In a new State of Play, PlayStation has officially revealed Gran Turismo 7's world map, which includes a brand-new in-game shopping mall that allows players to purchase more than 300 different post-2001 cars. The Gran Turismo series has released quality experiences for each console generation and is generally considered to be a major selling point for PlayStation consoles due to its renowned reputation as one of the best racing video game franchises. Set to be the eighth mainline installment in the long-running franchise, Gran Turismo 7 will launch in early March on both PS4 and PS5 and set in motion a new visually stunning expansive ride through many new features and next-generation console-specific extras for both long-time fans and newcomers.
Releasing during the series' 25th anniversary, Gran Turismo 7 aims to have 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 will change how players will race. Like the previous installment in the series GT Sport, Gran Turismo 7 will require 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 it will lead to connectivity issues and ruin the whole experience.
