Gran Turismo 7, Polyphony Digital's driving sim, a sourced analysis
Gran Turismo 7 is a racing simulation developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. A summary of official information and three reviews of the PS5 version; this is not a hands-on TricknFix review.
Game trailer
Back to basics
Released on 4 March 2022 on PS5 and PS4, Gran Turismo 7 brings back the single-player career of the early games: buying, tuning and collecting cars, earning licences and racing, while keeping GT Sport's online modes. It celebrates car culture through its café, museums and many tracks.
What the press says
On PS5, Push Square (9/10) praises a sublime driving experience, a big single-player campaign, a smart approach to multiplayer, outstanding haptic feedback, lightning-fast loading and great weather effects, with only a slow main menu and some random elements as downsides. GamesRadar+ (4.5/5) lauds high-quality driving physics and a huge single-player offering, but finds single-player races more like OutRun than F1 and the PP balancing imperfect. VGC (3/5) likes the responsive driving and incredible visuals, but criticises clunky menus, terrible progression and dull history lectures.
Editions and prices
Checked on 12 November 2026, with no sale: on the PlayStation Store the game costs €79.99 on PS5 and €69.99 on PS4, and the PS5 25th Anniversary Digital Deluxe Edition costs €99.99. Credit packs sold separately are not counted.
Who is it for?
Car enthusiasts and sim fans who enjoy collecting and precise driving. Players in a hurry or who dislike menus may find progression slow.
