News Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 User Score the Lowest in PlayStation Exclusive History
Road block
Update: Gran Turismo 7 has achieved the unfortunate accolade of having the lowest Metacritic user score in Sony exclusive history. The score of 2.2 – which is still falling – puts it below the likes of Cool Boarders 2001 on PS1. It’s a sharp message from fans (and, presumably, some trolls) that Polyphony Digital has work to do.
Currency adjustments convey value and rarity of real-world vehicles
Gran Turismo 7’s servers have been restored after an unexpected and unprecedented 24 hours of downtime. Due to the PlayStation 5 and PS4 exclusive requiring an Internet connection in order to save gameplay progress, the entire experience was largely unplayable over the past day...

News Sony Music's Latest Collaboration with PlayStation Features a Fire Verse from Idris Elba
Vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom
After years of lip-service, Sony’s various divisions are finally working in unison. But while the collaborations between PlayStation and Sony Pictures have been obvious – The Last of Us is shooting in Canada right now, and Uncharted has been a big hit at the Box Office – we’ve seen less crossover with Sony...
News Gran Turismo 7's Prestige Cars to Be Dynamically Priced by Real-World Valuation Company
But why?
Okay, we could get behind the Elvis Presley song and even the moon landing footage, but this is just weird. Gran Turismo 7’s prestige vehicles, Legend Cars, will have their in-game prices dynamically altered by real-world insurance and valuation specialists, Hagerty. This means, as the price of a specific model changes in real-life, those...

News Gran Turismo 7's New Approach to Microtransactions Isn't Going Down Well
Taking all the credit
During the long-term, post-launch support of Gran Turismo Sport, Polyphony Digital added countless new cars to the game, making them all available for purchase individually at varying prices.

News Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Launch Collab Is Way Too Trendy for You
Stylish social club
PlayStation has always been at the cutting-edge of pop culture, so it’s strange we don’t see more collaborations from the company with fashion brands, to be honest.

News Gran Turismo 7 Load Times are Dramatically Different Between PS5 and PS4
Need for speed
As we've come to expect — especially from first-party titles — Gran Turismo 7 has significantly shorter load times on PlayStation 5, compared to what you'll find in the PS4 version of the game. Thanks to the current-gen console's super fast SSD and obviously much improved specs, we're talking differences of over half a minute. Not...

News Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Platinum Will Be Time Consuming But Attainable
Fast and not-so furious
According to Sony’s own statistics, just 0.1 per cent of GT Sport owners managed to unlock the Platinum Trophy. That’s because Polyphony Digital included some absolute slog gongs, requiring 91 online wins and a ludicrous amount of XP to reach Level 50. It looks like the Japanese developer has learned its lesson, as Gran...

News Gran Turismo 7 Trailer Pits Real-Life Against PS5
And the winner is?
Judging by this comparison video, the framerate in real-life is awful! Sony’s released a video pitting Gran Turismo 7’s virtual rendition of Willow Springs against the real thing, and it makes for compelling viewing. The in-car footage is using a GoPro in the cockpit, so it looks a lot livelier than the game’s silky smooth...
