    Horrible experience with this game, didn't realize I had to be online to play the offline single player content and servers have been down for over a day it's a complete joke. £70 for game a game locked behind a connection...as well as micro transactions getting pushed. Will be selling my copy

    Single player game made into online-only **** that encourages microtransactions (in a 80$ title).

    The servers have been down for close to a full day and you can't play it, even the offline content.
    Absolutely shocking.

    ‪The corporate greed is just next level now. And anyone who doesn’t see this has successfully been indoctrinated into believing this is okay. It’s a frikken video game, not a career path. Mtx was only ever acceptable when it was for cosmetic changes, never for gameplay.‬

    From the fact that they didn’t even talk about mtx until after game reviews were published and then launched, makes it a complete bait and switch move. To then lowering pay outs on many races making it a very very long grind to get some of the top cars.

    Time is the one thing you never get back. And the time that I spend playing the game should be spend playing and enjoying the game and not grinding. And I shouldn’t have to pay more than the initial $90 CDN.

    If Polyphony wanted to release a freemium game, then the base game should have been that… free!

    It’s just bad business. Shame.
    If the community doesn’t stand up to this this will just allow more of this to continue.    … Expand

    I am a huge fan of the franchise since GT1 however GT7 is a paramount disappointment to me. First of all the car selection is crap for European car enthusiasts.

But the worst is the always online function, for 24h the game has been offline due to a botched update. You just cant have that without communicating to players the status on an hourly basis. Just shows polyphony digital doesnt respect us. Normally they should gibe every player a massive compensation for this but I have my doubts since they have not shown to be player friendly. I for my part have returned my game copy to the retailer as the game is simply disfunctional and I encourage all other players to do the same as its only that way that they may start changing their attitude. Sad, the whole thing, all this wasted potential and for me now there is no more reason to keep my PS5.… Expand

    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 down for maintenance for numerous hours when I just want to play single player, an abhorrrent display of microtransactions and loot boxes and very lacking single player content in general. The game itself is great, fantastic driving and design, but these issues need to be fixed asap or the game is doomed for me.

    Graphics and gameplay worth the >80 rating BUT too few content. Online access needed. Reward system is rigged. Worst grind for expensive cars and parts to promote MTX. Disgraceful design. Worst game in the 25 year brand history. Dont buy until it is cheaper and updated.

    This is an 80 euro game that has micro-transactions like if it is a free to play.
    This is a Sony first party exclusive game! It is not Candy Crush!
    The micro-transactions are insulting!

    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.

    Gran Turismo 7 looks gorgeous, and drives brilliantly. It is fun. But it is also abhorrent because despite costing £70 at release, the developers don't think this is enough and the balance between received credits and car/upgrade costs has shifted massively since previous games. Not content with this, when people started sharing optimal races online that helped offset these actions, the developer released a patch to nerf the rewards in those races. Instead, what they want you to do is buy credits using more real-world currency because otherwise the grind in this game is very real and painful.

    Add to this that even if you want to just enjoy the single-player experience, you cannot do that without being online. "So what?" you might say, "Getting online is easy these days!". Well mostly it is, yes, but it's all rendered irrelevant if the PD servers you need to connect to are unavailable for 2 days. Like now. So the £70 game you bought cannot be played at all, not even in single player mode, because the developer has taken the server down for "maintenance".

    This game could have been amazing. As I say, it looks and drives amazing when you can actually play it and when you can afford a car you like. But sadly, doing either of these things is far from easy. I'll be doing something I've never done with a console game before because even bad purchases I suck up to support game development normally, but this is such scummy behaviour from the developer that this will be going back to Amazon for a refund. I cannot support this behaviour in any way.    … Expand

    Requiring an online connection for single player content is a poor choice at best, but when maintenance causes 24hr+ outages it's simply unacceptable. GT7 needs some serious reforms before it can be considered worth the money paid for it (even more so if you purchased the 25th Anniversary edition)

    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.
