The Gran Turismo Sport beta kicked off on April 15 although there is currently no closing date in sight, so you can still submit your application if you fancy getting in on the action. The full version of the upcoming racer is set to launch in 2017, although a firm release date has yet to be confirmed. The title was originally scheduled to ship in late 2016, but was pushed back to allow additional development time. 

Despite the lack of a number in the title, Gran Turismo Sport is very much a full-fledged instalment in the venerated racing franchise, with an extensive lineup of game modes including a career option and other staples such as real-time damage effects. Players can also take part in the PSVR-specific VR Tour Mode.

In 1997, Gran Turismo (GT) introduced to the world the ability to realistically recreate automobiles in 3DCG and allow gamers to virtually experience them on their home consoles. Since then, the GT series has recorded a total of 76.74 million copies (*), breaking records and winning awards on the way. In 2017, the makers of GT will take the title to the next level with the release of Gran Turismo Sport for the PlayStation®4 console, where it will promote the rebirth of motorsports with its partnership with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).”
