The Gran Turismo franchise is racing to screens as Sony Interactive CEO Jim Ryan reveals a TV show based on the video games is in development. Originally created by producer Kazunori Yamauchi and developer Polyphony Digital, the game franchise puts players in the driver's seat of licensed vehicles as they race through a variety of exotic locations. Gran Turismo is best known for its detailed graphics and accurate driving physics as well as allowing players to use in-game currency to purchase new weapons and upgrade the ones they already own.

First launching in 1997, the Gran Turismo games have received largely favorable reviews from critics for the realistic racing simulation and is considered one of the most popular racing franchises, having collectively sold over 85 million units. Though critically acclaimed, the most recent installment Gran Turismo 7 has received some criticism from gamers for introducing microtransactions to the game, with the game receiving Sony's lowest user rating and lowest exclusive title rating on Metacritic with a 2.2 our of 10. As Polyphony works to course correct, the Gran Turismo franchise looks to be eying a new path forward.
