I was so close in buying a PS5 and getting GT7, but found out that it requires a PSN Membership. This ruined it for me and I really don't know why they made that stupid decision with GT7. I was hoping that in a future update such as the latest Spec II 1.40 update that they would have considered removing it. I don't like the game being dependent on that. Not everyone wants to play online, and I am completely fine with playing the game offline like I did with GT1-6 in the past. Does anyone know they have discussed or have considered doing so?
GT7 needs to remove the PSN membership requirements!

I heard that even singleplayer is limited. Like you're limited to a limited number of cars you can choose from and others. I watched a few youtube videos of people complaining that the singleplayer mode is extremely limited and that if you want to access most of the features that the game offers then you'll need to sign up for a PSN membership.

As Roberthammer pointed out, you only need PS+ for Sport Mode. The main limitation of Single Player, are the Used Car Dealership and Legend Dealership. Those cars are on rotation for a limited number of days and recycle overtime. Players can toggle cars on their Wishlist and those cars may return sooner in the queue.
If you read the new article by gtplanet about Spec 2.0, there are so much more events and changes to game play. Lots to do from when the game debuted. It’s a good time to buy a PS5 and GT7.

Interesting, what is Sport Mode?
So you guys are telling me if for some reason my internet goes down, I won't be able to play the game? I'm also worried about the future of GT7. What if they no longer support the game. Will that mean I won't be able to play the game? I'd imagine that no game developer will keep their servers running forever and that it'll eventually get taken down, meaning that we won't be able to play the game. Even in single player mode.

Sport mode is basically online multiplayer.
Yep, the save file is online, so without internet you won’t be able to play.
GT Sport is the best clue we have to what will happen when GT7 reaches end of life. You can read about that here:
Gran Turismo Sport End of Life Announced for January 31 2024
Polyphony Digital has today announced that Gran Turismo Sport will be moved into end of life status on January 31 2024, bringing the game's active status to an end after a little over six years on sale. It's an announcement we've been expecting for some considerable time, and has come much furthe

Ok, to clarify this:
Yes, you need a PSN account and you need to be logged into this account.
No, you don't need PS+ except for multiplayer.
(You can also do the Sport Mode Time Trials without PS+)

Appreciate all the comments. With that being said, you guys changed my mind. I will be buying a PS5 Disc version, not sure if I should wait for the new PS5 Slim, it may have better internal upgrades. But what's the best price you guys have seen for GT7 Disc Edition? I want to own a physical copy of game.
There's GT7 Launch Edition, 25th Anniversary Edition and Standard Edition. What are the differences between all of them and which do you guys recommend?

Yes, without internet you wont be able to play the single player mode.
The future will be same as GTS. When the end support comes, and the servers are going to be shut down, a patch will be released and you are going to be able to play the game offline most probably.
I don't think this is going to happen any soon in the up coming 5 years though. No need to worry to much about it.
