Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Nielsen]

Should be the 10th presuming it follows 2022 and 2023.

True, but it’s too early. In GT Sport it started around the 20th, and so it felt more special. Then again, local supermarkets started yesterday…

Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo Series Producer
"We are pleased to release the IONIQ 5 N to Gran Turismo 7. The Hyundai N brand has made a lot of achievements in actual motorsport this year, including at Pikes Peak, the Nurburgring 24-hour race TCR class victory, the TCR World Tour champion, and the WRC drivers title, and we look forward to future collaborations between Gran Turismo and Hyundai in the Esport sector."

So we're getting those cars too then right? Right?

Let's not be hasty with that. Remember that despite being longtime partners with Super GT, we STILL don't have the latest GT500 machinery.

On that topic.
I know Super GT cars have had a prominent place in the Gran Turismo franchise, and it's likely that the 2024 GT500's show up at some point in the future, but have they ever had an official licensing partnership like NASCAR & WRC had back in GT5, or Super Formula currently has?
Genuinely don't know.

The article also specifies that the Hyundai will be in the January update so probably not anything for December.

GT5 and GT6 were the only real instance of officially licensing the actual Super GT Name (and unsurprisingly, the most fleshed out in terms of cars even if it didn't have the flashy cinematics like WRC or NASCAR did) but as far as I can tell, Gran Turismo has featured as one of their partners for over a decade now.

This is a bug right? They probably took this shot in Scapes mode and forgot to enable the Parking Lights on

PD wouldn't forget to include one of the coolest and most iconic Daytime-Running Lights of all time, right?

Right...?

It’s cool to wake up and start my PS5P with the original Sony PlayStation startup music and logo. Cool indeed.

Sadly it won't stay like this

Super GT is in the same odd place Pikes Peak is in, where we know PD had the license a decade ago, and circumstantial evidence (sponsorships, other sims not using the content) would suggest they still have it, but we don't know the state of either for 100% sure.

For completeness, they are not currently mentioned at all in the IP/licensing credits in-game (Super Formula are, licensed from Japan Race Promotion).

 

[05XR8]

By the looks of those photos, maybe a special Ioniq event at one of the Nurburgring layouts.

 

[Korvregn]

Right...?

 

[NTGSruler]

The Hyundai coming in january doesn't necessarily means that there is no update in december. Fingers crossed.

PD's relationship with Super GT is perhaps more curious than Pikes Peak. An agreement between the Gran Turismo and Super GT brands would only bring commercial advantages to both. The GT community, I would say, is almost unanimous in favor of the GT500 and GT300 cars.

I also include the doubt why Sugo, Okayama and Tokachi never appeared in the franchise GT.

“Prize to be delivered after next update” (prize now known to be the Hyundai)

“The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will be newly added to Gran Turismo 7 in its 2025 January update”

therefore next update = January update

 

[Gtsport28]

my theory of not updating the month of December!!
my first gt will be available throughout December to attract more players! the January update will take place on Thursday 2 at the start of the month with a big update!! like the one who came on the 2 November 2023 !!

 

[05XR8]

I figured the next update would be the My First GT update. After that update comes the next update that includes the Hyundai. No biggies. Just gotta wait as usual.

I admire your hope

I don't think there will be
no need to update to introduce my first gt !!
we will see !!

Yet...
(iracing got the recent super formula (light) cars, I hope they add the super gt cars in the next seasons )

Could be like any demo in the PS Store. Maybe no special section in the World Map for us current GT players.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

Why do some people keep thinking a GT7 update is necessary in order for My First GT to release?

 

[kjb]

No update in December is fine with me. My credit got wiped out by the last update so I need time to build it back up just to get wiped out again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[GTboyz]

Little bit of GT in here

Ending it on Bloodborne is hilarious

 

[MroczMR]

last year PD also had one month break in december. I guess this is holidays for them.

 

[PSN offapple]

Something of potential note is that no new circuits are being used in the upcoming live event, as there's no TBD slots. This can mean 2 things.

1: There simply isn't a new track in the next [presumably December] update. This is the most likely outcome.

Or

2: There is a new track, but it's one that isn't suitable for normal competitive racing, such as a Pikes Peak point-to-point. This is far less likely, but possible.

I missed this when scrolling through. There are no details at all, circuit or car, for the Nations Cup Qualifying Time Trial.

Now we know the car, the new Hyundai, but not the circuit. I'd be surprised if there's a new circuit along with the new car in the same session, but it is still technically possible since it's a TBA slot at this time, so who knows.

Ending it on Bloodborne is hilarious

With "persistence"

 

[05XR8]

First to the top wins?

 

[Baka_Marimo]

If I need a certain car from the used car dealership and don't know when it'll appear, how frequently do I have to check its stock in order not to miss a listing? Every five days? Every seven? I just want to make sure that I get a chance to buy every car before it goes out of stock.
