    I enjoyed this game at launch and had high hopes, but between the excessive micro transactions, and removal of reasonable organic in-game credit earning I am now beyond frustrated. The game is literally down for maintenance for them to nerf these organic money earning methods further. Trash game model.

    Payed 100 Euros for this game only to fine out is is a cashgrab scheme. This should be a game where "normal" people could enjoy hypercars and classics. But the only way to enjoy these cars now is to grind for 40 hours to buy a classic Jag, or buy credits through microtransactions for over 50 Euros. Good work Polyphony destroying your one and only game. Great job losing all your long time fans.

This game falls stunningly short of previous installments, even the recent Gran Turismo Sport. GT Sport, at launch, was maligned and panned - over time, GT Sport became a fuller game. Even GT Sport felt like a fuller and more developed game than this. GT Sport had exorbitantly expensive cars but also had an in game economy that worked such that you could work towards expensive cars relatively quickly even as a casual player by just sort of playing the game in way that you found enjoyable. You could sell cars you had purchased and no longer needed (or got a duplicated of as a gift later).

    In GT7, there is not really a fully developed campaign/career/solo mode. There wasn't in Sport, either, but PD placated us all by saying that was mostly an online game to tide us all over to a return to form in GT7. GT7 has a markedly more sparse singleplayer gameplay than Sport. This, coupled with extremely low race payout, invitation only cars, and seemingly core gameplay elements of car tuning locked behind raffle tickets screams as a somewhat shameless pivot to a micro-transaction model. That would be fine in a free to play mobile game but is frankly insulting in a AAA studio release of a new installment of what had, to this point, been a core pillar of the entire console's ecosystem. Really disappointing and frustrating. Ultimately going to put this game aside as a casual player - playing a few hours a week without any reasonable way of earning in game credits would lead to six, seven, eight months of time to earn enough credits for a single medium value car of a couple million credits, let alone the top value 20-million credit cars. Extremely frustrating. Unless the game gets both more substantial single-player content AND un-breaks its economy, this will be a forgettable title.    … Expand

    This release of a "franchise" was a major disappointment and disaster for future games. Not only is this game pay to win but its also full of bugs oh and grinding has officially been kicked in the nuts because they nerfed the payouts of 85% of the high pay races. Being said, keep you money u might as well buy forward shaking my head.

    It's a beautiful game with amazing physics, a very fun racer to play. The problem however lies in all the bundled up BS that comes with modern gaming. Microtransactions, roulette tickets for high performance upgrades you CANNOT buy (making it almost impossible to get engine swaps or the best turbo in the game), and a lack of content at launch.

    Horribly bungled mess of a launch. For the amount of time we have waited for a faithful continuation of the Gran Turismo series, we get a game with significantly lees content that GT Sport.

    Above and beyond this, prohibitive microtransaction-driven gameplay has ruined a once excellent and innovative series.

    Blatant Pay To Win and Promotion of Microtransactions. Examples as follows:

    1.07 patch nerfed the most economical time/credit earned farming method. Roulette wheel is not RNG, its there to show you the cars/items you are missing out on. Limited Time Invitation to Buy cars, steering you to MTX as its unlikely players can earn the required credits in game in the time required.

    Game is 99% online only- advertising to purchase Credits.
    The best cars are obscenely expensive.
    Cannot sell cars for credits,

    Otherwise- AI is terrible, hasnt improved since GT1.
    Rally physics are terrible and worse than previous titles, do them well or dont bother.
    No quali, no grid starts, no endurance races- assume these will come via paid DLC in due course.

    Hopefully they do a No Mans Sky and actually take in the feedback of fans (just dont take 2 years), as this is the worst entry in the franchise. i am a fan from GT1 and have played every entry to death.

    Do not buy this game. I did and wish I could get my money back. Been a huge fan over the years. MTX and greed has ruined a once great franchise. The newest update has nerfed the most farmable races too, Reducing the total for winning by more than half in some cases. Buy an XBOX and play Forza. Get a PC and play iRacing. Asetto Corsa Competezione is a much better sim as well. Bye bye PD

    While Gran Turismo 7 has the skeleton of a good game the business practices of the developers screams of predatory behavior trying to skew more micro transactions. I want nothing more than to love this game, but it’s hard to see how this is an improvement upon Gran Turismo Sport and anything more than a cash grab.

    This is really the first time I've seen a dev removing things instead of fixing/adding things through a patch. This is so baffling. Whoever made the decision to reduce the race earnings, you are making a huge mistake and a disservice to your fan base.

    Microtransactions beware. Bought the game at full price at launch after the press reviews. Sony revealed the MTX after launch and totally designed the ingame economy to push MTX. The scam has been pushed further after 1.07, they went above and beyond and reduced the already low prize payouts. You can’t even sell your own cars for money. Delay your buy until Sony fixes their game.

    It’s was a grind enough before. 16 hours in game time for the most expensive car. Now after the 1.07 patch it will be over 35 hours. All to push the micro transactions collect all the cars you are looking at years to have enough credits. This was a 90$ game.

    Sony / Polyphony Digital have gone the way of EA etc with anti-consumer decisions.

    It already took much longer than previous GT titles to earn enough credits to pay for many vehicles, but I guess sales of the heavily pushed micro transactions weren’t as high as they’d expected, so they nerfed the reward amounts on the most popularly farmed races in the latest update.

    Speaking of updates, whenever an update is released, the servers require patching first. This means you can’t play the game because of its “always online” requirement. Yes, you can’t even work on your license tests while the server is down. There’s supposedly some arcade races and the “music rally” tracks, but I never was even given the option to play them as my game refused to go into “offline mode” choosing only to throw up errors about how it couldn’t connect to the server.

    Shame on PlayStation
    Shame on Polyphony Digital
    Shame on Kazunori Yamauchi

    Also, the AI sucks, so all the “story mode” races are rolling starts, where you just have to chase down the moronically driven AI car in first place from their 20-35 second head start.    … Expand

    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.
