Since its formal announcement, Gran Turismo 7 has received minimal information besides varying updates. Following its recent appearance at PlayStation Showcase 2021, Gran Turismo 7's pre-order bonuses and editions have been revealed.
Gran Turismo 7 was announced during the PS5 reveal event last year, offering fans a glimpse at the game's visuals as well as some insight on the game's development. Despite being announced there, earlier this year Gran Turismo 7 was confirmed to be a cross-gen game, coming to both the PS4 and PS5, and naturally spawning question about the game's scale. The trailer shown at PlayStation Showcase may have quelled many people's fears, though, as the game looks incredible on PS5; many of the game's features were displayed including car customization and photo mode, as well as a first look at actual gameplay.
A new post on the PlayStation Blog details the pre-order bonuses for and variety of editions of next year's Gran Tursimo 7. Ken Chan, Sr. Product Manager at Sony, describes the game's two versions available: the Launch Edition, and the 25th Anniversary Edition. Buying the Launch Edition either physically or digitally will get players 3 additional cars—the Toyota Castrol TOM'S Supra, the Mazda RX-VISION GT3 Concept (Stealth), and the Porsche 917K Living Legend—as well as 100,000 in-game Credit (CR). Players must have an internet connection to redeem these bonuses, which is expected, unlike Gran Turismo 7's single-player online requirement.
The 25th Anniversary Edition is a larger (and sleeker) package. For starters, physical buyers will get a beautiful steelbook featuring the regular cover art without the massive logo. In addition to the bonus cars of the Launch Edition, the 25th Anniversary Edition also includes:
- Both a PS5 disc and a PS4 digital copy of Gran Tursimo 7
- 1,100,000 (CR)
- Toyota GR Yaris with country specific Livery
- 30 Manufacturer / Partner Avatars
- The Music of Gran Turismo Official Soundtrack
The Launch Edition is $69.99 and the 25th Anniversary Edition is $89.99; PS4 players will not get a free PS5 upgrade for Gran Turismo 7, though, there being a $10 fee to move up to the PS5.
From the years of rumors, to the brief appearance last year, Gran Turismo 7 is finally just months away from launching. These editions offer incentives for both casual players and enthusiasts, with more cars and currency if players are willing to pay. Gran Turismo 7 seeks to return to Classic GT racing, and it looks like PlayStation is going all-in on fulfilling that promise.
Gran Turismo 7 launches on March 4, 2022 for PS4 and PS5.
