A Gran Turismo 7 focussed State of Play will occur on February 2nd

Sony have announced a new State of Play broadcast for February 2nd at 2pm (PT) / 5pm (ET)  / 10pm (GMT). Gran Turismo 7 will be taking “centre stage” during the broadcast so expect a lots of footage from that game, but perhaps there will be a few other announcements as well. The broadcast will include “30 minutes of new PS5 footage and gameplay details for Gran Turismo 7.”

Ahead of the racing sequel’s March 4th release date, we now know when Gran Turismo 7 will be available to preload on PS5 as well as the game’s file size. According to PlayStation Game Size, GT7 will weigh in just shy of 90 gigs at 89.445GB. Note that subsequent updates and patches may increase this.

When can you play Gran Turismo 7 on PS5? Those who preorder the long-awaited PlayStation exclusive will be able to download the game from February 25, 2022. However, it won’t activate until a couple of weeks later on March 4, 2022.

Last week new Gran Turismo 7 trailer gives racers a taste of what the PS5 version has to offer. The thirty-second clip doesn’t have much depth, nor does it dive into some of GT7’s new and improved racing features. Instead it gives us a quick tour of several PS5 exclusive features.

Adaptive triggers and the DualSense controller’s enhanced haptic feedback will give Gran Turismo 7 some immersive texture when out on the track. You can dial this up by plugging into the console’s 3D audio, the PS5 version also boasting rapid loading times with 60fps gameplay in 4K with HDR.

March 4th will herald the return of racing royalty, promising to be the richest Gran Turismo experience to date. It’s been the best part of decade since the last numbered game in the series, with GT Sport having taken an interesting detour to emphasise multiplayer and encouraging good sportsmanship out on the track.
