Gran Turismo 7is the latest main entry in theGran Turismoseries of racing titles, best known for emulating the look and feel of numerous real-world race car models and becoming the bestselling PlayStation-exclusive IP of all time. It was released cross-gen in 2022 as the first main game in almost a decade, receiving mostly praise for its presentation and handling, but criticism for its usage of modern trends such as microtransactions and the always-online DRM, as well as the emphasis on grinding to unlock content.
