Gameplay
During the gameplay trailer, the game's main menu was revealed to be similar to that of the menu style of Gran Turismo 4.[6] This will be the first game in the series since Gran Turismo 6 to mark the return of the GT Simulation Mode, encompassing the long-established and definitive single player campaign feature.[7] Other classic features were shown such as the return of traditional racing tracks and vehicles, Special Events, Championships, Driving School, Tuning Parts Shop, Used Cars dealership, GT Auto while still retaining the new GT Sport Mode, Brand Central and Discover that were introduced in Gran Turismo Sport.[3]
The game will take advantage of the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller, Tempest Engine and dedicated ray tracing hardware to support advanced haptic feedback, 3D spatial audio and real-time ray tracing effects, enhancing the player immersion experience.[8][9][10][11] With the increased processing power and inclusion of a custom solid state drive storage in the PlayStation 5, the game will feature reduced loading times and run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with support for high dynamic range.[12]
