    If a game isn't playable does it really exist? I WAS enjoying the hell out of the game but suddenly can't play it due to outright incompetence and greediness of the developer. Shame on you for making a beautiful, fun to play game that suddenly isn't playable!

    Paid $100 for a game I cannot currently play for over 24 hours with no word from the horrible developers.
    They decreased payouts for racing, aiming to push for more micro transactions. I will be requesting a full refund.

    Servers offline for over 27 hours, no explanation as to why, poor from Sony. Can’t play the offline mode as you have to be online?! How does that make sense? What bright spark came up with that idea

Then to make matters worse they deliver an update that aims to reduce the in-game credits given and encourage even more microtransactions (that aren't so micro!) and which renders the game virtually unplayable due to their stupid online at all times model. Well, I have paid for the game already but they can only fool me once. After over 20 years this will be the last Gran Turismo I ever buy.… Expand

    DO NOT BUY. Or, for only $70 you can get an unplayable, bricked game that purposely nerfs rewards to force you to spend MORE MONEY. Bravo 0/10

    29 hours downtime for a Triple A game worth $125AUD not long out if release. Now it seems to be the game is pushing towards micro-transactions with the nerfing of credits. Upset have played this franchise since I was a child.

    I bought the special edition for BRL499, almost half a minimum monthly payout. I cannot play this game for the last two days cause DRM/server issue, but it is a single player game too! There is lack of content, lots of problems regarding payouts. I am very sad because i bought the PS5 thinking about this game.

    This game was supposed to be a return to form for the franchise but is falling far short of that. The driving is great, everything else is down right bad though. Little to no SP campaign, no endurance races, no B-spec, no cup series, a fraction of the cars as older games. Couple that with always online requirement, pitiful MTs and server outages and it equals a disgusting cash grab.

    Add to that they the Gram Turismo 7 team are making it harder to earn credits (which they will sell you for real money) and you can quickly see why this £70 game is turning out to be a big mistake.

    If I’m brutally honest it looks so similar to GT Sport on my HD TV that I’m questioning my logic for moving to this from GT Sport. This was supposed to be a reincarnation but it feels like a new nail in a coffin.    … Expand

Seriously, why do I need to be connected to your server to have some fun driving in my own career mode? This is idiotic and I hope folks reading this are discouraged from buying GT7 after reading the multitude of reviews saying this same thing.

    2.) It's blatantly obvious that they are pushing for a "pay to win" format. The most recent patch material reduced the payout for the few races that were actually paying OK. They appear to be doing everything in their power to push microtransactions on a player base that has already paid $80 for the damn game, as the current format would have you grinding for days/weeks for one expensive car. Some of us actually work for a living and simply do NOT have time for that grind. I guess we're exactly who they're targeting with their mtx push, but I'm not taking part in that mess.

    3.) The game itself has lost its "soul". I don't know how else to describe it, but I've never been less enthusiastic about a GT game, and I've been playing them for over a decade now. Every race is the exact same thing. Start in the back of the pack and weave your way through traffic as you complete your "time trial." The game feels vapid and almost solely focused on PD taking every dime out of your pocket that they can.

    Long story short, as of March 22, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IN ITS CURRENT STATE. This is trash and I'm hoping I can save a few people a few bucks by taking the time to write this review.    … Expand

    Adding always on-line as mandatory, and increasing the grind to obtain the in game currency. And worst, doing that after the media reviews appraising the game, configures FRAUD and abuse of their customers and fans good will. SONY just nerfed the Gran Turismo IP.

    I was so happy to buy and play this game after seeing some positive reviews on YouTube. This was my first gran turismo game I bought when it released and at first I was happy with what I had but then the game ended out of nowhere and I was left with what seemed a very minimal and diverse amount of races, a lot of very difficult challenges to complete on controller, & extremely predatory micro transactions. I had absolutely no idea that literally 90% of this game is only playable online so if I don’t have a internet connection, I am only limited to barely 10% of what this game has to offer. This wasn’t stated anywhere in the PlayStation store before I preordered and bought the game. On top of this, after the last update where I found out the majority of the game can only be played online, the people at polyfony digital decided to cut literally EVERY single race that was somewhat efficient in making in game money instead of balancing the lesser paying races. This company did all of this purposefully after every review company had posted a favorable review for them & now they r treating their customers as if they were slaves to earn virtual cars in their game. To polygons digital & Sony: this will be the first and last time I ever buy a game within months of it releasing and it might even be the last time I buy a game from ur store ever because this keeps happening across so many games Sony allows on their store. This is heartbreaking for this to happen in gaming, games were supposed to be a haven and now that’s being manipulated and abused. The past couple releases, battlefield 2042, Babylon’s fall, and gran turismo 7 have really made me not want to play games anymore. Wow.    … Expand

    This is my first review on this site, this is how strongly I am annoyed at this game.
    I bought this game on launch to play. It's a racing game I played as a child and it seemed like a nice nostalgia trip. When I was in highschool I bought a used PS3 just to play this game! That's how much I loved it.
    My first few hours with the game where great. I had a great time, the racing was fun.    This is my first review on this site, this is how strongly I am annoyed at this game.
    I bought this game on launch to play. It's a racing game I played as a child and it seemed like a nice nostalgia trip. When I was in highschool I bought a used PS3 just to play this game! That's how much I loved it.

    My first few hours with the game where great. I had a great time, the racing was fun. The money was a tad grindy but really not bad for what I was needing the money for.

    I took a break due to life for a few days and an update came out. 1.06. "Sweet!" I thought to myself, there might be some new content or at the least bug fixes! I was wrong.

    1.06 broke licensing, the gateway to progressing the game. All rally license tests where swapped from dirt tires to road tires. I spent literally 4 hours trying to pass a test because it seemed ungodly hard (I already got the previous 2 rally tests done without an issue). Watching the example I couldn't do anything close to what they where doing and it was infuriating. Near the end of the 4 hours I said screw it, maybe someone online has something to say about how to do this and I'm just bad? After a quick google search I found the bug and that it was broken.

    So I put the game down and thought to myself, "I'll just wait for it to get patched."
    2 weeks later they release 1.07. "Sweet" I think to myself, they patched the issue that was stopping me from progressing!

    Turns out they also kneecapped the payouts to races. Which up to this point, EVERY TIME you get paid you get to see the "Top up balance" option under your money just reminding you to spend a little cash to progress faster! Which I didn't really mind as I didn't have to grind that hard to progress. And without grind the game wouldn't be as fun. But now you make money sometimes 50% slower than before. That's disgusting.

    TLDR: was a chidlhood fan, if they don't undo their greed I WILL NEVER purchase this game again. Adding to that, I will never purchase a playstation ever again, as this removes any desire I have to own one! And I'll stick to PC gaming. Where at least I can undo game breaking updates. which I've never experienced before this point in my life.

    P.S. If they undo the extra greed they did to payouts I'll give most of the points back. But a game breaking bug that doesn't get patched for weeks after launch is brutal for any game.    … 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.

    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.
