New Gran Turismo Sport Info Revealed, Including Release Date

The long-awaited release of Gran Turismo Sport has a release date at last, following on from last year’s delays, and we also have a few extra snippets of information about the game too
New Gran Turismo Sport Info Revealed, Including Release Date

At E3 last month, we got a bit closer to finding out when Gran Turismo Sport was going to be released with the news of a ‘release window’. Now, we’ve got the official date.

Yep, GT Sport is coming to PlayStation 4 on the 17 October in North America and 18 October in Europe. The game’s creator Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed the news in a blog post for PlayStation.

The news also brought with it a new release date trailer, showing off the awesome-looking visuals and impressive car diversity in GT Sport. We’ll apparently hear a lot more about the game before its launch in October.

More information on the campaign mode, various creative tools and reveals of all the cars and tracks are all things racing gamers are looking forward to hearing about ahead of the game’s launch.

The release date confirmation follows on from the closed BETA phase, which has just been completed. Game creators are now entering the “final stages of polishing”.

They’ve been polishing for a while, though. The game was originally scheduled for release last November, but a few months before that, it was delayed in order to fine-tune and continue working on the game.

So, we’ve been waiting a while for GT Sport, but hopefully it’ll be worth it. After all, the game promises improved graphics, physics and sounds, as well as new FIA online championships, tracks, cars and Porsches – for the first time in a Gran Turismo game.

  • Gran Turismo Sport Collector’s Edition
  • Gran Turismo Sport Steel Book Edition
  • Gran Turismo Sport Day 1 Edition
  • Gran Turismo Sport Digital Deluxe Edition

The Digital Deluxe and Steel Book editions come with loads of new cars, while the Collector’s Edition has even more exclusive cars plus an APEX booklet. See this page for all the details on the other editions, as there are quite a few extras.

I read somewhere that there’s only like 7 or 8 locations. Is this still true? Any more information on tracks?

so, the collectors edition adds 18 cars to the 137-ish that should be on the game or are they included in that number and anyone who gets the standard edition just takes 119 cars?

I’m not sure on this but when it says it adds 18 cars, I think it means you get a free 18 cars added to your garage, which you don’t have to buy.

Grew up on GT gave up after 4. Got into forza only because of customization. When GT5 came out I ran out to get it. Popped it in and was disappointed. Graphics were awesome. Physics were great. The problem? The freakin camera.

I can’t stand that camera behind the car and it feels as if the car is static and just the world is moving around.

The in cabin looks insane in this game. The outside view looks to be the same though.

This looks more like GT5: Prologue than a direct sequel to GT6.
