Gran Turismo Sport Closed Beta Coming March 17: First the US, Then EU Region

[JDMKING13]

Is it downloading unbearably slow for anyone else or is it just my internet?

Mine took 15 minutes.

 

[Marc30599]

So the UI looks really nice, I'm impressed.

 

[Doodle]

I started downloading three hours ago. It still has an hour left but that's really because my internet is slow

 

[GBalao888]

Got the code, but looks like I won't be able to play for a few days since I'm moving house.

 

[RACECAR]

GOOD NEWS!
I got beta access! (And the Dacia Sandero)
BAD NEWS!
I cant redeem the code for some reason, it says its expired or invalid. Anyone else having this issue?

Code is very region specific, as in you have to be in the US. Having a US account while in other countries just won't work.

Edit: Nevermind racecar just answered my question above.

 

[Sambert]

Feels pretty good so far, but it's more of an evolution than revolution. Pleased with how it controls with the DS4 triggers - but will need to invest in a new wheel to make a proper assessment. Certainly enough here to warrant a pre-order on my end.

Wish photomode was available, but here's a share shot.

if anyone has a code that wont work for their region and it is for the us version, ill take it off your hands. i have had every single gt but i guess i was not lucky enough to get the beta,

Nah gimme first fam

 

[Denur]

I got an invite on my US account. Downloading now.

 

[AKps3]

So people from the US are getting invites and people from Canada are getting codes?

Codes are tied to the account that it came with.

Also of note that even if you download the beta with one account, you can't access it with another account on the same system.

Didnt take too long for, maybe less than an hour

 

[TeamEdge702]

Its a big step up from GT6. But im not sure it's enough.

 

[TB]

Where is the Wheel?

In the next room

Granted I've only ever tried cheap wheels but I've never been a fan.

I'm TB and I'm a button masher.

 

[RACECAR]

@TNR_5zigen Sorry about that hit In the last race, was trying to sneak around on the apron and surprise, you're there

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Got curious reading so many getting Beta code, I looked into the inbox of the email linked to my PSN, and through all this time, I've been invited and I never checked and yet, no PS4 to play on. Turns out, don't have to have PS4 to get an invite.

EDIT : removed the code and the addresses

 

[SkyArkz23]

@RACECAR basically what happened on race 3 at brands:

 

[CLG314]

Just got the invite. Hella hyped

@RACECAR basically what happened on race 3 at brands:

First ever race on GT Sport beta for me ended just like that.

When you're leading on the final lap and you choke the win away:

 

[Cowboy]

Just curious, anyone here in the US that didnt get an invite?

@Hazyplatypus and I are still hoping for a code on his PS4.

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

When you're leading on the final lap and successfully use a lapped car as a pick to grab a clutch W after an epic battle:

Edit: Also, an off-topic fun fact: I have a pair of the exact same Alpinestars gloves that the GTS mascot wears. They're Alpinestars Tech 1-Zs if you want a pair. Highly recommended.

I saw a guy streaming from Brasil...

 

[Techy]

So how long will this closed beta last?

 

[Ameer67]

So how long will this closed beta last?

No one has a clue.

Simply not true. I'm an Aussie playing on a US account.

After a rough day on campus, came home to a notification that I got a beta code!

Hopped on this evening, and the beta is absolutly fantastic! Graphics and visuals are vastly superior to GT5 and GT6. I love the dirt effects on Brands Hatch; makes it feel much more alive. The lighting looks astonishing during early morning and evening; not quite to the level of PCARS, but from what we had before, it's a massive improvement in my book.

The sounds come out pretty well. Not perfect, but it's a big step forward. Nice to hear the suspension work a bit, and thank heavens the tire squealing has been toned down!

Only things I don't like are the main driving HUD, which comes up a but too far on the screen for my liking. The MDU (If that's even what they're calling it) is a nice touch, allowing you to adjust TC, brake bias, fuel mixes, and a few other things as well as a small track map. Don't think the fuel mix is working yet, but that may be an open-wheel car only thing. Dunno.

Has anyone found a button to change camera positions? I took a look through the mapping earlier and I couldn't find it anywhere. Somehow I've managed with the bumper cam, but it's not really my cup of tea. Maybe I'm missing something.

 

[nascar49]

Think I had my closet finish ever in any of the GT games

Is Brands Hatch the only track available in Arcade Mode right now ?

 

[RACECAR]

Simply not true. I'm an Aussie playing on a US account.

Really? That's odd because several people from other countries with US accounts have reported having codes that said "invalid" or weren't working.

Simply not true. I'm an Aussie playing on a US account.

I envy you
