Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 to deliver the best experience yet

Gran Turismo Sport transformed Sony’s flagship simulation racing series into a very popular eSport and thus succeeded in boosting the brand. However, fans of the series lamented the lack of a full single-player campaign like in previous entries; After all, the collectible car mode inspired by the RPGs of previous titles has been a big part of the brand’s long-term success.

We already know that Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation 5 will be a combination of “past, present and future,” meaning it will include a full single player mode. However, in an interview with reporter Toshifumi Watanabe for Octane Japan, as translated by GT Planet, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi reiterated that we can expect a more traditional experience this time around.

“Although he inherits elements such as [FIA] championship made in GT Sport, Gran Turismo 7 will return to the true objective of full volumes as [Gran Turismo] 1-4, and deliver the best Gran Turismo experience today, ”he said. The translation is a bit strange, but we’re sure you can deduce what you mean here.

It’s the next natural step for the franchise, to be honest. Obviously, the esports aspect isn’t going anywhere, and multiplayer has been so successful on the PS4 we didn’t want it to be, but building a more traditional single-player experience out of that should benefit the whole package., And we believe it will be a huge hit when it launches on PS5 later this year.
