Gran Turismo Sport Launches October 17 on PS4

Hello GT Fans! I’m extremely excited to confirm that Gran Turismo Sport will be launching on October 17 in North America. Following the successful completion of our Closed Beta phase, as announced earlier this week, we are now entering the final stages of polishing as we prepare for launch.

Between now and launch you can expect to hear a lot more from the GT team as we unveil more information on the many features included in Gran Turismo Sport, including the campaign mode, various creative tools, as well as a full reveal on all the cars and tracks you can look forward to racing on launch day!

In the meantime, I’d like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself and PDI to express my gratitude for the continued support of GT fans and PlayStation supporters around the world during this beta period. We’re as keen as all of you to get the game into players’ hands, and can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the game when it launches in October.

We’ve strived to create something that delivers an unprecedented experience in terms of the graphics, sound, and physics simulation; an experience that can only be enjoyed on PlayStation.

  Well WHERE is the collectors edition and where can I buy it in North America???

  There is, research is your friend…140 events I believe. It is not the same as old GT’s though which was just car collecting, this is a good thing as that is stale and outdated.

  My understanding was the single player was only a number of license test type events and that the vast majority of the game was online mulitplayer.
  
  Is that not the case? I’d love to jump on GT if it has a fully fleshed out SP mode.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.
Finally, a release date. I just can not wait to buy it…
My father in law was waiting for the title, sadly, he passed away last november…
I’ll play it for him like never before.
Here’s to you Enzo.
Thank you Kaz and to the entire PD Team.

  Thanks man :)
  I introduced him to GT4 back in the day with PS2, and then we played together like crazy with GT5P, GT5 and GT6.
  I remember clearly how surprised and excited he was when he did his first online race in GT5P. Everything was amazing and those are the best memories I have with him. I’ll miss him dearly with GT Sport…
  He was waiting with me… We raced together weekly, we even had a group for saturdays…
  Anyway, thanks for the comment @LOCO209.

Will there be any local/split screen multiplayer??
- joyrul96

  That would be awesome. They could do it just have the visuals downgrade in local/split screen multiplayer and done it should be able to run the splitscreen hope they do this adds another incentive to buy this

This is fantastic news. I’ve been hooked to this franchise since the very beginning. I’ve put a lot of time on the GTS Beta and can’t wait to put even more on the final game.

I bought a G29 on PRIME DAY just to go along with this game.
I already have the PRO and PSVR, so I can not wait to see what kind of thrill ride the newest GT will bring.

Playing with an oscillating fan blowing on you and the sound up HELL YEAH!

Woohoo! Can’t wait. Sad to see VR is limited to 1-1 races even on the PS4 Pro though. I hope a future patch will open that up to more modes on the Pro.

  VR mode is 1 v 1 offline only at that. I understand there’ll be quite a few tracks for VR though. Possibly a saving grace for the VR mode. And the reported reason for only 1 v 1 offline VR mode is they wanted the highest graphical quality. So there’s that. Hopefully a VR demo is released.

Yet another game saddled with micro-transaction like DLC right from the start. Pass. If your pre-order things can consist of nothing but virtual items and currency, then there’s literally no point. You guys are just milking for the extra money, period.

  Absolutely agree with you, RyuuHou24. Instant launch turn-off for me! So sick of publishers trying to nickel and dime players every which way. If the reviews turn out mostly positive, definitely something I’ll pick up on a sale, but not as a day one purchase. Seeing your avatar reminded me of a game with DLC done right–Persona 5. It had some day one DLC, but mostly cosmetic and completely not necessary. They packed SO MUCH CONTENT into the base game. It took me a 100 hours to finish one playthrough. I was trying to rush it too lol. I think publishers would reap more love and more buys for their product if they concentrated on a delivering a game with most of the content actually in the game from the starting line.

I’m excited solely for the VR support! If it’s anything like Drive Club (and I expect it to be better) it’s worth its weight in gold.

I feel like the PlayStation VR stuff on the case may confuse a lot of people buying this game.

Will this be playable without a wheel? I mean, can you be competitive and finish all the trials/races (unlike the final GT6 ones where you have to basically just get lucky to pass them – I gave up and still want a patch to lower the difficulty!!!!!).

Micro transactions just absolutely SUCK but they are showing up in almost every game made but it makes me say NO to the pre-order like others on here! I will wait for a sale before buying something I am going to have to sink even more money into in order to play properly. Of course, if you tell us all that you can get everything you can buy for free just by competing (WITHOUT A $400 WHEEL! Seriously the accessory costs the same as the PS4 Pro – something is wrong with that) then my opinion may change.

I like the GT games, except the ridiculous GT6 final levels (If a Bugatti handles that horribly, why would anyone buy one?), and really want to get this but if it is made more for the driving wheels (You can include one for free with the game if you want everyone to use them) I will pass and never bother with GT again.

Any Chevy vans? CV2’s? Motorhomes? Ferrari GT 250? Step Vans? 4X4 trucks? Kit cars? 1936 Stout Scarab? 1953 General Motors Firebird 1 XP-21? 1947 Norman Timbs Special?, 1970 AMC Gremlin?, 1971 Pinto?, ANY Batmobile?, American LaFrance Hook and ladder fire truck? 1990 Pontiac Trans sport?, Anything besides vanilla cars? Did you guys know that a 1965 Chevy Van is more fun to drive than a Countach? (I’ve driven both.)

I don’t typically complain, but the pre-order dynamic theme for GT Sport has to be the worst theme to date. It’s hardly dynamic, it’s glitchy (scroll fast and it bugs out), and there’s no custom music.
