What is the release date of Gran Turismo 7?

Will GT7 hit the shelves in 2021?

The Gran Turismo franchise has been going strong ever since its first title launched in 1997, and it doesn’t look like the Sony-published series will be stopping anytime soon. In June 2020, PlayStation confirmed that a Gran Turismo 7 is in the works and under development. However, we did not receive a release date at that time, and almost a year later, all we received was an indication that GT7 would not be releasing in 2021. Now, we do have a release date.

First, let’s get into a bit of history. It seemed for quite some time that Sony planned to release Gran Turismo 7 at some point in 2021. And that was the case, as the new title was expected to go live this year. However, PlayStation did confirm earlier this year that a 2021 release will not happen at all.

During an interview that PlayStation head Jim Ryan did with GQ UK back in February, a PlayStation PR representative confirmed that the timeline for Gran Turismo 7 has shifted from 2021 to 2022. PlayStation stated that it was having COVID-related trouble with the development of the game, and because of the fluid situation, the company will announce a launch date in the near future.

Seven months later, Sony confirmed a release date for Gran Turismo 7 during the PlayStation showcase. GT7 will launch worldwide in March 2022, a little over eight years since the launch of Gran Turismo 6. It’s been a long wait, but it’s coming to an end in Spring 2022.
