Free to Play Gran Turismo Game
The Gran Turismo series launched nearly 27 years ago, making it nearly as old as the PlayStation brand itself. Throughout the decades, seven mainline games have been released, with at least one for each of Sony’s console generations, as well as a handheld version for the PlayStation Portable in 2009 and five spin off games. Most recently, Sony released Gran Turismo 7 exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and 5 on March 4, 2022, packing the game with more than 400 cars and 34 tracks at launch.
The new Gran Turismo game, also named as My First Gran Turismo, will be scaled down significantly in terms of its roster of drivable vehicles. Featuring a lineup of 18 different Gran Turismo cars of various types, the game captures the old school feel of early games in the racing series but updates them with a modern day look, as shown in a trailer released by PlayStation Studios and Polyphony Digital. While a full listing of the available cars hasn’t been made public yet, the trailer shows off a few, including the Lamborghini Countach LP400 ’74, the Honda NSX Type R ’92, the TT Coupe 3.2 quattro ’03, the M3 Sport Evolution ’89, the Dodge Challenger R/T ’70, and the Mazda Roadster S (ND) ’15. Only a few cars will be available when players first launch the game, with the rest unlocked through a progression system.
Fans of the series can pick up My First Gran Turismo for free from the PlayStation Store starting at midnight local time on December 6, 2024. The game will feature both time trails and three race events with classic Gran Turismo tracks, and longtime fans of the series can look forward to revisiting some nostalgic locations, like Kyoto Driving Park, Deep Forest Raceway, and Trial Mountain Circuit, as detailed in a recent PlayStation Blog post.
My First Gran Turismo will be available for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, but PlayStation 5 players will get an additional treat. Following the success of Gran Turismo 7 on PS VR2, PlayStation 5 players will also be able to enjoy a virtual reality experience with My First Gran Turismo.
