Grand
You’ve got to give Polyphony Digital credit: the post-release support for Gran Turismo Sport has been nothing short of sensational.

News Free Gran Turismo Sport Update Adds Cars, Tracks, and Bonus Campaigns
Monza hunter
Well, if Gran Turismo Sport continues like this, those criticisms levelled at the lack of content under the simulation racer’s hood are going to look very silly indeed, aren’t they? Polyphony Digital has detailed the next big update for the popular PlayStation 4 exclusive, and it spans more than just cars, as starting 26th January...
News Gran Turismo Sport to Secure Sizeable Update Next Week
Supra hot
Polyphony Digital’s iterating upon Gran Turismo Sport with frightening speed, and hot on the heels of December’s huge update, creator Kazunori Yamauchi is already teasing a new update.

News Gran Turismo Sport's Servers Offline Ahead of the Holidays
No roadmap for a resolution
Oh no! Gran Turismo Sport is built with multiplayer in mind, and it’s been pretty reliable since launch. The holidays have brought the simulation racer’s servers crashing down, though – and rendered most of the title unplayable. Because of the release’s FIA License element, you need to be connected to the game’s...

News Gran Turismo Sport Scores Traditional Single Player Campaign for Free
Huge updates planned for Polyphony's racer
Well, then. The biggest criticism pointed at Gran Turismo Sport was that it lacked the franchise’s traditional single player campaign mode – and it looks like Polyphony Digital’s taken that feedback to heart. Starting in December, it will roll out an enormous new update incorporating what it’s...
News Gran Turismo Sport Grabs a PlayStation VR Bundle for the Holidays
Speed freak
Gran Turismo Sport is one of the biggest PlayStation VR compatible brands available right now, so it makes sense for Sony to bundle the simulation racer with the hardware. Unfortunately, the functionality is so disappointingly limited that this kinda feels like a bad pack-in – hopefully Polyphony Digital has been paying attention to...

Hands On How Does Gran Turismo Sport Fare with PlayStation VR?
Ups and downs
Around about a year ago, we hopped inside Gran Turismo Sport’s cockpit with a PlayStation VR headset on and walked away somewhat unimpressed. We felt that the game looked fine in virtual reality – better than DriveClub VR, we commented at the time – but we weren’t exactly blown away, especially after seeing the title running in...
News Gran Turismo Sport Scores Free Scapes at Launch
What up, Invaders
Gran Turismo Sport already has a generous selection of Scapes at launch, allowing you to place your virtual vehicles in all manner of real-world locations for photography reasons. But it seems Polyphony Digital couldn’t wait to create a few more, as it’s offering a free expansion on the PlayStation Store to coincide with the...
Guide Can You Play Gran Turismo Sport Offline?
What if you're not connected to the Internet?
Gran Turismo Sport is the first instalment in Polyphony Digital’s series to have a heavy online focus. With the title enabling players to earn an authentic FIA license, there’s a level of integrity that needs to be maintained within the game. This means that the title has some huge online...
Feature DriveClub Is An Alternative to Gran Turismo Sport Worth Considering
How fast do you wanna go?
Gran Turismo Sport launches this week, and it will snatch the PlayStation 4 racing game baton from DriveClub with little resistance. Evolution Studios’ simcade didn’t enjoy the best start to its short life, being driven out of the PS4’s launch window before releasing in a particularly sorry state. But the British...

News UK Police Drivers Use Gran Turismo Sport to Train
Round the bend
This wasn’t a press release we expected to see in our inbox this morning, but Sony is throwing all of its marketing resources behind Gran Turismo Sport at the moment, so we probably shouldn’t be all that surprised. PlayStation has partnered with Lincolnshire Police Force to – and we quote – “offer supplementary training to...
