    Rubbish microtransactions, always online requirements when servers are down, "pay to win", horrific communication and no desire to listen to fans. This is the most 'un-Playstation" game I have ever encountered.

    Micro transactions and cost of cars are killing this game
    Really bad credit rewards for races do not respect players time
    Lottery mechanic is completely broken and rewards always seem to favour the smallest credit prize Online connection required for single player is ridiculous, especially with amount of server downtime It is disgusting what Sony and Polyphony have done to this

    80 euros for this only to be aggressively forced toward incredibly expensive microtransactions to pick up rare cars is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY and utterly disrespectful.
    I bought a GT DD Pro set for this game. It is going back and I am getting a refund. I was also going to buy PSVR2 for it when available. Not now. Screw you Sony and Polyphony.

    Polyphony Digital should not get away with these kind of greedy manoeuvres. Enabling micro-transactions after critic reviews are up and then making in-game economy terrible - forcing users to spend money to avoid pointless grinds with an outdated AI.

    This review is in direct response to update 1.7 cutting all the race payouts to drive players to micro transactions. Before the update I would have recommended the game but now I just feel cheated and as you can read, so do a lot of people. MTX does not belong in a game we paid full price for. You cannot sell cars for credits like you could in every other GT game.

Unfortunately, they got greedy and had to go and mess up an otherwise great title. Miss me with "always online" requirements. I haven't been able to play the game for 2 days now because the server is down. When you pay $90 for a game, you deserve the right to play on your schedule. You also deserve the right to experience the full game without being pressured to purchase in game currency through the playstation store. The payouts for races are a joke and they've actively reduced them after release to prevent players from being able to obtain vehicles through a reasonable amount of gameplay. Want to buy a supercar on this game? You can either grind for weeks or spend $40 of real life money. Once you finish the brief career mode it's nothing more than a really pretty pay to play cell phone game with a next-gen $70-90 price tag. This is how they've decided to thank the community on the 25th anniversary of the series. Beyond disappointing. Expand

For any game this is unacceptable, for a $70 AAA game that's a Sony flagship it is difficult to comprehend. I waited a while to post this in hopes that PD would say or do something but their deafening silence says it all. They do not care about us, only money.

    Just to note my commitment before this games release - I bought the Fanatec GT DD wheel ($750) and a Next Level Racing F-GT cockpit ($650) to finally make the sim rig I've always wanted. Thankfully it won't gather dust as there are plenty of capable simulators on PC - however, I primarily purchased the items for GT7.

    Can’t play without a server connection. Predatory micro-transactions.

    Single player Races= no qualifiers, always last place, rolling starts where you pass as many cars for five or more laps. Rinse and repeat. Doesn’t matter what skill or how many gold medal you have, you are last! This is not a racing game.

However, right now, as things stand, it's almost impossible to the credits you need. Especially as the majority of cars are a million and above and long races giving you 30k after completion. The icing on the cake is the large "buy more credits here" after each race completion. Polyphony aren't even shy about how they're practically forcing you to spend real money... Keeping in mind it's £15 for 2mil in game credits which is nothing. Don't get me started on the roulette spins... After 70 or so pins, I am yet to get anything bar the last place prize out of 5 possible prizes. Disgustingly rigged. The driving itself is superb, fun, addictive and down right beautiful at times. However the fun is locked behind a gigantic rigged paywall. Also... I spent 1 mil on a car that I was later given and you CANNOT sell cars Expand

    Gran Turismo 7 is incredible... When it works.

    Unfortunately, the game requires an always-online connection to play the vast majority of its single-player modes, which are an enormous draw for any fan of the series. On March 17, 2022, less than two weeks after the game's launch, gamers discovered exactly why this practice is so disadvantageous for consumers. Gran Turismo 7's servers were taken offline due to maintenance related to a broken update, and most of the game became entirely unplayable, even for gamers who are uninterested in the online racing modes.

    This event gives a gamers a preview of the GT7's future. In a few years, when Sony and Polyphony Digital decide that it is no longer profitable to keep the servers running, any gamer who wants to experience a truly incredible racing sim will be entirely out of luck.

    Polyphony Digital and Sony's community would best be served by removing the always-online requirement.

    Micro transactions, low credit rewards, always starting at the back of the grid, always online.

    Game play physics are solid however if you want it to play online you will only get 28,000 Credits for coming first place in a 20 player race that takes 25mins.. now there are many cars that cost 10mill-20mill. So if you plan to focus online only it is stupid and pushed micro transactions hard

    This could have been a great game, but it was ruined by an online-only single player mode which means that you are at the whim of the developer/publisher as to when you can actually play the game. Add to that diminishing rewards that push you more & more towards microtransactions and this is a disaster of a game. This is the kind of thing you expect from free-to-play games, not $70 AAA titles.

    -remove micro-transactions
    -remove online only
    -add a new GT Mode where you start out the game with x amount of credits and get to buy your own car and participate in races you choose to do based on the license you have ALONGSIDE the cafe mode for car collecting -remove the terrible "chase the rabbit" races that are glorified overtaking challenges and either start the grid closer

    -remove online only
    -add a new GT Mode where you start out the game with x amount of credits and get to buy your own car and participate in races you choose to do based on the license you have ALONGSIDE the cafe mode for car collecting
    -remove the terrible "chase the rabbit" races that are glorified overtaking challenges and either start the grid closer together or with a grid start
    -add more events (especially endurance events) and separate the world circuits from the events
    -give the option to qualify in every single race
    -more generous rewards ESPECIALLY for custom races - credits plus chances to win cars
    -more varied sport mode - have actual daily races alongside weekly races - BoP mode and tuning modes
    -completely rework the used car dealership, update more and give more used cars
    -add a platinum trophy to each license and mission event that is very difficult to complete
    -give more camera options, such as chase cam presets, cockpit view without the wheel etc. the camera's need a lot of work

    A game is meant to be played for fun, it is not meant to be a job or a chore to complete. That is the current state of GT Mode. A chore. The way the game is set up now is called padding, extremely slow progress in order to incentivise paying real world money for credits. This would only be acceptable if the game were free. Grinding itself is not the problem but the amount you have to do and the boring races you have to play to grind. And of course an online only game means that you cannot play a game you have paid for when it goes down for maintenance for 2 days as of writing. This is just the tip of what is wrong with online only games, in 5 or so years this game's servers will go down and it will never be a full experience again, it NEEDS to go. There is a salvageable game somewhere here but Polyphony Digital need to step up and rescue this series. The promise of more cars and tracks is no longer enough this won't fix the fundamental problems this game has currently.

    It’s really unacceptable of Polyphony to make changes to the amount of credits being given for races when they also sell in game money. It’s just as scummy that they made the game have to connect online and then the servers are done for most of a day.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was an enjoyable game until this 1.07 update. The fact that you can’t play 90% of the game without connecting online is unfortunate however the lack of communication regarding the prolonged maintenance shutdown is pathetic. Real regrets about this game now, especially since it’s now obvious about their p2p mentality. What a shame Expand

    Seriously $70 for a game and now I have to grind incessantly or pay money like it's some free phone game? I don't have the time or money. Way to ruin a game. I'd return it if I could. I don't know if it will work but I reported them for bait and switch fraud with the FTC.

    £70 for this game. £70. For them to add a roulette wheel boasting lovely prizes and cash only to give you the smallest cash prize every time. Also, invitations to purchase cars that are limited time to encourage you to buy credits from their shop is so manipulative it beggars belief. Shameful business practice.

You are either required to spend hundreds of dollars, if not thousands honestly, on credits through microtransactions then you are required to spend 60+ hours of pure grinding to buy only a couple of the most expensive cars in the game. And that’s 60+ hours if you’re good at the game and successful with your grind. No one can do that. That’s not even getting into the online only single player, rigged roulette tickets and broken physics model. Until they correct the credit system I literally cannot afford to proceed in the progression of this game. Expand

    Gran Turismo 7 has the potential to be *incredible* but, sadly, the push for microtransaction revenue has basically ruined it. Always online and the servers aren't even reliable. Lack of career and progression content. This is a cyberpunk-level bad launch.

    There is a good game past all of these issues but they are far too glaring and intrusive for me to recommend that anyone buys this.

    I genuinely feel sorry for the developers. They have built a great game. The execs have come in and made them ruin it. This is a £70 game. It shouldn't have microtranscations. They need to:
    - Remove the micro transactions completely
    - Remove always online requirement
    - Increase race payouts
    - Reduce car prices
    - Better odds for the lottery tickets
    - Remove the invitation system. What an awfully evil concept. It's clear what this system is for.

    30+ hour server outage, little-to-no communication in the meantime, all to, as we understand, make the economy even more punishing than it already was. Add on top of that the very poor multiplayer experience and you've got yourself a wholly disappointing game.

    The game is fun, the grind is not. This is an 80 eur game, in which you lack content after finishing the cafe races, content locked behind daily "roulette spins", cars that cost literally over a hundred hours of racing (that is pre-update, by the way).
    The only updates so far have been aimed at making it more grindy and mtx-y, not to add content or make it more enjoyable. Sad to see

    The score represents the amount of content playable right now.

    Though I have no interest in the online component of the game and only play single-player games, all of the single-player features are locked behind a required online collection.

    With the servers being down for over 24 hours, the game is essentially unplayable right now.

    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.
