watch on Gran Turismo LIVE, and several of these top competitors even appear as characters within Gran Turismo 7. It’s a fully realized esports ecosystem, seamlessly integrated into the game.
Gran Turismo 7 is fully optimized for the PlayStation®5, harnessing the latest advancements in gaming technology. With ray tracing, cars exhibit stunning visual depth and realism, while tracks appear more natural and lifelike than ever before. Combined with 4K resolution and HDR support, this becomes the most visually impressive title in the series to date. The game also takes full advantage of the DualSense™ wireless controller. Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers deliver nuanced vibrations and resistance, allowing players to feel the character of the car and the texture of the road surface as they drive. Enhanced further by 3D Audio—which accurately portrays the direction and movement of every sound on the circuit.
Gran Turismo 7 offers full support for PlayStation®VR2 (available exclusively in the PlayStation®5 version). Players can experience every race, online event, and game mode—excluding 2P Split Screen—with an unprecedented level of realism. The exclusive VR Showroom lets you examine the ultra–high-definition car models up close, taking in their details across a variety of lighting conditions and environments. The game fully leverages PS VR2’s next-generation capabilities. Specially optimized HDR tone mapping, foveated rendering powered by eye-tracking—which renders the areas you’re directly looking at in high resolution—and dynamic 3D audio all work together to create a deeply immersive driving experience unlike anything before it. (Please note: Gran Turismo 7 is not compatible with the PlayStation VR2 Sense™ controller.)
