We can expect to learn more about Gran Turismo 7 in the coming months, but we do know a few things about what we can expect when we finally get to play it next year.
GT Simulation Mode will be back, so the single-player campaign will be a focus of the game – along with multiplayer to race against your friends. Special Events, Championships, Driving School and traditional racing tracks and vehicles will be featured too while GT Sport Mode, Brand Central and Discover are all making a comeback following their introduction in Gran Turismo Sport.
One thing we can be sure of is that the game will look stunning on the new PS5 console and it will take advantage of the functionality that the stylish dual-sense controller has. The thought of playing this in 4K HDR and at 60 frames per second is certainly one that is making 2022 feel a long way off.
