Gearheads the world over are bouncing up and down over Gran Turismo 7’s new gameplay showcase, and for a good reason.
Polyphony Digital always strives to push the envelope with its racing simulation series, and Gran Turismo 7 continues that ambition. This new incarnation aims to utilize the ray-tracing power of the PS5 so that rain-soaked racetracks properly shine while water droplets on a car’s windshield trickle and dry up realistically. It’s impressive, though perhaps not as cool as nighttime skies in Gran Turismo 7’s scientifically-accurate constellations depending on where a track is on the earth.

One of the more interesting new features in Gran Turismo 7 is the Café, which helps players track activities and progression. Better yet, the new Music Rally mode exists solely to let you enjoy music while driving through checkpoints, making it probably the most casual-friendly game type ever to grace this series. Even Forza Horizon 5 could take notes.
Gran Turismo 7 is coming out on March 4, 2022, for PS4 and PS5. The 25th Anniversary Edition also gives you a digital code for the PS4 version if you’re still looking for a PS5.
