Free Gran Turismo 7 PSVR2 Update Confirmed for Launch

Glad we have a racing game I guess. Just wish it was one I hadn’t already completely finished and got the plat for. That’ll teach me to not buy pancake games.

Cool it’s a free update though. Hopefully Beat Saber has a free upgrade path too.

We need a virtual wheel now

Great announcement. Anyone expecting anything more......well you where warned, its a CES show. Hopefully some full show/state of play before release. I do agree though that putting the PSVR2 thumbnail maybe got people's hopes up of something major. Wee bit naughty Sony

Can we not get a vr 1 update aswell it's not like gt7 is much of a graphical upgrade over sport it's pretty much the same & it's only really going to be turning your head abit lol was pretty underwhelmed with the vr for sport aswell since it wasn't the entire game that was playable in vr

I'm guessing Sony doesn't have too bad a relationship with Facebook, given Beat Saber is also coming to PSVR.

Oh man this has me tempted to preorder vr2 again since I'd already have a "big" vr game out of the box. Send help.

@thefourfoldroot1 "pancake games" 😂

If its the full game, ill be saving pennies for the headset.

100%!!!

This could be a real big help to PSVR2 if the full game is indeed supported. I can't think of a more fitting game to receive an update for the tech.

This was awesome. Sure hope it’s the full game, but who can complain about ‘free’?

checks to see if I have a spare $550 lying around

@Would_you_kindly are you playing gt7 on a ps4 or ps5? Because the ps5 version of the game definitely looks noticeably different from Gt sport.

@4kgk2 ps5 & looks the same to me 🤷‍♂️

Great news. I was hoping for this. Racing is what I use VR on my PC the most for. All I need now is F1.

@Would_you_kindly the cars in gt7 have way higher resolution and more detail than the cars in gt sport. Gt sport is still really pretty for a ps4 game.

Simply amazing what ive been loking forward too.

nice, my first VR experience will be this game.

Day 1 is going to be insane!!!! Amazing stuff. I can’t wait to play this. Gran Turismo Sport was amazing in VR. Just feature light.

With the huge leap in quality from Sport to 7. This is going to be great. Like horror in VR, racing in VR takes it to the next level.

@4kgk2 I've been using a Sony bravia from 2014 for years & it's resolution is 1080p so it wouldn't make a difference on my tv lol

Combined with the visuals the Tempest audio will make this epic in VR

This is the news I was hoping for. 100% getting PSVR 2 now. GT7 was my most played game of 2022.

This is insane news people!!

@Would_you_kindly So you use 1080p TV and say that new games are looking same as older games? When nowadays 4k is everywhere? Your comments value about gaming visual experience dropped down

If you want to enjoy games truly, then switch to QD Oled. Sony model is very expensive, but Samsung same panel is lot more affordable. Your eyes will be surprised.

@NEStalgia
Lol, I guess “pancake games” could be seen as a funny term. It’s pretty standard in the VR community though.

Yeeeeeesssssssss!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS! NOTHING MORE JUST YES!!!!

@REALAIS I've had a few 4K TVs before honestly could barely tell a difference between HD & 4K & I'll get an oled when they aren't over 600 quid lol

This is excellent if not totally surprising news. I am disappointed in the lack of PSVR2 info from this presentation even though I tried to temper my expectations with it being CES. Would have been great if Sony had announced a few more in-house VR projects and confirmed if there would be a pack-in demo disc as with VR Worlds for PSVR though.

@Gooseman42 There aren't even any VR2 updates on the PS blog FFS. Really hoping there's a state of play in the next few weeks.

Quite confident we should start hearing more from devs soon at least. I'm assumong their embargoes were awaiting CES or another as-yet-unannounced event.

GT7 is one of the few I skipped at launch, but I'd rather play it for a bit with the VR headset so I'm fine with that.

@Would_you_kindly it will look different in your VR headset though, as the resolution is in 4K and 2,000 x 2040 per eye, with eyetracking too (meaning it only renders what your pupil is looking at).

I was so hoping for this news. If its going to be the full game it's a big addition to the psvr2 line up.
Ever since I played project cars 2 on my PC vr setup I've loved the immersion it brings. With gt7 visuals, racing and dynamic weather, this could really help push psvr2 sales.

I really enjoyed the limited VR experience with GT Sport so this has now had me looking for pre orders of VR2 which I was going to wait on.
Are pre orders for VR2 headset only via Sony at the minute??

I’m not even into racing sims but this might make me get the game if only to check it out (or is there a PS+ trial?).
@Mostik If there is a PS Direct where you live, then yes, I believe so.

This was the game i was waiting for but im still holding off to see what content is available at launch. If its the full game i will buy it if its anything like the lackluster GT sport then it can do one.

I have been praying for this for so long lmao

@Would_you_kindly Racing games are supposedly some of the most demanding titles in VR, which is why GT Sports PSVR was so downgraded from the flat version.

If they were to make a PSVR1 version of GT7 it would probably look like "Thomas Was Alone-Kart".

Nice one Sony, let’s hope it works on all race types. Cannot wait!

As disappointed as I was with some of the business decisions Sony made that ruined the experience for me, I'll still say the core gameplay in GT 7 is great so for people who can look past some of the other bs, this is will be a fantastic early addition to their PSVR 2 library.

too bad it's a online only game.

@Perturbator it would just look the same as GT sport did which is fine lol I've got driveclub vr & that's really good

@Would_you_kindly PS4 isn't powerful enough to run GT Sport full races in VR, let alone GT7 full races .

This is why I keep telling you the PS4 needs to be left behind, it's old outdated tech now.

@Discol76 More? lol
Dude, that was all I wanted to hear. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
VR is perfect for driving games. I'm so glad I preordered this thing. Cannot wait.

@Art_Vandelay I said it was a "great announcement" 🤷‍♂️ Delighted with GT7 VR. Just highlighting that Sony possibly made it out that there would be more to tell. I wasn't expecting more due to it being an industry show. I think you may have misunderstood my comment. The "more" bit was in reference to others expecting more from a CES show👍

finally, finally, FINALLY! that's it, I'm in full-on excitement mode now because everything is coming up milhouse right now! 😃 l knew it was pretty much guaranteed, but I'm so glad to have confirmation that GT7 will be on psvr2 for launch, so glad. if online racing is available.... 🤪🥴😍

I wasn't that interested in GT, really - I'm sorry, but I prefer arcade racers to realism.

I wasn't that interested in PSVR, not at that price and without a compelling game.

Put the two together, though, and...dang, I'm intrigued. I'll wait to see more details on what's included on the VR side, and my wallet still doesn't like the idea, but a realistic racer with VR is a lot more interesting to me than either by itself.

@Discol76 I know, I know.. Just wanted to highlight how big that announcement was for so many people. It might have been the most anticipated piece of news for me since.. honestly, I don't even know.

@Art_Vandelay Glad you're as excited as me 😃

@TrickyDicky99 no it's not this is the reason they stated that sport wouldn't include the full game in vr : 'One thing we discovered in developing and doing the VR, to do the whole game playable in VR is going to be a strain on the players.'

The base PS4 couldn't run GT Sport full races. Before the game came out there were people playing full races on the Pro but the base PS4 couldn't handle it. It would of been so cutback and low res that it would be a strain to players eyes

@Would_you_kindly Never tried Driveclub VR but I heard it was a bit blurry. Shame that Sony let that dev go though, a Driveclub 2 on PSVR2 would have been amazing.

@Perturbator it is abit blurry still really fun though & yeah honestly prefer driveclub to gran turismo

System seller for me. Loved GT Sport VR despite how limited it was, expect this to blow it out of the water.
