Sony's newest installment in the Gran Turismo series, Gran Turismo 7 has become the worst-rated Sony game ever, with a Metacritic user score of 2.1/10 which appears to put it below every game the publisher has released. Gran Turismo 7's servers recently went offline for over 24 hours — leaving players unable to enjoy the recently-launched game due to an issue found in Update 1.07. The server maintenance was originally scheduled to take place with two hours of downtime and would introduce players to an update that included new improvements and adjustments to gameplay. Sadly this backfired, as fans took to social media to express their anger and disappointment with the developer.
Releasing during the series' 25th anniversary, Gran Turismo 7 has a strong emphasis on realism and immersion. The racing simulator includes limited ray tracing technology to produce incredibly realistic lighting effects and reflections and features a dynamic weather system affected by air, temperature, humidity, and road surface that changes how players race. Like the previous installment in the series GT Sport, Gran Turismo 7 requires an online connection to play in both offline and online modes. This is ostensibly used to dissuade cheaters, but many players have expressed frustration with the feature, believing that it would lead to connectivity issues and have ultimately predicted recent issues the title has been facing.
