Gran Turismo’s latest game arrived last year and gamers had been anticipating its launch for the last 9 years. With Gran Turismo 6 released in 2013, it took the developers almost 9 years to release Gran Turismo 7 as it arrived on March 4th, 2022.
Gran Turismo 7 was initially announced for launch in 2021 but due to the global pandemic, the game’s release was postponed. Having just been a year since the game’s release, many players are already getting excited by the prospect of the next title – Gran Turismo 8.
If you’re one of those gamers and wondering about the next title, then this guide will be helpful. In this guide, you will get to know what is the Gran Turismo 8 release date.
What is the Gran Turismo 8 release date?
If you look at the history of previous releases in this franchise, it takes a while for the game to go from early leaks to the finalized release. The 6th edition launched back in 2013 and it took them 9 years to release the 7th version. Before that, it took the developers 4-5 years to launch a new version.
Gran Turismo 8 is expected to be available for PlayStations, PCs, and consoles and it’ll be developed by Sony Corporation and published by Polyphony Digital.
Based on these timelines, gamers can expect the game to arrive sometime in the year 2026 or 2027 at the earliest. This is only speculation based on the previous track record of Gran Turismo titles. As of now, there is no official news on the release date of Gran Turismo 8.
What will the gameplay be like?
In the game, you’ll be able to play multiple difficulty levels like Easy and Normal. You need to complete certain checkpoints for increasing your game time. The further you go, the more music tracks you will unlock.
This is a great way of introducing new players to the game. However, the main mode of the game is World Mode, a map that has different hubs to complete jobs. The cafés will take players to different areas and modes.
The Café is where the players unlock different missions they complete in World Mode. Typically, this will involve unlocking three cars, completing a specific track, or unlocking one of the race car licenses. By completing different missions, you’ll be able to get a new track or it could even be a Roulette ticket. Each car in the game is immaculate and all the tracks are perfect, down to the smallest detail.
