Sony confirmed last week that racing legend Lewis Hamilton will play a significant role in the game, dishing out advice for players.
Gran Turismo Sport for PS5?
Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has previously said that GT Sport’s car models are so detailed they would not look out of place on the PS5. He also suggested the game could run at 8K on Sony’s next-generation console.
As for the inevitable Gran Turismo 7, Yamauchi-san made it clear that the game is not currently in the pipeline as all focus is on PS4 and GT Sport for the time being.
The Gran Turismo franchise is one of Sony’s biggest first-party properties, having sold over 76 million copies worldwide since 1997. For the first time in the series’ history, GT Sport will feature Porsche cars following EA’s exclusivity deal with the brand wrapping up.
