What a way to find out though.

Hey please don't shut me down and delist me from GTP as well

I should've negotiated during our time at Barcelona now that I'm thinking about it😭

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Yes, I agree with everything you said. It's a shame I couldn't play the special Lewis Hamilton time trial, see I think they took it off in 2022. And I ordered the time trial package for $8.99 and it said after I placed the order that it's no longer available at the Playstation Store. Are you on my friends list? I need some help in Sport mode, gonna take a crack at the 91 wins and 65 pole positions to earn my first ever Platinum trophy. I gotta put the work in the next 3 weeks, it's crunch time now.

Feel free to add me, but I'm not sure I will he much help in Sport mode. You still gotta drive and win those races yourself. My tip is to focus on Daily A. Road cars are not very popular so you'll have easier opponents. Just focus on getting a really good quali so you can start from pole and avoid first turn trouble. Race late at night or early in the morning when most people are asleep. I'm not the best driver but I managed to get 91 wins in around 3 months (aim to win 1 race per day). Just pace yourself and set realistic expectations. Good luck!

1 win per day isn't enough anymore unfortunately...
But I agree on what you said.
I've made a pretty good quali time on Race B and I've had my poles within these last 10 days (I had 15 before)

can you still buy it as a CD and load your game profile and play offline?

You don't need a disk. You can always download the game from the library even after the game is removed from the store.

How? i searched for it on my Playstation and did not find it.

If you bought the digital version before its removal.

can you still buy it as a CD and load your game profile and play offline?

Yes, but also technically no- you’ll still be allowed to play the single-player content, and you can still save progress, but saving requires an internet connection. The servers will be open for saving, but all the other online features will shut down.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

They cut short the old TT period and put up 2 new ones with a "Thank You For Playing" banner. This will take it right up to the 31 Jan shut off date.

Interested to see if they do something special with the final set of daily races next week.

Also I've been looking through my livery collection and I noticed A LOT of liveries have the yellow exclamation. Like maybe 1 in 10. Gosh people are such a pain for reporting these. I wish I had taken screenshots earlier.

5 days gt sport servers are closing ahhhh 😭 I’ll be playing gt sport over the weekend 😢 thank you ole friend for laying down the foundation for gt7 and being a decent racer by the end of it.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

So if my understanding of the shut down is correct we should not expect any update file or anything next week, it will just be the game left a is but we get an error when we try to click on something that needs online?

I am interested to see how the cars revert back, if it will just be an invisible change and we just see the original colours as I have a lot of car thumbnails and cars with liveries so I am expecting there might be some minor amusing glitches.

I vaguely remember we got some sort of update to GT5 back in the day to at least tidy up and remove the online features.

Ngl when I say next Wednesday will be a very sad day for me, GT Sport outwith 4 is the one game that gave me a lot of memories and made me a very good bunch of friends so I will not forget it in a hurry.

 

[Tired Tyres]

There will be a patch to convert the online save to an offline save but everything else will still be in the game but not accessable anymore. That is how GT5 and GT6 happened.

Yeah, i'll definitely be playing all of Sunday,Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday!

I Hope, I just need the level 50 trophy.

 

[Crona08]

What's worst is no more access to GT Sport decals repository via http://gtswiki.gt-beginners.net/decal/?lang=us, and the trick to download them as SVGs.

Wait theres a trick like that how do you do it I've been trying to salvage svgs from players that aren't coming back

 

[adam thompson]

Going to miss GT Sport 😭 ❤️ strange feeling knowing only in a few days servers will be no more

 

[RACECAR]

Definitely gonna pop GT Sport back in for the final few days. Its the only GT I have on the PS4 and its quite an important one as it came at a time in my life where I needed as much distraction as possible from the strife I had in my life. Sure it wasn't like the GTs of old and sure it wasn't exactly what people expected from a GT game (not even me) but it was one of those games that existed when I needed it to and boy, did it do me wonders. The many new friends I made, the discord Communities I'm in now and the experiences I had. As an added cherry on top, it also was quite the boost my Youtube channel needed.

This Screen saver should tell you how big of a deal this game was for me. This car and track combo was exactly both one of my first Points wins and my final points win.

 

[adam thompson]

Had a lot of fun today back in gt sport, made some photos saying good bye 😢 and finishing up missions and some races. Doing what I can at this late in its cycle. ❤️

 

[adam thompson]

Thank you GT Sport ❤️ 😭 😔

 

[Ande3200]

Its not long now before it shut down

 

[Paiky]

Luckily I have all the online trophies. All I'm missing is the level 50 gold trophy. Hopefully PD will bring another update so that the experience points per race will be significantly increased. From level 45 to 50 I need about 50 hours...

Gran Turismo Sport End of Online Services - Final Maintenance (31 January)

 

[tankuroded]

I've concerned if the news and Sport Mode race reports may disappear when the server shuts down. I've waybacked all the latter stuff just in case.

 

[Chris30]

Well looks like my day Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent on GT sport, then it's off to the gravesite, like the older GT games went that had the online features(GT5/GT6).

 

[Ande3200]

I have not touch gt sport since gt7 come out and i dont see ever play it again

 

[adam thompson]

I made a photo for Sir Lewis Hamilton thanking him for the time trial dlc and all he did with GTSport on X (Twitter) and in GT sport

 

[ScottPuss20]

I said goodbye to this game a long time ago because soo many aspects of it just confused me. No tuning shop? No GT Auto? No PP system? This wasn't a proper GT game and it will go down as the worst ever from my point of view. Sure, the updates were nice as it gave me a reason to come back every soo often, but the fatal flaws were never solved and the physics went to the dogs. This severely impacted on the little amount of enjoyment I got out of league racing, effectively forcing me out of the competition. After a while I just started begging for the next game and all the hallmark features that made the old games fun. Not being able to tune cars properly was a major demerit and reduced the playability of the game considerably. Anyway, none of that matters anymore as the game is dead and buried.

 

[Quakebass]

Alright, Daytona left me busier than expected, but I’ve got time to play and finish off the 91 wins trophy now… Let’s see how grandma’s WiFi holds up.

8 wins left, 2.5 minimum hours required, 27 hours till shutdown, let’s get it.

Thank you GTSport for dragon trail seaside what a track ❤️ 🐉
