    25+ years of goodwill now down the drain!
    No amount of patches will fix the always-online and micro-transactions because it's built into the base game.

    Dear Kazunori Yamauchi and GT team, I am profoundly disappointed in the business model you've chosen for the GT franchise.

As a long-time GT fan, since playing with my Dad back on the Playstation 1, I am shocked at the blatant microtransaction scheme, anemic "career" mode, poor off-road rally physics, lack of standard grid starts in favor of rolling starts in single-player races, and the multitude of design decisions clearly made to extract the most money from your dedicated fans. No you can't just give your players 1 million credits to appease fans without significant changes. Online DRM requirement for single-player career is inexcusable. I regret my digital purchase and wish I had the disc to sell. Can't believe I bought a special GT Fanatec wheel for this. The worst part is that there is clearly a lot of love and effort brought to the cars and the racing overall is fantastic. What a shame. Expand

    For a game that's $125 is australia I would expect all the content to be unlocked, except it's isn't and now they want me to pay for cars, new tracks and spend hundreds of hours grinding for a car

    Your can't even play single player without internet connection, and every race is a trolling start. What a water of a game. Cyberpunk was better than this!

    Dropping one point for the fact that it's always online and another for the live service nonsense, but otherwise the game is absolutely perfect. Easily one of the best GTs. Although I'm bummed about the transition to the live service model, I'm sure Polyphony will continue to improve the game by adding much needed features like selling cars, higher payout events, etc.

    Sony has made the flagship race simulator franchise into an online-only, microtransaction-filled abomination.

    They said: "how can we maximize profits with this game?" And it reeks of corporate design. Say 'NO' to games that require an online connection. Say 'NO' to games that try to milk you with microtransactions, in-game "currency", etc. Pure shameless cash grab.

Or at all if there is a 32 (!) hour server maintenance lockingDON'T buy this game. Imagine a full price console game with more agressive microtransactions than most free mobile games. And mandatory updates which can just halve the price money you receive from events. Mandatory because this is an online-only singleplayer game which you can't play without updating to the latest version. Or at all if there is a 32 (!) hour server maintenance locking everyone from playing most singleplayer content. As compensation, players received 1 million credits which equals 1/18 of a McLaren F1. Does this mean we have to experience 17 more server maintenances of this caliber to just afford this one car? Sony's answer would probably be: "You can just spend a couple of hundred dollars to instantly receive the McLaren! No waiting involved in that!" Yes, we're talking hundreds of actual dollars for a single car.
    And if that isn't bad enough, the ingame physics are weird as well. All cars with rear-wheel drive are literal death machines unless you purchase the best tires which by the way are more expensive than some new cars in this game. You expect a 200 HP car to not spin out in 4th gear at 50 mph and half-throttle? You expect a modern Ferrari to be able to turn in about 0.5 degrees at 130 mph without starting to slide and just rotate? You also expect being able to correct situations in which any of this occurs with correct countersteering inputs? Then Polyphony disappoints you in all 3 points. GT7 leaves you more afraid of driving a 300 HP rear-wheel drive car with racing tires than a 900 HP AWD car on sports tires most of the time. So maybe you want to race something else to calm down from your stressful RWD experiences on the racetracks. Like Rally.
    But then you realize that after every single jump (of which there are many on most rally tracks) your car will have an absolutely random and unphysical reaction to hitting the ground. Total loss of control guaranteed in most cases, I hope you like rotating 180° for no reason. The AI does not struggle with this of course.
    Speaking of driving against the AI: In all (!) single player races you'll start the race rolling in last place with all cars spaced out with huge distances between them. Resulting in the 1. place being 30 to 40 seconds ahead of you when starting the race. That's right, if in a 5 lap race you are not consistently EIGHT SECONDS faster per lap than the 1st place drivers, you can't get a win. So the only viable option becomes driving cars which overpower all opponents, turning the race into a time trial with moving obstacles. No actual racing against others involved.
    To repeat my first statement: Don't buy Gran Turismo 7. 95% of the content (cars and tracks) is recycled from GT Sport anyways. Whenever a new Need For Speed or Forza comes out I'm excited to have a look at the car list to see brand new sports cars, facelifted versions and recently released special editions of cars. Try to find any car in GT7 which is newer than 2017, that's a pretty hard task. Does a 2012 Tesla Model S sound exciting enough for you? At least it's more exciting than the visual novel like presentation of the main "campaign" (if you can call it that). Nothing is voiced, just static never-changing images of people with dialogue boxes. Blatant lazyness strikes again and again.

    I am 49 years old and been playing computer games since Asteroids and Pacman and SpectrumZX, I have played all GT games, I am a huge fan of the series, and this is the first time I want to review a GT game to express some serious aggravation. I'll try to be as objective as possible.

    The game is brilliant, albeit a bit short (Cafe is over in under 30, even 25 hours easily). Graphics,
    I am 49 years old and been playing computer games since Asteroids and Pacman and SpectrumZX, I have played all GT games, I am a huge fan of the series, and this is the first time I want to review a GT game to express some serious aggravation. I'll try to be as objective as possible.

    The game is brilliant, albeit a bit short (Cafe is over in under 30, even 25 hours easily). Graphics, sounds, music, physics, controls, all are excellent or at least, very good. That's it for the positives.

    - Always online even for the single-player is unwanted, unwarranted and plain frustrating. You can't play the game if the servers are down, and what happens at end-of-life ? You're left with a useless box. I get the "online" thing when it comes to multiplayer, online races etc, but this strategy is meaningless for single-player and it became painfully obvious just days after release.
    - Grinding is a part of GT, always was, BUT it had some purpose and clear net "profits" until GTS. After 1.07/1.08 update especially, it's just plain useless, I can't grind for 330 races and 20 hours !!!! to buy a SINGLE legendary car
    - Microtransactions (Sony and PD playing it loose with "micro") should NOT EVEN EXIST in a full-priced AAA game. I won't even go into the whole "store was hidden from reviewers in order to get favorable reviews", which is plain straight scam.
    - To add insult to injury, Kaz said that "he wished players could enjoy the full game even, EVEN, EVEN without microtransactions". THAT'S WHY WE BOUGHT IT AT FULL PRICE!!!
    - I won't go into the pricing of the cars and the microtransactions (MICRO !!!! at 20euros), because they are highway robbery at best, because again, they shouldn't EVEN EXIST in a full-priced AAA game.

    Anyway, since I finished Cafe, Licences and Missions, since I don't have the time, nor want to grind and I obviously won't pay a single euro in their microtransactions, there is nothing else to do in this game, so I'm putting it away and waiting to see how Sony and PD update GT7 in the future

    People mostly are acting all 'outraged' by the 'pay to win' 6-year-olds playing Roblox type transactions.. the brilliant Sony executives seem to think is a great idea.

    Very disappointed in a full price game, with free to play micro transactions. Avoid. Considering a move to Xbox.

    One of the best racing games I've played in years! Everything about this game is amazing! Graphics, Gameplay, Sound Quality. The only fault this game has is that it needs more Chevys

    My Fault for not looking at reviews before purchase.

    Always online DRM and extremely grindy progression. Have not seen a game like this that really does not respect your time as a player.

    Not worth your money unless you are the biggest driving fan and can get this game on extreme sale.

    The micro-transaction system and forced networking have seriously affected the game experience. A car even costs tens of dollars to buy, so what's the point of paying for the game?

    Regret purchase. Buy only if you love to repeat the same race/mission for hundreds times. Yea, the drive is great, graphics and sound can’t complain, but you need to keep doing the same thing in order to save credits buying a car is ridiculous.

    Warn you, in real world if you ride a car and don’t like it you can sell it and get other things you like. Not in GT7, you need to sit there and do hundreds races again to buy another car… Microtransaction is a joke. The cars are so expensive you better save the money and get another console, racing in another platform. That’s a better investment of time and money and I think I couldn’t even sell my GT7 disc, no one wants it nowadays…

    absolutely shocking game you'll have more chance of getting a McLaren F1 in real life then in-game, that is unless you're willing to grind the same boring race for 90hrs or pay £200 in microtransactions.

    They game is ok for the first week and then it is no better than GT Sport.
    Graphics are great, controller feedback is great.
    Not worth £65+

    Great core game like all the rest I've played in the series BUT these micro transactions, ridiculous grinding to buy overpriced cars, can't sell your cars, then you need to be online to access the main game.

    There is almost no picture improvement, but the expensive game price contains a lot of internal purchase systems. The benefits of playing are pitiful. Please don't buy it.

    They have destroyed the game with micro transactions and making earning money from races so much harder.

    They also allowed you to sell cars when the reviewers had time with the game then release day they removed the feature

    UPDATE: PD released a new statement about an upcoming update that should give more ways to earn credits along with a 1million credit gift to everyone affected by the outage. I'll wait for the update and adjust my score accordingly.

    The core racing feels excellent. The graphics are good, but I wouldn't say great. The cafe menu campaign is actually really well done and a great way to help
    UPDATE: PD released a new statement about an upcoming update that should give more ways to earn credits along with a 1million credit gift to everyone affected by the outage. I'll wait for the update and adjust my score accordingly.

    The core racing feels excellent. The graphics are good, but I wouldn't say great. The cafe menu campaign is actually really well done and a great way to help non-hardcore players into the game(like myself). Overall I had a lot of fun with the game and there is a lot to like.

    However, two major issues bring the score way down. Always online, I actually wasn't worried about this as I always have internet. However, a basic patch ended up bringing the game offline for over a day. This is not an mmo, the always online is mainly to save your progress. And the bigger issue, the cost of vehicles vs the amount you earn. It was already at a point where you would probably only experience 15% of the vehicles without grinding. Then with the latest patch they greatly reduced the earnings of many races that we could previously grind. Now it is nigh on impossible to unlock anymore high end vehicles unless you pay for DLC.

    If you go in knowing you only will have access to about 15% of the car lineup after completing most of the SP content, then go for it, still a good game. However, if this is not okay(and you don't like always online), vote with your wallet.

    I wasted money buying this game. I expected at least the single player is available offline. I hate that the online is required. Even Shaq Fu is a better deal than this.

    Most payouts have been cut to make people buy credits instead. Would not recommend until they revert this decision and add more content and missing features/options.

    Gran Turismo 7 has a lot of good and plenty of great. The use of DualSense and the particularly well-tuned loading is exemplary, and there's a huge amount of work behind the game, with a lot of detail that's almost hard to believe at times. [Issue#318]

    Gran Turismo 7 brings to the tracks every single thing fans always wanted: the GT Mode everyone loves, plenty of customization options, car loads, classic scenarios and one of the best DualSense and 3D Audio experiences the PS5 has to offer. This is the best Gran Turismo experience we have ever seen in a long time.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise's traditional formula gets good improvements, but it's still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5.
