"Gran Turismo made its PlayStation 3 debut nearly two years ago and delivered a simulated racing experience never seen before. Kazunori Yamauchi, CEO of Polyphony Digital and producer of the Gran Turismo series, recently commented on the future of Gran Turismo when questioned on the existence of Gran Turismo 6 spiking a bit of questioning within my mind. With years invested into the Gran Turismo 5 engine, will Polyphony Digital take advantage of their incredible work for another Gran Turismo release, or just move on to Sony's next console, the PlayStation 4?"

The biggest surge in player numbers came after the release of Gran Turismo 7 Spec II in November, the game’s largest and most significant content update since it was released in March of 2022.
“When we released the Spec II update, the number of active users jumped up to double of what it was before that,” Yamauchi-san revealed. “I’ve heard in the video game industry that is quite rare.”
Spec II introduced seven new cars, an all-new snowy rally track, new single-player content, a new rotating set of “Weekly Challenges”, new license tests, four-player split screen, Photomode and Scapes enhancements, and the introduction of the all-new AI system, Gran Turismo Sophy 2.0, as a special mode in the game.
That's Xbox language right there....quick...let's make a dozen articles about how the game is super duper successful
No surprise, ps5 selling and the game is most beautiful and approachable racing sim today.
I think people are probably enjoying Sophy, if they release their next game with it featuring as a core component they're on to a winner imo.
Offline racing against an AI that acts like an intelligent human is perfection for a lot of people.
Player counts are important for a game with LS elements. This much is known even Sony knows this. Of course it's important for a game like this.
The latest free update for Sony’s idiosyncratic racing game has helped the Gran Turismo series continue its popularity, according to its lead, Kazunori Yamauchi.
This is somehow the game I have put the most time into on my ps5 so far. It also convinced me to add a psvr2 and wheel, which I am both happy I have and angry I bought at the same time lol
Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi has let slip that Gran Turismo 7's next update will arrive the week commencing 30th November 2023. Here are the seven cars, revealed, set to be included.
I see at least one dodge challenger. One Renault. One Porsche 911 of some sort, And one possible Skyline
This one is gonna be good, I think GT fans have been waiting for this one for months now... fully expect a new track in here, and hopefully some significant single player events/missions.
Some new configurations to Sport Mode would be awesome too. Give us a reason to use these amazing new cars!
The 190E Evo 2 is such a cool addition... with the Alfa and BMW E30 M3, we can now do full-blown 1992 DTM races.
And the LFA....for obvious reasons....awesome.
4 daily races (weekly races in fact) please. Or keep the 3. And have 1 rotating one daily.
I hope this is the case. Would not be surprised if GT6 ended up being a launch title for PS4. Theres a strong possibility Uncharted 4 may do that, so why not GT6?
i am a firm believer that we will not see anything on ps4 until either the PlayStation meeting or e3 next year.
Omg...
What a shit article.
Its clear that if they announce gt6 it will be a ps3 title for now.
Every playstation console has at least 2 Gran Turismo titles in its library. I hope PS3 don't turn to be the exception.
A 10 second teaser zooming in Drake's face in true 1080p HD hyping the PS4 and next gen with Uncharted 4. Either at Gamescom or this year VGAs. That would be brilliant, no PS4 announcement, no UC4 announcement, just 10 seconds of pure hype.
Oh, I'm dreaming now, no one in the industry is 'smart' enough to do such a trick xd
