We just saw the trailer for F1 The Movie and yeah… we’re hyped. It gave us all the fast-lane feels. Sadly, we’re not exactly pro racers IRL (unless riding a bicycle to work counts—lol), but hey, that’s where games come in. So, we jumped into Gran Turismo 7 on the PS5 to live out the racing dream, minus the actual danger.

Gran Turismo 7 is the real deal—it’s like a love letter to car fans. After some delays, it finally hit the track, and honestly? Worth the wait. The game feels polished, packed with cars and tracks from the start (unlike older GT games), and the driving physics are top-tier. It’s not just racing, though—there’s a whole vibe with modes like Licence Centre, Missions, and even Music Rally. If you’re craving that F1 energy, GT7 lets you live it—no helmet required.

Gran Turismo 7 PS5 Feels So Real, We Almost Called It F1: The Prequel

Racing in GT7? Straight-up chef’s kiss. It’s easily one of the most realistic driving sims out there. Whether you’re whipping a Civic, drifting a GT-R, or flexing in a Mustang, every ride has its own vibe—and it feels legit. Like, shoutout to Polyphony Digital for going full perfectionist mode.

If you’re on PS5, the DualSense controller adds a whole new level. You’ll feel every tire screech, bump in the road, and even resistance in the brakes. It’s almost like the controller’s part of the car. Plus, you’ve got hella options for controls—analog stick, motion tilt, even full racing wheels if you’re that hardcore.

Gran Turismo 7 PS5 doesn’t let you get lazy either. Races force you to switch up your cars, test new builds, and mess with tire types or PP limits (that’s car performance points, chill). Feels like F1 training camp… minus the danger and million-dollar cars.

Chill Vibes in the Menu, Then Full Send on the Track 🌸➡️🏁

Boot up GT7 and boom—you’re in a peaceful resort-looking menu screen. No chaos, just chill vibes with little pavilions you click through to access everything. But behind that calm front? A massive world of racing just waiting to go full send.

Most of your solo grind happens in the World Circuit, where you’ll race across Europe, America, and Asia. There’s tons of track variety, from Tokyo Expressway to Monza and the beast that is Nürburgring. And even on the same course, layouts switch up, so it never feels stale.

Then there’s the Café—lowkey the best part. You collect cars, complete Menu Books, and learn some car lore from your friendly host, Luca. It’s like a chill way to level up without it feeling like homework.

As you progress, you unlock tougher stuff like the Licence Center and fun extras like Mission Mode or Music Rally. GT7 gives you options, and they all slap.

Gran Turismo 7 Online: Where the Real Chaos Begins (No Scripted F1 Drama Here)”

Tired of roasting Gran Turismo 7 PS5’s AI? Slide into GT7’s online modes and race real humans—sometimes chill, sometimes straight-up menaces. You can host lobbies, tweak race rules, and invite your crew (or get smoked by strangers).

The main event is Sport mode, a ranked setup from GT Sport. Races happen at specific times daily, and entry rules vary, so you gotta come prepared. Wins boost your Driver Rank, but the real tea is your Sportsmanship Rank—basically, how clean you race.

Drive like a menace? That SR drops fast. Stay cool and respectful? You climb. It’s kinda like a karma system… except sometimes it glitches, and you get punished for someone else’s road rage. Yeah, it’s not perfect—but it keeps things fair most of the time.

Think of it like F1 The Movie, but if every character was a wildcard and had internet lag.

GT7’s Graphics and Sound? Straight Fire 🔥

Gran Turismo 7 is seriously one of the best-looking games on PS5. Like, you could pause mid-race and frame it for your wall. The cars? Practically photoreal. The tracks? Dripping in detail—from crowd animations to sunset lighting that actually hits.

Flip on ray tracing (for replays and pre/post-race scenes), and it’s like watching a car commercial in 4K. Shiny reflections on your hood, light bouncing off puddles—it’s chef’s kiss. Even the cockpit view is wild. Every dashboard, logo, and screen looks like the real deal, and in some lighting, the dash even reflects on the windshield. Insane.

Weather and time changes mid-race too, so things can go from golden hour chill to stormy chaos real quick. Pro tip: don’t skip on wet tires.

Oh—and the soundtrack slaps. Bangers + Beethoven remixes = vibes.

GT7 is a must-play. And hey, while F1 The Movie is cool, this is where the real racing magic happens. 🎬🏁
