    MTX mess and offline servers. Great way to waste $75. Poly and Sony should be ashamed that they released this mess. Fix the game RIGHT now!!

    Impossible to unlock all cars without micro-transactions.
    Can not even play the single player during server problems.
    I'm slowly considering requesting a refund..

    Microtransactions all the way......It was Fun for two weeks, but now with the update, lost the magic and motivation to play the game

    Absolutely farcical. The game was initially a grind but the reports and screen grabs taken of the update for 1.07 are a slap in the face of the GT community. They're pushing microtransactions for a game that is already £70. Polyphony should be ashamed of what they've done.

    I just registered to rate this great Disappointment.
    The game requires always online, but the Servers are down. MTX are the main pillar of the whole concept. You don't earn enough money to buy anything??
    Great, I can play the f*** music rally. Thank you, PD.

    Unacceptable in its current state. Absolutely laughable that we cannot access single player without online.

    Im buying a $70 AAA game with PS3 graphics. However, on top of that they raised the prices of "micro"transactions and now they are reducing the payouts in order to make us pay for the not so "micro"transactions...

    Also the game requires you to be always online so dodge it while you still can

    Can't play single player if the servers are down, servers have been down over 24hrs meaning the game is unplayable, credit payouts for races are ridiculously low trying to push you to use microtransactions

    Focus on maximising in game micro transactions have killed the game and series.

    For a racing game, the cars look and sound great and the circuits look stunning in 4k. However, everything else about this game is just dreadful. It's got a half-assed story mode with only 38 missions. They ruined the economy in this game by nerfing the already abysmal credit payouts in order to force players to buy credits with real-world money. A disappointing entry in the GT series.

    Bought this Thursday, came home poped it in, installing (for a looong time), finally booting up, servers offline, no worries I'll just do single player. BUT YOU CANT. Server maintenance has been going on for more than 24 h now! Once I will be able to play I will surely also find out about horrible microtransaction.

    I'm dissapointed

    Game is built around microtransactions. Servers have been down for over 24 hours, preventing any progression in single player modes. Remove online dependency for single player progression, remove microtransactions, and beef up the single player content. Core gameplay is fun, dragged down by corporate greed. This is a £70 game, not F2P.

    Always online single player game is mind blowing to me.
    Micro transactions are bad but dont affect me since i dont use it.
    Not being able to sell cars is ridiculous and pathetic way of trying make people buy credit with money + their "generosity of giving cars in game" makes no sense since its only to watch them in your useless garage. gameplay is great, fun driving, really good

    Not able to play single player game while servers are down last 24h hours makes me wonder why did I buy this game, and will make me think twice next time.

    Terrible game made worse by the always online DRM and aggressive micro transaction model they've employed. The game has been offline and unplayable for over 24 hours now and they've reduced payouts on races meaning more of your precious time is needed to grind credits to buy cars.. But the want you to buy credits. Used to love the franchise, this is an insult.

    Great franchise ruined by micro transactions, shoddy AI and a lacklustre career mode and always online single player.

    Get a grip developers. You've lost a 25 year customer relationship.

    Extremely disappointed in Polyphony and Sony. A broken tyre model that has led to most cars being basically undriveable without assists. Appalling use of tactics to force users towards micro transactions to achieve any sort of progress in the game.

    The latter includes removing the ability to sell cars for money, despite it being mentioned that you could, no cash prizes for multiplayer

    The latter includes removing the ability to sell cars for money, despite it being mentioned that you could, no cash prizes for multiplayer lobbies, extremely poor daily roulette rewards which are weighted towards the poorest prize (and even then, the best prize is generally still terrible). And worst of all they are actively patching the game to quash any vaguely reasonable, legitimate methods for earning cash.

    Microtransactions and crappy payouts killed the game. Also the disk is worthless after they shut the servers down. Sad day for this franchise.

    Why do we need an on-line connection for single play as well?
    I bought it as a package and it made no sense at all.
    Besides, it's been over 24 hours without a maintenance progress report. Terrible neglect.

    I would like to urge the developers to take a hard look at this.

    Pay to win casino game. Copy GT Sport, paste as GT 7. There is nothing new, far away from sim, it's really easy arcade racing, but you are going to drive **** slow cars for a long time, until you can purchase one-two fast cars... or you can purchase them for real money, that's the big idea here.

    I'm done paying for video games. I was stung by Cyberpunk 2077, CDPR was supposed to be one of the good guys. Now I've been stung by GT7.

    I've been a Gran Turismo fan ever since I played the first when one as 9 years old, and I've owned every numbered installment since. I bought GT7 the other night and I haven't even been able to play the damn career mode since the server has been down

    I've been a Gran Turismo fan ever since I played the first when one as 9 years old, and I've owned every numbered installment since. I bought GT7 the other night and I haven't even been able to play the damn career mode since the server has been down the entire time. I can't even save my options settings, apparently you need to be online just to be able to save the fact that you're done watching the 8 minute intro every time you start up the game to nothing. Doesn't sound like I'm missing a career mode judging by the other reviews here , just the Cafe thing, which I thought sounded cool in the pro reviews, but I thought that was a cool side quest, not the whole damb career. I bought this because I've always loved the GT series and the reviews said that it had returned to it's ps1 and ps2 glory days. Obviously even game news is fake news, paid for by sponsors and given a script to read from, they've either never played the old GT or are taking money to lie.

    So yeah, I'm done paying for video games. They all suck now anyway.

    A 8/10 on release, but shortly after securing their bags they scam the costumers with reduced prices money into buying credits via micro transactions. If this wasn't bad enough, the game is offline for over a day now, because they've an issue with that "update". The game is not playable for like 22 hours as the time of writing this review.

    Not able to play a single player game offline is a unacceptable. Also nerfing amount of rewards earned to make you spend on micro transactions is a shame.

    requires and always online connections and the IDIOTS can’t even keep there servers on! For some one like make that works all the time and then not be able to play when I have time off is unacceptable. I grew up playing every version of this game and this will probably be my last. It should have been free to play if this is the “gaming” experience they wanted.

    Horrible micro transactions and a complete lack of communication or accepting responsibility from the developers and Sony. Completely unacceptable to implement these tactics for a full price game, cut back rewards for races and have cars completely un-attainable for $200AUD all after reviews were published. Not something you would expect from PlayStation first part title, let alone oneHorrible micro transactions and a complete lack of communication or accepting responsibility from the developers and Sony.

Not something you would expect from PlayStation first part title, let alone one with a beloved legacy dating back from PS1 Stop these horrible practices, Gran Turismo can kiss it’s fanbase goodbye if they refuse to fix this issue. Beneath the scummy manipulative practices is a great game, yet money milking tactics kill any and all enjoyment for this game. Expand

    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.
