We are 60 days away from the launch of Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation and the Sony PlayStation marketing machine does nothing but accelerate and heat up the spirits of that hype that consumes little by little all the followers of the saga.
Rare is the day that we do not have some small reminder that the launch is approaching and that this installment promises to start (we know how the games are launched now) very strong, with many reminiscences to the first editions where the huge fame of the title was gestated.

For Polyphony Digital and Sony it is difficult not to jump on the bandwagon of nostalgia and things that worked very well at the time, and in context. Appealing to the good times and combining them with a powerful and improved online seems a recipe for success, and that’s what the Japanese will try this time.
At the moment there are two obstacles that darken the horizon a little, and that is the limited availability of the console, due to the global crisis of components and that makes the title is launched on PS4 to increase sales. Naturally the downgrade or sacrifice of running on a previous generation console remains to be seen, as the advanced features are being shown on PS5. The other cloud comes from its rival Microsoft, which in the absence of Forza Motorsport has managed to launch in November an installment as Forza Horizon 5 capable of leaving many players satiated with motorsport for a few months.

At the moment what we have almost every day are new images that remind us of the mythical circuits of the saga that will reappear in Gran Turismo 7, along with a list of cars more extensive with each passing hour.
The prices of the editions start at 60 and 70 euros depending on the console and rise to 90 and 100 euros for the 25th anniversary. More information on the extras by clicking here. The peripherals developed with Gran Turismo 7 in mind have already been seen and are available for purchase, such as the T-GT II from Thrustmaster or the Gran Turismo DD PRO from Fanatec. Especially interesting the second one for the Direct Drive technology, being the same base as the CSL DD that we analyzed these days on the web.

We remind you that in its PS5 variant, Gran Turismo 7 promises to go to 4k and 60 FPS with HDR and haptic functions for those who use the controller. With the promise of Kazunori Yamauchi to improve realism and physics to satisfy the most demanding enthusiasts.
The hardest thing now is to try to buy a PlayStation 5 in some store even if it is through third parties.
See you on the track!
