Since 1997, I have been a huge fan of the Gran Turismo series. The next-generation game, Gran Turismo 8, is already in production and has been announced to be released in 2023. However, it is undecided yet whether Gran Turismo 8 will be available on PS4 as well as PS5 or remain exclusive to PS5. Flashbacks to this would be much more realistic than usual.
Kazunori Yamauchi, the head of Polyphony Digital, spoke about a possible theme of the next game but so far, he has not disclosed it yet. He also stated that Gran Turismo 7 will be the first of many games, but it will only be updated for a while, since the developers are primarily focused on Gran Turismo 8. The game has two modes, Easy and Normal, in the former which players will be relaxed by slow action.
Easy is a very simple and the attracting mode directed for the newbies. While Normal is for riders who are interested in this challenge a little bit and want to go a little faster than usual. For more music and fun stuff, players must locate and go through the checkpoints of the game. Various main modes are being added, with World Mode having maps consisting of different hubs accomplishing jobs. The Café Mode is another game mode where players can accomplish missions in the World Mode.
Gran Turismo 8 Release Date
The release date of Gran Turismo 8 has not been officially announced yet. The release date is expected to be around 2026. However, the next Gran Turismo game’s timing is yet to be polished. Gran Turismo 6 was released in 2013, and Gran Turismo 7 came out in 2022, which denotes a 9-year break between the two games. As a result, we think that the new Gran Turismo 8 will be unboxed first in 2026.
Your article should have the indication that there will be long delays in the next series in the Gran Turismo. Also, the next edition of Gran Turismo may be focused more on VR, as it is already planned that Gran Turismo 7, an update for the launch of PlayStation VR, will be available this month. This will be a highly entertaining VR game.
Will Gran Turismo 8 come to PS4 and PS5?
Gran Turismo 7 is there for PS4 and PS5 platforms, while Gran Turismo 3 is on the PS3 console. The players can surely wait for Gran Turismo 8 to be on PS4, but it is not exact, it mainly depends on the period that the developer will take. Gran Turismo 8 may still only appear on PlayStation 5, but if there are no long hold-ups. Nevertheless, if Gran Turisamo 8 needs quite a bit of time to be finished, the question of whether it will be accessible on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 will be determined only in the future.
Over the next five years, the game will still be in early development and hence won’t be available. It is too soon for you to look for any solid news about it, particularly given the decades passed by the growing costs, technical difficulties as well as the time consumption of AAA game development. Gran Turismo 8 will probably be a PS5 only game, maybe it will come near the end of PS5’s lifecycle and it might be a PS6 exclusive. How do you feel about Gran Turismo 8 coming?
