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...

It's been a bit of an arduous wait, but Gran Turismo Sport beta codes are finally being sent out in Europe ahead of this Easter weekend's online racing sessions. Check your emails to see if you've got in, which will take you to a webpage including a code and additional information on the server stress test itself. The client weighs in at...
News Gran Turismo Sport Adds Porsches As EA License Expires
And the beta comes to Europe this weekend
If you didn't know, for the longest time EA has had exclusive rights to the Porsche license in racing games, but that deal expired recently waving the green flag for Gran Turismo Sport to add the favourites to its roster of racing cars. And the first screenshots of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS have finally hit the...

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. Now it seems developer Polyphony Digital is ready to expand the starting grid, as we're seeing lots of reports of Americans who are suddenly getting access to the 13GB server stress test. You'll know you're 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. This is obviously replay footage so the visuals are turned up to eleven, but even at...
News Finally Some Direct-Feed Footage of Gran Turismo Sport's PS4 Beta
Holy moly
We've been posting about Gran Turismo Sport's recently released PlayStation 4 beta for a few days now, but most of the footage has come courtesy of compressed livestreams. Finally, a YouTube user has taken the time to whip out their capture card and grab a few minutes of footage running in 1080p at 60 frames-per-second, though. And the...
News Gran Turismo Sport Is Sounding So Much Better Now
Va va voom
That delay to Gran Turismo Sport seems to have done the game the world of good. Not only does its beta look absolutely mind-blowing from a visual perspective, but those who got in have been commentating on how much better the sound is, too. Obviously long-time fans will know that the franchise has been criticised for its vacuum cleaner...
News Gran Turismo Sport's Really Looking Great in Beta
One hour of PS4 footage
It was supposed to release last year so it's no surprise to see Gran Turismo Sport's beta looking more polished than a showroom supercar. The sampler launched for a select number of players in North America today and already streams are starting to pop up around the web. While we're sure better quality footage will emerge...
News Gran Turismo Sport's Closed PS4 Beta Goes Green from 17th March
Drive of your life
What madness is this? An update on Gran Turismo Sport? We'd assumed that Sony was just going to ride out the remainder of the generation saying nothing about the simulation racer which was due out months ago, but instead it's announced a closed beta is scheduled to get underway in little over a week. Oh, okay then. Starting from...

PSX 2016 Gran Turismo Sport's New PS4 Trailer Races Into View
HDR for days
Gran Turismo Sport, or as we like to call it HDR: The Videogame, copped a new trailer at Sony's PlayStation Experience press conference today. The clip shows off all the game's neat visual tricks, while touting its ability to be played in 4K and PlayStation VR. Will you be grabbing Gran Turismo Sport when it

Video Does Gran Turismo Sport Look Better on PlayStation VR Than DriveClub?
Yes, it does – on PS4 Pro, anyway
Evolution Studios clearly worked incredibly hard on DriveClub VR, but the results are… Not great. The defunct developer did a great job shoehorning the entire original onto PlayStation VR, but the headset just couldn't match the studio's ambition, balancing crystal clear dashboards against blurry circuits. It's...
News Gran Turismo Sport May Have Finally Fixed the Series' Crap Sounding Cars
Exhausting
It's no secret that Gran Turismo, Sony's flagship racing series, has long suffered from poor audio work. The roaring engines found in similar speed-'em-ups usually make Gran Turismo's cars sound like toys rather than beastly automobiles - but developer Polyphony Digital may have finally turned things around with Gran Turismo Sport, says...

Gamescom 2016 Gran Turismo Sport Dazzles with Pretty PS4 Screens
Nurburg bling
Gran Turismo Sport didn't have the best reveal, but it's been gradually improving with every showing, and it's looking dazzling at Gamescom 2016. To coincide with the convention, Sony's released some new screenshots showing off the simulation racer in all of its glory – and it's insanely pretty, as you'd probably expect. While...

E3 2016 PS4 Exclusive Gran Turismo Sport's Looking Awesome Now
Back on track
Remember how Gran Turismo Sport's reveal was really underwhelming? Well, it only took Polyphony Digital a month to get it up to scratch. The game looked pretty stunning on the E3 2016 show floor, and even its audio's a little better. The title's most recent trailer was also lightyears ahead of its debut – makes you wonder why it was...
News Gran Turismo Sport's Epic E3 2016 Trailer Runs Rings Around Its Reveal
Much better
This is more like it. Gran Turismo Sport's reveal trailer was pretty darn disappointing to say the least, but Polyphony Digital's come good with this feature length E3 2016 clip. The video's designed to showcase all of the PlayStation 4 exclusive racer's headline features, including its immaculate attention to detail, e-sports angle, and...

News Gran Turismo Sport Looks Much Better Than You Think on PS4
An eye-opening comparison
Gamers would never overreact, would they? Gran Turismo Sport has been rubbished in some online circles following its reveal last week, with many suggesting that the PlayStation 4 exclusive barely improves upon Gran Turismo 6. That's not strictly true, however, as these comparison videos show that, visually at least, the...
News Let's Look at Gran Turismo Sport's Various PS4 Versions
Pick your poison
Mixed response to the reveal or not, Gran Turismo Sport is going to be a big, big release. And as is the case for all major titles, the PlayStation 4 exclusive has more pre-order bonuses and collector's editions than we know what to do with. As a result, we're going to break this article down between Europe and North America, and...
