Why haven’t we seen a new mainline numbered sequel from Sony’s racing sim franchise yet?
Sony Interactive Entertainment has delisted Gran Turismo Sport from the PlayStation Store as of January 1, 2024.
The great digital future. Where games vanish. The benefits of digital just aren't enough over physical to every buy in 100 percent. Especially when my Atari games still work and can be played to this day over 40 years later. Some of these digital games don't even last a whole generation.
Online based titles like this I wouldn't expect to last forever as the game has been updated iterations as in gt7
Same with if FIFA 20 was delisted as example there's update to game. If something like Uncharted collection was delisted then that's something that's bad
You pay stupid money for digital games and DLC, then it goes missing. Who's laughing?
On January 31, 2024, at 06:00 UTC, the online services of the PlayStation®4-exclusive software “Gran Turismo Sport” will come to an end.
Time to get a PS5! New PS5 owners in the USA can currently claim a game for free, but GT7 is not part of this promotion.
GT sport was good. Gt7 is better.
For someone who was crap at racers (and still is) and only played kart racers with powerups, I can say GT sport and gt7 balance SIM/ arcade racing to perfection. Easy enough for anyone to play and not crash but with enough depth to master for years.
Totally different to need for speed / Forza handling where the cars feel 'floaty'.
The dualsense is just supreme with gt7 toi
After Turismo 4 on the PS2, the series was never the same. Although Turismo 4 wasn't a finished game and didn't play as good as Turismo 3. Turismo 5 on PS3 was a mess, Turismo 6 was Turismo 5 finished. Sport on PS4 was another mess, especially VR mode. Sort of back on track with Turismo 7, but so tiring as with the Forza series. Anyone remember the PSP version that had no championship mode? Turismo has always been average at best.
Thats why i dont like online only games. Cant believe this, this game sold so well. You need to be a fanboy to keep supporting Sony after this. Bought this thinking that it would take 10 years for this. I'm lucky that there are enough classics and single players for a life time.
30 of the world's top GT drivers arrive in Monaco after a highly competitive 2022 Series. They must now navigate a regional qualifying group featuring drivers from their home regions for a place at the Grand Final.
12 drivers from each respective group including the top three from Asia-Oceania, Americas, and Europe/Middle East/Africa groups, and the top three from the Repechage will qualify for the Grand Final.

The first gen without a numbered Gran Turismo game and first gen where Gran Turismo isn’t one of the top 3 best selling exclusives on the console
Planned for PS5, where VR can be taken to the next level.
I am not into online racing games, I put hundreds of hours into 5 and 6 and I don't think I had more than three online races. I am waiting on 7 ...badly.
When you’ll understand that gt sport is a full title and not some 6.5 or prequel to gt7. And for people who actually enjoy competitive racing, gran turismo couldn't take a better turn.
I’ll explain: when I play GT sport online mode I feel like I’m taking part in real life "racing driver carrier" and there is no better opponents Ai then the real human brain... I have spent no time playing the old school campaign which GT sport offers too becaus compered to online mode it just boring, pointless and highly unsatisfying when wining the race.
I got the impression that Sport was the most recent full game in the series and it wasn't numbered because they wanted to take the franchise in a new (competitive online) direction. See how it sells and goes down in general and either make Sport 2 next or go back to traditional SP.
