Gran Turismo 7 review

Gran Turismo 7 is the strongest simulator for console players. The US PlayStation page lists over 420 cars available from day one at Brand Central and the Used Car Dealership, with more than 100 added since launch, and 37 tracks with 110 layouts that mix real locations with series originals such as Trial Mountain and Deep Forest. Modes cover GT Simulation Mode, Arcade, Driving School, Circuit Experiences, Time Trials and Sport mode Daily Races, so beginners and competitive players both have a path. PS5 owners can play in PlayStation VR2, and the paid Power Pack adds 50 races, 24-hour endurance events and full race weekends. Free updates continue: Spec III added 8 cars and 2 tracks, and Spec IV Part 1 arrived in October 2026. The limits are platform and connectivity: it runs only on PlayStation, online play needs PS Plus, and the page notes an internet connection is required for most functionality.
