Gran Turismo 7 takes all the good bits of Gran Turismo’s past, shakes it up, and adds a sprinkling of car culture to sweeten the deal.

From its photo-realism to its pinpoint handling and extensive amount of additional features, Gran Turismo 7 is another first-party PS5 success and a new benchmark for performance and visuals on the console.

| 33bits | Diego Sierra | 85 / 100 | 03-11-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is the most complete and fun installment of the saga. The driving is a delight and the whole game exudes passion and love for motorsports, but at the same time, the steps forward are too subtle and elements that have been in the players’ sights for years, such as collisions, have not been polished. and artificial intelligence. Gran Turismo 7 is an evolution, but it is not the great revolution that the saga has pending. | Read review |

| AnaitGames | Víctor Manuel Martínez García | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | With this new entry, Polyphony Digital proves why Gran Turismo is a dream come true for car enthusiasts, even with its flaws and odd decisions as a race simulator. | Read review |
| Areajugones | Claudio Torres | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is the pinnacle of simulators, and no longer just driving. In addition, the game goes a step further and borders on eroticism in the motor world: observing the cars, taking pictures of them and seeing relaxing cinematics of these driving is not only part of Gran Turismo 7, but is one of its fundamental pillars. In short, the game is a perfect cocktail of elegance and competition. | Read review |
| Ars Technica | Jonathan M. Gitlin | Recommended | 03-02-2022 | GT7 will try to tempt you to open your real wallet to buy in-game credits a little more frequently than you might like. Each time you buy a car or a tuning part in the game, the dialogue includes an option to top up your credits via the PlayStation Store. | Read review |
| Atomix | Alberto Desfassiaux | 92 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter for all GT fans. Finally, Polyphony Digital is launching the game the we have been waiting for. | Read review |
| Attack of the Fanboy | Elliott Gatica | 4.5 / 5 stars | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to people who enjoy cars in general. Its next-gen capabilities create an immersive sense of realism down to driving on its expansive list of tracks. | Read review |
| AusGamers | Steve Farrelly | 9.1 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | After all, videogames serve to fulfil fantasy, right? So why not let players jump between stage rallies and supercars; between the garage and the showroom?. | Read review |
| BaziCenter | Mohammad Talebian | 9.5 / 10 | 03-13-2022 | Polyphony Digital is back with a bang, and while some may argue that Forza is a better all-round racing game, there is no reason why we can’t enjoy them both, as Gran Turismo 7 is a beast of its own. | Read review |
| Cerealkillerz | Nick Erlenhof | 9.1 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Let’s make it short and simple: Gran Turismo 7 is amazing. It looks superb, plays differently with every car in a realistic way and keeps the failure of Gran Turismo Sport way behind it. If you are even slightly interested in racing simulations, there is no way around Gran Turismo 7 | Read review |
| CGMagazine | David Walters | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is the definitive driving experience of this generation, but may a lot to take in for the casual player | Read review |
| Checkpoint Gaming | Unknown | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is essentially a celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary, melding features old and new and presenting it on next-generation hardware. Polyphony Digital’s sheer love of cars and obsession with detail flows through every single part of this game. The forced main campaign could be a turn off for some, but it is countered by their use of subtle, innovative haptic feedback and the experience of driving these legendary cars around legendary tracks. There is a method to the madness. The world is quickly moving on from fossil fuels and combustion engines, but there is no denying that these are some beautiful machines… and this is a beautiful game. | Read review |
| Chicas Gamers | Antonio J. Rodríguez | Recommended | 03-11-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a title that brings together all the good things that have been done over the years and, although it has certain flaws, it has room for improvement and the possibility of polishing it with constant updates. The fact of coming out on two consoles with different powers seems to have made it difficult for it to become the technical ceiling of the genre, although it maintains the level. | Read review |
| COGconnected | Rhett Waselenchuk | 96 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is the best driving game I’ve ever played. Period. It’s not a hardcore simulation of the likes of Assetto Corsa Competizione or iRacing, but for my money, I now prefer Gran Turismo. It’s the ultimate celebration of something that’s part of Kazunori Yamauchi’s very being and an incredible effort to bring his love for automobiles to the world. See you on the starting line. | Read review |
| Cultured Vultures | Ashley Bates | 8 / 10 | 03-09-2022 | While some off-track quirks diminish the experience somewhat, Gran Turismo 7’s excellent gameplay places it firmly ahead of most of the racing game genre. | Read review |

| DASHGAMER.com | Dan Rizzo | 8 / 10 | 03-21-2022 | So the question remains, is Gran Turismo 7 the Real Driving Simulator’s return to form? Truthfully, yes. It’s a fantastic soft reboot of the classic racer that has been dormant for too long, and was desperate for a refreshing take. While GT6 was met with a lukewarm response from gamers after being heralded by critics, it just couldn’t live up to the hype. | Read review |
| Destructoid | Chris Carter | 8.5 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 isn’t the second coming of racing games, and it doesn’t need to be. It still captures that feeling of spending hours and hours admiring your garage and flipping through car facts from a few of the best entries in the series, and still feels like a big-budget racer. | Read review |
| Digital Chumps | Ben Sheene | 9 / 10 | 02-01-2020 | Gran Turismo 7 seeks to ignite a passion for vehicles. From exceptional realism to the numbing amount of customization options, GT7 is an ocean of driving simulation that does its best to ensure newcomers won’t drown but enthusiasts will be happily swept up. | Read review |

| DualShockers | Dean James | 8.5 / 10 | 03-12-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a welcome return for the series after the lackluster GT Sport, even though there are some flaws that are mostly associated with microtransactions. The visuals and racing physics are top-notch as always and the game’s unique campaign that teaches you about the history of the automotive industry will keep car enthusiasts and newbies alike engaged for hours as they play through Gran Turismo 7. | Read review |

| Echo Boomer | David Fialho | Recommended | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 its the celebration of the saga and an extraordinary tribute to auto industry.

| Explosion Network | Dylan Blight | 8 / 10 | 03-10-2022 | Gran Turismo is still the premiere racing simulator that fans will love, and it’s been so long since a proper GT game, the car enthusiast PlayStation fans will be more than happy to see GT come home. | Read review |
| Game Informer | Brian Shea | 8.8 / 10 | 03-09-2022 | Despite its multiplayer shortcomings, Gran Turismo 7 is a terrific racing experience. I love the emphasis on car collection and the respect paid to the history of automobiles and racing culture. Gran Turismo 7 provides some of the best driving mechanics available and gives you several guided ways in which to engage with it. While it sometimes spends too much time off the track, every long cutscene is clearly done with love, and that sentiment shines through even more on the track. | Read review |
| Game Rant | Dalton Cooper | 4 / 5 stars | 03-03-2022 | Time will tell how fans will react to Gran Turismo 7’s microtransactions, but putting them aside, what’s there is still a deep racing game experience that will keep fans of the genre busy for hours on end. It’s a gorgeous racing game and while it’s not going to be knocking down any boundaries to convert non-racing game fans, Gran Turismo 7 should greatly appeal to its target audience. | Read review |

| Gameblog | HighJAHking | 8 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is far from being the best racing sim out there, but it’s a love letter to cars, and it shines in more ways than just pure racing. It’s about collecting and highlighting the beauty of cars. A must-have for every petrolhead. | Read review |

| Gamersky | Mega杰尼龟 | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a summary of the development of the Gran Turismo series over the past 25 years, with all the core strengths of the series retained and further polished. Kazunori Yamauchi has created a “car city” with plenty of game content and fun for the players. His love for car culture is reflected everywhere in the game. Although Gran Turismo 7 does not have many surprises and innovations, it is worthy of the title of “synthesizer of 25-years-old Gran Turismo series”. | Read review |
| GamesBeat | Mike Minotti | 90 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | More than how it looks or plays, I appreciate Gran Turismo 7’s vibe. It’s just pleasant. I know I can start the game, play through a few races or license tests, and make some meaningful progress. Of course, if you’re looking for something a bit more competitive, that’s there with multiplayer. I was even surprised to see the game offer a two-player splitscreen mode that ran well. But that’s not how I want to play Gran Turismo 7. I’m just here for the vibes and some relaxing rides, and GT7 is happy to let me enjoy it on my own terms. | Read review |

| Gaming Nexus | Henry Yu | 9 / 10 | 03-06-2022 | Kazunori Yamauchi wasn’t lying when he promised a paradise that celebrated car culture. Gran Turismo 7 is undoubtedly the most immersive driving sim out there today. It celebrates the series’ rich history from 1997 and brings many new additions into the formula. For all fans, from those who just want to drive some cool looking cars to those who are die-hard competitive racers, this game has got something for you. | Read review |

| GamingTrend | David Flynn | 85 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is an excellent racing simulator for those looking for a more realistic experience or to learn more about cars. There’s a ton of things to do, cars to collect, and tracks to master with the game’s great driving model. While you can feel the sheer passion the developers have for the subject, it does come with some flaws like very slow and tedious progression gates and persistent microtransaction prompts. | Read review |

| GRYOnline.pl | DM | 7 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | On PlayStation 5, Gran Turismo 7 shines because there is simply no competition. Against the background of the whole genre, however, it is a long overdue premiere of a slightly outdated game. | Read review |

| Hey Poor Player | Andrew Thornton | 4 / 5 stars | 03-14-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 provides an excellent entry point to the series for players who are new to it. If the 7 in the title feels intimidating, you can let that go. Once you do, you’ll find a game that plays as well as any racing title on the market. Some strange choices along the way hold it back from racing perfection, but this is still a game that should keep PS5 racing fans busy for a long time. | Read review |
| Hobby Consolas | Rafael Aznar | 90 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Polyphony Digital comes back to the roots with a driving simulator that feels better than ever by doing the same as ever, thanks to a very unique style. It has some little issues in terms of balance, but, inside the tracks and beyond them, it is a worthy successor of 25 years of Gran Turismo legacy. | Read review |
| IGN | Luke Reilly | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Mixing the original GT’s trendsetting format with GT Sport’s stern but very successful focus on competitive online racing, Gran Turismo 7 makes a few errors but is a potent podium performance from developer Polyphony Digital. | Read review |
| IGN Italy | Davide Mancini | 9.4 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 brings the best experience on track of the series, in an episode which links together the past, the present and the future of the franchise. Despite some minor flaws in terms of AI and collisions, the balance between simulation and accessibility is simply perfect, and DualSense is incredible. In terms of content, career mode shines and let players discover the history of automotive with love and passion, while multiplayer and custom events will let live Gran Turismo 7 for long long time. | Read review |

| Impulsegamer | Paul Stuart | 4.2 / 5 stars | 03-03-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a gorgeous celebration of all things driving. It’s splendid presentation and 400 + car homage to the world’s favorite vehicles is a car lover’s dream. What it isn’t, however, is a true ‘real driving simulator.’ While easily a step up from GT Sport in offerings and presentation, those looking for an exhilarating gameplay experience will likely be disappointed. | Read review |
| Jump Dash Roll | Pete Taylor | 8 / 10 | 03-18-2022 | Many will look at the microtransactions and be instantly turned off by what’s on offer from Gran Turismo 7. However, if you can look past the cash grab, it is a racing game capable of generating some amazing and intense racing experiences that even fully fledged racing sims would be jealous of. | Read review |
| JVL | Raptor | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | That the wait was long, but what a pleasure to find the license at this level. Gran Turismo 7 offers us an absolutely gargantuan menu that rhymes competition with passion. If this opus still drags some 25-year-old flaws (collisions, damage), it reconnects with its glorious past with its exhilarating gaming sensations, bluffing graphics and a plethoric content that promises an incomparable lifespan. | Read review |
| LevelUp | Pedro Pérez Cesari | 8.7 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a great racing game. It’s clear that Polyphony Digital learned from the missteps of Gran Turismo Sport to deliver a game that, in conjunction with being an extremely solid experience, is the return to its roots that fans were hoping for. While it’s certainly not an arcade experience, it does enough to be approachable for those who are not experts but want a deep racing game with a lot of content. | Read review |
| M3 | P-A Knutsson | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | With the best parts from Gran Turismo Sport and a comeback for the classic Gran Turismo fighting shark, the seventh part of the Gran Turismo series promises plenty. Add to that new game modes, even better control and magical lighting effects. Although the realistic surroundings and a couple of small competitions can make it tedious on the track sometimes, Gran Turismo 7 is the most complete and elaborate car game until then. | Read review |

| New Game Network | Alex Varankou | 78 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 continues to go about its brand of racing simulation in a uniquely eccentric and elegant way. It looks and handles as great as ever, though there is not much novelty here to get excited about, and the always-online requirement remains unwarranted. | Read review |
| Next Gen Base | Asim Tanvir | 10 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | A car enthusiast’s dream playground and welcoming to casuals, whatever your skill level, it’s hard not to love Gran Turismo 7. It’s tough to find a genuine fault. Every facet is so expertly crafted. Charming, fun and often stunning, Gran Turismo 7 is the series at its best. The real driving simulator is back. | Read review |
| Niche Gamer | Jonathan White | 8 / 10 | 03-22-2022 | At the end of the day, I’d argue that Gran Turismo 7 is the most accessible entry in the series so far. There are a considerable amounts of driving assist that help newcomers get acclimated with how driving works in Gran Turismo, but it’s never going to be Ridge Racer so unless you’re passionate about cars, this series still might be a little too deep for the average racing game fan. | Read review |

| PlayStation LifeStyle | Louis Edwards | 10 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | The Gran Turismo franchise has always impressed me, from 1997 until today. Kazunori Yamauchi had a vision in 1992 of a game that would look and feel just like real life. Gran Turismo 7 hits that mark dead on with the sights, the sounds, the physics, and the animations of real-world driving and real-world racing. | Read review |
| PlayStation Universe | John-Paul Jones | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Though Gran Turismo 7 certainly carries the baggage of some of the weaker elements from previous games, a steadfast return to the generous single-player campaign offerings of old, together with a significantly upgraded visual presentation and most importantly a deeply felt love for cars that bleeds through every aspect of the game all ensures that one single statement is true – Gran Turismo is back. | Read review |

| Press Start | Steven Impson | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a car-lover’s dream. Whether you love cars already or have just started your journey into being a car person, GT7 wants to welcome you to the community with open arms, get you up to speed and give you everything it can to help you enjoy cars in whatever ways it’s able. It has a wealth of car history to share, incredible feeling driving and some of the best visuals I’ve seen in a driving game. There are some cars I wish were included (Mount Panorama and no Aussie V8 Supercars? Come on, mate!) and the always online requirement might be a deal breaker for some, but even with all that Gran Turismo 7 is the friendliest, most approachable driving simulation I’ve played with all the depth of options you’d expect for seasoned car enthusiasts. | Read review |
| PSX Brasil | Bruno Henrique Vinhadel | 90 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise’s traditional formula gets good improvements, but it’s still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5, but ends up being somewhat technically limited in its PS4 version. | Read review |

| Rice Digital | Pete Davison | Recommended | 03-15-2022 | It’s more accessible than the hardcore racing sims available on PC, but offers more depth, complexity and realism than your average arcade racer.

It’s just a shame that doesn’t seem to happen all that often these days… | Read review |

| Shacknews | Chris Jarrard | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | While most of my thoughts above may be interpreted as negatives, I genuinely feel that Gran Turismo 7 is the PS5’s killer app. It doesn’t offer cinematic visuals like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, nor does it carry the same core-gamer street cred as Demon’s Souls, but it delivers an ocean of top-tier content for those who can’t resist the allure of horsepower. | Read review |
| Sirus Gaming | Lexuzze Tablante | 9.5 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 quenches the need for speed. It’s not made just for the fans, but for everyone, and Polyphony learned what they’ve lacked in GT Sport. Gran Turismo 7 is the best racing game of 2022. Period. | Read review |
| SomHráč.sk | Martin Kubeš | 90 / 100 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a beautiful celebration of the 25th anniversary of the franchise. Polyphony Digital have taken every lesson they have learned over the years and put it to use, however there is still a few things that could be called a bit archaic. Even so, motorsport fans will be feasting in the coming years. | Read review |
| SpazioGames | Domenico Musicò | 7.6 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 embraces the career mode and presents a whole new aesthetics for menus and competitions. Nevertheless, it is a game that refuses the modernity and chooses to be identical to the first GT in terms of IA inconsistency. | Read review |
| Stevivor | Hamish Lindsay | 7.5 / 10 | 03-16-2022 | When you’re in it and smashing around the track against expert AI or other players, this is where Gran Turismo 7 excels. All of the weirdness that Polyphony Digital has bolted on to this quality car game fades away into obscurity. But sadly, that’s not all this is. Instead, it’s a jumble of well-made car racing and strange design decisions, coupled with his tonally odd take on what it means to be a car nerd. For now though, Gran Turismo 7 is the best console racing game for the masses, at least until another contender comes along. | Read review |

| The Games Machine | Stefano Calzati | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 brings the saga back to a balance between single player and multiplayer, with a rich, dense campaign with a relaxed but constant and satisfying progression. The control system is spectacular, enhanced by DualSense, while the lighting and attention to detail do justice to the potential of PlayStation 5. Pure automotive culture. | Read review |
| The Outerhaven Productions | Karl Smart | 4 / 5 stars | 03-05-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is probably the best racing simulation game on the market right now, something that every car fanatic needs to own. Gran Turismo 7 allows you to fine-tune everything from the motor, to the circuits, to the paint, and more. Everything can be made just the way you want it to be. Gran Turismo 7 is also the BEST looking game on the PlayStation 5… PERIOD. Everything is reflective, from the paint to the chrome on the wheel covers… It’s AMAZING. If you’re a racing fanatic, then this is the game for you. | Read review |
| TheSixthAxis | Stefan L | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 takes everything that was excellent about GT Sport’s fantastic multiplayer, high fidelity cars and circuits and innovative Scapes mode, and builds up a more traditional GT experience around it. It’s got its own quirky new ideas which will likely be passing diversions to most, but at its core, this is the Gran Turismo you know and love. Broad and accessible, but with depth, nuance and competitive racing for those keen to find it. | Read review |
| Too Much Gaming | Carlos Hernandez | 8 / 10 | 03-03-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 checks all of the boxes of what would be expected from a palatable Gran Turismo game, but has some questionable design choices that weigh it down. With Gran Turismo Café leading the way, this is the most approachable GT game to newcomers, whether in the series, or of car racing in general. | Read review |
| TrueGaming | Unknown | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 returns to the roots of the series and offers us everything we loved in the previous main parts and extended with distinctive fees and a new gameplay elements. | Read review |
| TrustedReviews | Kob Monney | 4.5 / 5 stars | 03-07-2022 | One of the more accessible and engaging entries in the series, Gran Turismo 7 offers tremendous breadth of features and an excellent driving experience in a very polished package.

| Twinfinite | Omar Banat | 4 / 5 stars | 03-02-2022 | All in all, Gran Turismo 7 is looking like it could be the best racing game of 2022. There are so many other superlatives you can go with for this game like it’s the best-looking PS5 game or it’s one of the best PlayStation exclusives of this generation so far, but the important thing is that the game is just straight-up fun. Despite a few stumbles here and there, the shine of Gran Turismo 7 greatly exceeds the negatives and makes it a must-have for anyone that’s looking for their next PS5 title. | Read review |
| Unboxholics | Θέμης Μπολτσής | Recommended | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 not only celebrates the 25th anniversary of the series, but celebrates car culture as a whole. Despite some minor flaws, Polyphony Digital created a “must-have” game for PlayStation owners who have even a little bit of interest in the racing genre. | Read review |
| VG247 | Andi Hamilton | Recommended | 03-02-2022 | After the now customary delays, Gran Turismo 7 is here, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series and a celebration is a fair way of looking at it – it feels like a real ‘best of’ all things Gran Turismo | Read review |
| VGC | Jordan Middler | 3 / 5 stars | 03-02-2022 | If you can suffer through the clunky menus, endless dull dialogue and 100 visits to the cafe, then there’s an excellent racing game somewhere hidden in Gran Turismo 7. | Read review |
| VideoGamer | Josh Wise | 10 / 10 | 03-04-2022 | Polyphony has delivered an airtight flight from the everyday, rich in escape yet rooted in anything but fantasy. | Read review |
| WayTooManyGames | Leonardo Faria | 7 / 10 | 03-10-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 was a mixed experience. I love its car loving philosophy, giving us gearheads a playground to mess around with some of the most beautiful and powerful machines ever created. Sadly, for every aspect Polyphony has knocked out of the park, such as the quality of the models and the Music Rally mode, there was something else that made the overall package feel like a glorified PS3 racing game covered with a next-gen, ray-traced coat of paint. | Read review |
| Wccftech | Chris Wray | 9 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is an excellent game. It looks fantastic, with features like the photo and scapes modes, making the game look eerily photo-realistic. On the track, racing is top-notch. Every car feels unique; every change in the garage and every decision on the track matters. However, it doesn’t mean there aren’t issues. Always online requirements have failed me numerous times and lost progress when the servers have died; this is before launch. In addition to this, there’s just a looming issue of time; the game doesn’t value your time with the campaign (cafe menus), having it move at a glacially slow pace at best. Also, the soundtrack is atrocious. Still, whatever faults I find, they are far outweighed by overwhelming positives. | Read review |
| We Got This Covered | Jon Hueber | 4.5 / 5 stars | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a “real-driving simulation” revelation, taking full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s power and the DualSense controller to create one of the best racing games ever. | Read review |
| Worth Playing | Cody Medellin | 8.5 / 10 | 03-02-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is a smorgasbord of esoteric ideas that create a more than solid racing title. The forced history lessons can break the flow of going in and out of races for some, while others might hate that there was so much hype around elements that feel superfluous since they don’t affect the races. The campaign flow is excellent for those looking for granular structure, but others will hate how it locks some prominent modes for too long. The actual racing remains absolutely brilliant, however, to the point where some players will ignore the quirks because the act of playing is excellent enough for those of all skill levels to enjoy. For those who have waited this long for another mainline entry, Gran Turismo 7 is a grand reward for their patience. | Read review |
| Zoomg | محمد صادق تواضعی | 9 / 10 | 03-15-2022 | Gran Turismo 7 is exactly the product that fans of the series have been waiting for in the past. | Read review |
