BACK TO PACE: GT7 could be on our shelves very soon

The continued promotion of Gran Turismo 7 in the lead up to the PS5’s release could point to the game being available to us immediately following the console’s launch!

Gran Turismo 7 Specs

Whilst the PS5 will be able to produce a 4K 120Hz resolution for certain games, Gran Turismo 7 is aiming for a 4K 60Hz Ray Tracing offering instead.

This addition of Ray Tracing allows for incredibly dynamic and realistic lighting that should revolutionise the console gaming experience.

What will it cost?

With regards to price, it is likely that the standard edition will launch for around £50. However, next-gen prices could move the baseline for games up to around £60.

A Limited Edition version may launch for a price closer to £70-£80, with a number of benefits over the standard edition.
