With Gran Turismo 7, the first instalment in the long-running racing franchise to launch on the PlayStation 5, hitting store shelves on 4 March 2022 – Sony Interactive Entertainment used their latest State of Play stream to highlight some of the game’s modes and features. Boasting footage directly captured from the PlayStation 5, this 30ish minute episode provides fans with new gameplay footage, a look at some of the modes, and much more.
Some of the things highlighted in the stream, which can be watched in its entirety above, include:
Music Rally
Hop into a Porsche Carrera Speedster ‘56 and race through the Music Rally. On the surface, it’s an arcade-style race where players will enjoy some motivating, up-tempo tunes while trying to reach checkpoints before time runs out.
Purchasing a car
The World Map is players’ home base in the resort-themed world of GT7. The first task to complete is using some provided in-game credits to purchase a used car.
Cafe
This comfy locale offers players “Menu Books” of activities to complete for new cars and other game-progression goodies.
License Center
Unlock the License Center, featuring rigorous driving tests known to GT veterans all over the world.
Tuning
With a handful of cars now in players’ garage and new skills at their command, a Cafe menu will direct players to the newly opened Tuning Shop. This place is loaded with parts of all shapes and sizes, with even more to be unlocked.
Developed by Polyphony Digital, Gran Turismo 7 will be available exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on Friday 4 March 2022. The game can now be pre-ordered via video game retailers and the digital PlayStation Store.
