Gran Turismo 7 producer Kazunori Yamauchi explains his previous statement about a possible PC port of the game, clarifying its current status.

Apparently, according to producer Kazunori Yamauchi, there are no official plans for a PC release of Gran Turismo 7 after all. The popular racing game franchise has always been a PlayStation exclusive in the past, but some notable leaks and industry murmurs have started the story that something might be in the works for GT7 after all.

Not only has Sony started to release many of its most popular games on PC, but it has already pointed to several of them well in advance as part of the infamous Nvidia GeForce Now leak, which included Returnal, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and God of War as future PC games. and appearances. GT7 was also on this list, and while many initially doubted the leak’s authenticity, Sony’s subsequent release of several such titles shocked the community.

Still, it looks like Gran Turismo 7 won’t be coming to PC anytime soon, according to Kazunori Yamauchi himself. The franchise producer has now gone public to clarify a recent mistranslation of one of his interviews, with some suggesting that Polyphony Digital was actively researching a PC version of the game. Yamauchi has now clarified that he was merely saying that “the possibility is not 0”, but that he and his team are not actively working on releasing Gran Turismo 7 outside PlayStation consoles. “There is nothing to talk about,” he concluded.

The wrong translation that there might be Gran Turismo 7 for PC will surely disappoint many racing fans who choose to play on PC. However, Yamauchi didn’t outright deny the possibility that something like this could happen at some point in the future, and it’s a fact that Sony seems more receptive to the platform than ever. The obvious conclusion is that while GT7 isn’t currently in the works for PC, there’s nothing stopping Sony or Polyphony Digital from working on such a release at some point down the road.

It might be a bit strange that the Gran Turismo movie could happen before the game makes its way to PC. The upcoming motion picture is an odd, if not entirely unprecedented, choice for a racing franchise, though the August 2023 release is sure to find its audience. The details of the film are still largely unknown, but it has already been announced that it will be directed by none other than Neill Blomkamp.

Those looking to stick with the latest iteration of the PS5 game have plenty to enjoy. Gran Turismo 7’s 25th anniversary content, for example, offers many new gameplay options and cars to chase, and more content is sure to be released in the future.

Gran Turismo 7 is now available for PS4 and PS5.
