What is the release time for Gran Turismo 7?
This is the question on everyone’s lips, when will (finally) be released Gran Turismo 7? The answer is simple and definitive for now: on March 4, 2022 at 00:00. Fans of the Sony console will therefore be able to discover this racing simulation that has been awaited for nearly four years in a few months, both on Playstation 4 and Playstation 5. As for multiplayer, know that it will integrate from its released crossplay features that will allow players on different generation consoles to play together. The game is already available for pre-order, count 69.99 euros for the PS4 version, 79.99 euros for the Playstation 5 version, and 99.99 euros for the special 25th anniversary edition (PS4 and PS5 ).
Gran Turismo 7 State of Play
Gran Turismo 7 brings great technical innovations. Developed by Polyphony Digital, this new title shows us its meticulous work on car models down to the smallest details. We also find the mention of Ray-Tracing technology, which will offer a truer-than-life light to players with the Playstation 5. It will be available in the game’s Replay mode and in the Garage, the console’s performance not allowing to ensure fairly high framerates in game and with Ray-Tracing. It is indeed the most greedy graphics technology among recent innovations.
Who says racing game also says changing landscapes and dynamic weather. Gran turismo 7 will not fish on this side since it will offer fully progressive weather effects, in order to immerse players on evolving tracks, where we can see the progressive formation of puddles for example. Sony even talks about the influence of heat and the degree of humidity in the air on driving, to satisfy fans of ultra-realistic simulations. Add to that the haptic responses of the PS5 controllers and you will get a more real-than-life driving experience, if we are to believe the words of the Japanese giant.
Finally, the State of Play focused on its “World Map”, a menu feature that fully models the world of Gran Turismo 7 and offers the player the opportunity to navigate between the different activities available. Among these is the Museum, which will bring together information and interactive content on the history of the various big names in motorsport, offering the opportunity for car and history buffs to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. Alongside it, we will also find the Café, a place where you can meet some of the most eminent personalities of the automotive world, for an immersive introduction to this prolific universe.
