Summary
Gran Turismo Sport is a mixed bag. Featuring the most detailed vehicle handling in the series, supported with impressive visuals, polished presentation, and an online component which can be addictive. Players will lose themselves in the Sport and Circuit Experience modes to shave off precious tenths-of-seconds. However, vehicle and track selection leave a lot to be desired, as does the lackluster audio. The single-player campaign feels like a shadow of its former self, and the inconsistent online penalty system can lead to some frustrating moments.

NewsIn a year which saw releases from the Gran Turismo, Project CARS and Forza Motorsport staples (not to mention countless other racing titles including a number of annual releases), you could argue that 2017 was the year of the racing genre. It is then very surprising to find out that the top 50 games of […]
NewsOne of our chief complaints about the online-focused Gran Turismo Sport was its distinct lack single player content. Unlike previous games in the series which featured a comprehensive campaign with hundreds of offline events to race in, Gran Turismo Sport focuses on online competitive eSports. In its initial release, single player content was limited to a […]
NewsSales for Gran Turismo Sport remain strong with the title holding onto third place in the very latest all-format UK sales charts courtesy of Chart Track.

NewsPolyphony has today released their very latest patch for Gran Turismo Sport which includes new features and some tasty new cars.

NewsA traditional singleplayer campaign mode will be introduced to Gran Turismo Sport in a free update scheduled for release sometime in December 2017. Heavily inspired by the 'GT Mode' setups in prior Gran Turismo games, the 'GT League' tasks players with completing an array of singleplayer races – with more events set to be added […]
NewsMore offline compatibility will headline Gran Turismo Sport's next free update, due for release on 27th November 2017. Though not the only addition in the v1.06 update, the extra offline functionality is the most prominent feature of the patch.

NewsThe latest addition to the long-running Vision Gran Turismo concept car initiative has been revealed in full at the Tokyo Motor Show. Created by the famed Italian coachbuilder Zagato, the IsoRivolta Vision Gran Turismo is a tribute to the classic Iso Rivolta from the 1960s – even though the VGT concept shares very few if […]
NewsThis December will represent 20 years since the Japanese launch of Gran Turismo, then in March next year we’ll hit the UK anniversary of the title. Having imported the Japanese version, I was busy working in a games shop selling GT at launch. Telling everyone how good it was, why they should buy it and […]
NewsGran Turismo takes the number one spot in the UK sales chart according to Chart-Track. Surprisingly, GT Sport's first week's sales actually outnumber those of the very first Gran Turismo title and Gran Turismo 6 (however they still fall well short of the series high of Gran Turismo 5 which clocked in at three times […]
NewsRacing games have left a lot to be desired on PSVR so far, but Gran Turismo Sport is showing some strong potential. Following our Gran Turismo Sport first look, we sampled the game in virtual reality using the PSVR headset and came away suitably impressed. Put simply, Gran Turismo Sport looks spellbinding in VR. Sadly, […]
NewsWe start our Gran Turismo Sport engines with a look at the Maggiore track which proves to be a tricky but ultimately satisfying track full of undulation as well as both high and low-speed sections. We were taken aback a little with the handling of our Alfa Romeo 4C (with traction control off) which seemed […]
NewsThe Peugeot L750 R Hybrid Vision Gran Turismo has been officially revealed, ahead of the launch of Gran Turismo Sport on 17th October 2017. As well as being the latest addition to the long-running Vision Gran Turismo initiative, the L750 R Hybrid is also Peugeot's second contribution to the Gran Turismo-associated concept car programme – […]
NewsFour years after it was originally announced, there's now just over a week to wait for the long-awaited release of Gran Turismo Sport on PS4. Ahead of its release, Sony's marketing campaign is gathering speed, as Gran Turismo Sport's complete car list has been revealed. And there are some glaring omissions, to say the least. […]
NewsIt's been an agonising four-year wait, but we're now only a few weeks away from the release of Gran Turismo Sport on PS4. Many fans will have already played the game ahead of the release by taking part in the invite-only closed beta, but for those who missed out and want to try the game […]
NewsSince it was first announced at the 2015 Paris Games Week, Polyphony Digital has been showing us how Gran Turismo Sport will potentially revolutionise online eSports racing and let you take preposterously pretty photos of cars in the new Scapes mode.

NewsIn light of the recent news that the GT Sport beta will be closing on July 26, it was only a matter of time before Polyphony Digital would announce a release date. However I believe it's fair to say that not many people was expecting one this soon: Gran Turismo Sport will be releasing on […]
NewsGT Sport was present at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed event which gave lucky attendees the chance to sample the very latest build from Polyphony Digital. One such attendee "aderrrm3" captured some gameplay showing a pit stop in action, which actually confirms the existence of mechanical damage. Upon entering the pits you will trigger […]
NewsI believe it's fair to say that we expected to see a firm release date for GT Sport at E3, however we were instead met with a release window of “Autumn 2017”. However, only a matter of days later, we may have stumbled across the actual release date thanks to the Official PlayStation Magazine UK. […]
NewsGran Turismo Sport will see the long-running and much-loved racing game series take somewhat of a side-step this year by focusing on the ever-growing eSports scene. Many fans have feared that the title will not scratch their Gran Turismo itch thanks to a lack of content which we've taken for granted over the years including […]
NewsConsidering it's Sony's leading first party racing game for the PS4, Gran Turismo Sport had a surprisingly lackluster showing at E3. While the Gran Turismo Sport E3 trailer was more rousing than the underwhelming initial reveal trailer and we finally got confirmation that the game will be released sometime this autumn, Gran Turismo Sport was […]
NewsGran Turismo Sport will go on sale during the autumn of 2017, developer Polyphony Digital has revealed. Though a more definitive launch date has yet to be disclosed for Gran Turismo Sport, Polyphony Digital does claim "details on the actual release date are planned to be announced soon".
