Gran Turismo 7 Gameplay

Gran Turismo 7 brings back the single-player campaign called GT Simulation Mode, offering familiar features such as traditional tracks, vehicles, special events, championships, driving school, modified parts shop, used car dealership, GT Auto, GT Sport Mode, Brand Center, and Discovery (now called Showcase).

Players unlock multiplayer, tracks, and cars by completing missions in the GT Café. The game reintroduces the dynamic time of day and weather effects from previous versions. Although there is a single-player mode, an internet connection is required to save progress in order to prevent cheating, according to series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Arcade mode is available offline.

On PlayStation 5, the game takes full advantage of the console’s capabilities, using advanced haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, real-time ray tracing, 3D spatial audio, and reduced loading times. Running at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with HDR support, the PlayStation 5 version also features AI opponents and coaches from the Gran Turismo World Series, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
