Start Your Engines- Gran Turismo Sport Is Out On October 17

Polyphony’s next installment of the long-running sim racing series Gran Turismo will be out very soon. Gran Turismo Sport was last announced to have a fall release date back at E3, after having to delay he game inevitably from its original launch that supposed to be November last year.

Publishers Sony has announced the exact date of the release: October 17, 2017. That’s for US and Asia, with releases for Europe and Japan on the October 18 and 19 respectively.

After the long delay, Polyphony has rolled out a closed beta test that has been running for months now. It was updated recently and allowed players to do online races with tyre wear, fuel consumption and mechanical damage turned on. Speaking to GT Planet, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi hinted that another beta might be available, offering more features to be test out for more people.

The end of the year will be a busy one for sim racer aficionados as Bandai Namco’s Project CARS 2 is scheduled to launch on September 22, with Microsoft’s Forza Motorsport 7 coming on October 3. GT Sport will be the last of the pack to be released.
