Enjoy a flying lap on Deep Forest Raceway in Gran Turismo 7 captured on PS5™.
It’s hard to believe but Gran Turismo 7 was released on the PS5 and PS4 around four years ago now. Like most games nowadays its 4K and HDR visuals mean it still looks decent – but it’s been progressively upgraded throughout the years with free DLC content, too. Enter the Power Pack; a new, paid-for DLC that promises to cater towards more hardcore gamers with a chunk of extra content and races. It’s only for PS5 and PS5 Pro, mind.
It’s yours for £24.99 and promises a host of new events, along with a small collection of new cars and a dollop of in-game cash too. But is it worth the money?
The sim-racing hardware landscape has undergone a massive transformation in the last few years. What was once a niche market dominated by a few key players has exploded into a multi-million dollar industry, with brands like Fanatec, Logitech, Thrustmaster, Nacon, and Moza fighting for space on sim-racer’s rigs.
As more manufacturers eye the PlayStation ecosystem, the question of how Gran Turismo handles this influx of hardware has become an interesting topic. Speaking at the 2025 World Series Finals in Fukuoka, Japan, Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi addressed the studio’s strategy for hardware compatibility, the “Spec III” update, and why the PC’s “freedom” isn’t always the right path for a console experience.
How 'bout they just come to pc too! Would be a great addition, especially for vr racing.
Why bother?
Most of the personal computer crowd feel they have better options with iracing and assetto. And they're VERY vocal about that.
I'd really love for it to come to PC too... More options is NEVER a bad thing. Plus I hate moving my PSVR2 over to my console just to play Gran Turismo. It's like the one VR game that I have to switch to a different system for.
Although the situation has improved in recent iterations, for much of its history the Gran Turismo series has been heavily criticized for its engine sounds. During the PlayStation 2 and 3 eras, engine notes were often compared to "vacuum cleaners"; the result of synthesized loops that lacked the soul and mechanical violence of their real-world counterparts.
Video games sounds keep evolving with every new generation be it a little or a lot eventually it will get to the point of been inside the race car
Wow, hopefully the video is just compressed too much. Graphically this pales a lot in comparison with Forza 5.
I know they are 2 different styles of gameplay, but man, that is an unimpressive video.
Looks great, people need to remember it doesn’t release until next March so plenty of work is still being done to the game but it’s very exciting.
To me, this just looks like a slightly updated version of Gran Turismo sport playing on a PS4 pro. I watched this gameplay on an Oled display and I was not impressed. From a visual standpoint, the sterile clean and empty style of the visuals has hardly changed in 20 years.
I don't care if I get crucified for saying this but from someone who is a PS5 owner and who has never purchased an Xbox console, I was far more excited by the visuals from the latest Forza title.
Looks fantastic, cannot wait. Day One!
dont know why people compared forza a arcade racer to sim gt7 both game are diffrence anyway cant wait fot gt 7 to come out
