News Gran Turismo Sport's Ultimate Vision McLaren Is Like a Bloody Tron Cycle
Playable in the game
God, this new concept car set to appear in Gran Turismo Sport is bonkers. Designed by McLaren in collaboration with Polyphony Digital and series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, it hints at the kind of vehicle the British manufacturer could be building in 2030 and beyond. And it’s just mental: it’s like a Tron Cycle where you have...
News Gran Turismo Sport to Race Away with Another Beta Before Launch
Details will be revealed soon
Gran Turismo Sport is almost here and it’s got about a tenth of the content you’d expect from a Polyphony Digital title – but we’re not going to let small issues like that ruin our fun, are we? To be fair, having played the title a few times now, it definitely feels great behind-the-wheel – and we suspect...

Gamescom 2017 Goodness Gracious! Gran Turismo Sport Looks Stunning at Night
Trip the light fantastic
Sony may not be going crazy at Gamescom 2017, but the show’s in Germany so it seems like the ideal venue to showcase Gran Turismo Sport. And in addition to the game’s Limited Edition PlayStation 4 bundle, the platform holder’s also dropped this footage of the Nurburgring at night. Now, we all know that
Gamescom 2017 Gran Turismo Sport Sharpens Up with Limited Edition PS4
Something new
Sony was teasing “something new” yesterday, and as we accurately predicted it was referring to a new limited edition Gran Turismo Sport PlayStation 4 hardware bundle. This snazzy slab of circuitry comes in silver and black, and is adorned with the signature of Polyphony Digital’s premium racing series. We actually really like the...
News Sony's Really Ratcheting Up the Gran Turismo Sport Marketing
Join the human race
Gran Turismo is still technically Sony’s biggest franchise – even though we’d argue Uncharted gives it a run for its money these days. Nevertheless, you’d expect the platform holder to promote the upcoming Gran Turismo Sport pretty heavily ahead of its October release, and it’s just starting to put its foot on the gas...
News Gran Turismo Sport Will Apparently Not Have Microtransactions
Hmm
Gran Turismo Sport is evidently eyeing the fledgling service game model, with regular updates and improvements planned over a large span of time. As we’ve seen with the likes of Overwatch, continued development is usually funded through the sale of loot boxes or other trinkets, but series creator Kazunori Yamauchi says there won’t be any...

News Gran Turismo Sport Has the Best Photo Mode Ever Made
Scape believe
Gran Turismo Sport may be light on single player content, but one area it’s absolutely not lacking in is photography options.

News Gran Turismo Sport May Be in for a Tough Ride
Sim racer is already disappointing some
Gran Turismo Sport is being taken on tour ahead of its October release date, but the response is not all that positive at the moment. The reality is that Polyphony Digital has ditched the franchise’s car collecting origins in favour of a more online-focused experience. The campaign, then, will not see you...

News Documentary Details the Creation of Gran Turismo
Sports car superstar
True story: this author once sat opposite Kazunori Yamauchi (and Translator-san) eating a burger. A surreal moment, for sure. This documentary from IGN includes some nice anecdotes from the luminary, as he speaks of his passion for photography among other things, and sheds some light on what makes Gran Turismo such an enduring...
E3 2017 Gran Turismo Sport Still Doesn't Have a Firm PS4 Release Date

Fortunately, while the release's firm launch date still remains somewhat underwraps, Sony has released a classy new...

Hands On Behind the Wheel of Gran Turismo Sport
On track?
Are we allowed to write about this? Gran Turismo Sport's closed beta agreement terms specifically stipulate that the server stress test can't be talked about, but video platforms are filled with footage and public forums are chatting pretty openly about the racer. Hmm, for the purposes of this hands on preview, let's just pretend that...

News Keep an Eye Out for Gran Turismo Sport Beta Codes
Polyphony waves the checkered flag
Gran Turismo Sport's beta started a little while back, but only a very small selection of people got in.

News Gran Turismo Sport's Nurburgring Is PS4's Most Beautiful Thing
How is this even possible?
Polyphony Digital may take an age to make a game, but you know what they say: greatness awaits. If you thought that Gran Turismo Sport's recreation of Brands Hatch was spectacular, then wait until you feast your eyes on its Nurburgring.
