Additionally, a new VR Showroom area from the Garage and in-game car dealership will be added, allowing players to check out cars in greater detail.
We are pleased to announce that the PlayStation 5 version of Gran Turismo 7′ will receive full PlayStation®VR2 support through Update 1.29, releasing on 21 February. With this free upgrade, players will be able to experience all the races and game modes (excluding ‘2P Split Screen’ mode) with a whole new level of realism. PS VR2 players will also be able to access an exclusive ‘VR Showroom’ area from their ‘Garage’ or the in-game car dealerships where they can admire all the stunning details of the ultra high-definition car models in a variety of locations and lighting settings.

Gran Turismo 7 is now available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 worldwide. You can learn more about the latest entry in the racing game series developed by Polyphony Digital by checking out Chris’ review.
Gran Turismo 7 is an excellent game. It looks fantastic, with features like the photo and scapes modes, making the game look eerily photo-realistic. On the track, racing is top-notch. Every car feels unique; every change in the garage and every decision on the track matters. However, it doesn’t mean there aren’t issues. Always online requirements have failed me numerous times and lost progress when the servers have died; this is before launch. In addition to this, there’s just a looming issue of time; the game doesn’t value your time with the campaign (cafe menus), having it move at a glacially slow pace at best.
