Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 delayed by a YEAR as game-makers blame ‘Covid challenges’
CAR racing video game Gran Turismo 7 will now be delayed until 2022.
Sony has revealed that the highly anticipated game won’t be released until next year due to Covid-19 issues.
The global pandemic has caused a lot of production issues in many industries and that includes those developing video games.
Sony told GQ: “GT7 has been impacted by Covid-related production challenges and therefore will shift from 2021 to 2022.
“With the ongoing pandemic, it’s a dynamic and changing situation and some critical aspects of game production have been slowed over the past several months.
“We’ll share more specifics on GT7’s release date when available.”
Gran Turismo 7 will aim to give users a realistic racing car driver experience.
This includes the high speeds, crashes and occasionally rather dangerous weather conditions.
It seems Gran Turismo 7 will be a flagship exclusive for the PS5.
The game aims to put players firmly in the driving seat and even includes realistic vibrations so you feel like you’re in a racing car.
It’s said to be coming in impressive 4K resolution quality.
A short trailer for the game has been released and you can watch it below.
