Gran Turismo Sport launches on 16 November 2016, watch the new trailer
Pre-orders for retail, limited and digital editions open today
At an exclusive unveiling event in London this morning with Kazunori Yamauchi, it was revealed that Gran Turismo Sport will release on 16th November 2016. Watch the new trailer here.
Gran Turismo Sport places you straight into the driving seat of some of the fastest, most aspirational cars on the planet. These include the very latest road cars recreated with unprecedented precision by the team at Polyphony Digital to deliver the most detailed and authentic models in Gran Turismo history.
The game is available to pre-order now from both PlayStation Store and retailers across New Zealand. Before you race off to secure your copy though, you’ll need to decide which version is right for you. On top of the Standard Edition full game, we’ve also got several additional options:
• Gran Turismo Sport Collector’s Edition
• Gran Turismo Sport Steel Book Edition
• Gran Turismo Sport Plus Edition
Gran Turismo Sport Collector’s Edition includes an exclusive miniature model of the Mercedes-AMG GTS and a detailed car-lover’s guide written by the experts at Polyphony Digital themselves. Both the Steel Book Edition and Plus Edition, meanwhile, come jam-packed with a selection of digital exclusives and extras.
Selected retailers will also have a range of themed ‘head-start’ packs available to pre-order, so make sure to check in with your local shops to see what’s on offer.
FIA Pre-Season Championship
Today’s unveiling also marked the first chance community members have had to get hands on with Gran Turismo Sport, as a select group from Europe, Asia and US competed in a special FIA-licenced GT tournament.
You can check out the fully archived event on the Sony PlayStation official YouTube page where you can catch up on anything you missed and see who was crowned the first FIA Gran Turismo Sport Pre-season Champion.
