There’s new Gran Turismo 7 content coming, but it’s for those who haven’t played Gran Turismo 7 yet. PlayStation revealed a new trial version of GT7 called My First Gran Turismo is set to launch later this year around the holiday season.
My First Gran Turismo is “designed to attract diverse players of all skill levels to the globally acclaimed Gran Turismo 7”. The car selection, tracks and race events in this demo will “evoke the nostalgia and excitement of the very first GT experience”.
This is essentially Gran Turismo 7 Prologue, but made available after the release of GT7.
If the aim is to evoke nostalgia from past GT games, we could expect the demo to include some of the fan-favourite fantasy tracks. With the latest July 2024 update (Update 1.49), GT7 has the cars and tracks to recreate Gran Turismo 5.
It would be more interesting if leading up to My First Gran Turismo’s release, GT7 gets updated with more cars and tracks, all having been represented in past games.
My First Gran Turismo is part of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebration. PlayStation will also be releasing game soundtracks to Spotify and other music storfronts, new physical toys, free multiplayer weekends, esports tournaments and more.
My First Gran Turismo will be available later this year for PS4 and PS5. We have three months left to wait for news so expect to hear more about what this free demo is supposed to be soon.
