Gran Turismo 7 is now only a few months away – and a Japanese retailer has revealed some juicy new details.

According to a new pamphlet, GT7 will feature over 90 racing tracks, boasts 420 cars to race in and claims that all tracks have "realistic weather and scenery".



Translated by user PettyWingman on fan forum GT Planet, the free booklet handed out by Japanese shop Yodobashi Camera states that players can buy, sell and tune cars, and take advantage of a massive garage, allowing you to store a jaw-dropping 1000 vehicles. Turismo heads will also be pleased to hear that this pamphlet confirms the return of the GT mode, while suggesting that there will be a wide mix of both modern and classic cars for players to commander while disrespecting the tarmac.

Ahead of the racing sequel's March 4th release date, we now know when Gran Turismo 7 will be available to preload on PS5 as well as the game's file size.

According to PlayStation Game Size, GT7 will weigh in just shy of 90 gigs at 89.445GB. Note that subsequent updates and patches may increase this.

When can you play Gran Turismo 7 on PS5? Those who preorder the long-awaited PlayStation exclusive will be able to download the game from February 25, 2022. However, it won't activate until a couple of weeks later on March 4, 2022.

This date will herald the return of racing royalty, promising to be the richest Gran Turismo experience to date. It's been the best part of a decade since the last numbered game in the series, with GT Sport having taken an interesting detour to emphasise multiplayer and encouraging good sportsmanship out on the track.

Gran Turismo 7 will steer fans back to what they're most familiar with: an extensive single player campaign (which was only added after launch to GT Sport), the most lifelike visuals yet on PS5, and a huge lineup of cars to race in. Famed developer Polyphony Digital appears to be cherry picking the best bits from its flagship franchise. Although the wait has been long, there is hope GT7 will be a redefining hit when it launches in March.



Sony has released a new trailer called "Find Your Line/Lose Yourself" which hypes up DualSense integration, 3D audio and the game's oh-so stunning visuals. Check it out below.

The DualSense's adaptive triggers seemingly mimic the feel of accelerating and braking while the 3D audio support provides a more immersive aural experience. As for the visuals…well, even after so many trailers, Gran Turismo 7 still looks as incredible as ever. It will support 4K resolution with HDR and also target 60 FPS on PS5 along with supporting ray tracing (but only on replays).

Had a few races on it this morning. So far it is absolutely everything I loved about the older Gran Turismo games. I can't wait to put hours into it over the coming days and weeks.

A good tip for anyone using a controller and wanting to steer more consistently would be keep the left analogue pressed all the way forward coming up to turns and then rotate it along the edge whichever direction you want to steer. It's a much more natural steering motion than sliding it left or right, and you're using the stick like a wheel in many ways. I find it gives way more control of sticking to a racing line and hitting the apex this way.

That might be a painfully obvious tip for many and is probably common knowledge at this stage but I've only just started doing it. You'd need to turn the sensitivity well up though.
