Polyphony Digital

clearly taken over so

when the state of play came on and Kaz came on with Gran Turismo and Polyphony Digital and I said do you think next year they announce the next Gran Turismo and you said no chance no chance Ladies and gentlemen, news story number five.

During the State of Play, Polyphony detailed a major update for GT7.

They also mentioned that next year is the 30th anniversary of Gran Turismo.

Cue myself to ask that question after the show.

Does Gran Turismo 8 get announced during the anniversary and it being a PS6 game? Well...

polyphony digital has posted a number of job listings on its official website all but confirming the studio is knuckling down on the next installment in the gran turismo franchise as for job listings for the new gran turismo project they're covering everything from build engineer racing programmer and graphics programmer to vehicle simulation programmer and ui designer interesting the description for the vehicle simulation programmer is quite ambitious sounding The vehicle simulation programmer will work to improve the vehicle simulation engine of the Gran Turismo series and recreate mechanisms unique to individual cars.

It reads, Gran Turismo 7 was released for PS5 and PS4 in March 2022 and at last count, early this year, it surpassed 17 million units sold.

I, I know it's quite dry.

It's, it's of course the, you know, Sony Polyphony Digital's absolute classic car, you know, ode to car and car, car history and racing and all of that.

But yeah, GT7 is really, really, really good.

I have played through the entire campaign.

Like, or, or yesterday or, or six months ago, something.

Like, it, it's gonna take Polyphony Digital or, or whatever, you know, another eight years to release another Gran Turismo, so I'm not, you know, expecting that any time soon.

Um, they, they keep on making MLB The Show.

That's great.

Nope.

It is the Polyphony Digital game, Omega Boost.

Omega Boost.

Oh.

Wow

...

I don't think they were even called Polyphony Digital at that point.

I think they were-

A huge fan.

Polyphony did an amazing job with this game, and I'm glad they're continuing to support it.

They absolutely are a studio that has incredibly large breaths of time in between their projects, and I love to see that they're continuing to support that.

the best track racer bar none um that is not something like i racing or uh beam ng or whatever um is a really nice happy medium um and having played i'll talk about this later i talked about it last week but having played some of the some of the motor sports um from playground uh, or whatever studio does that playground.

But they haven't changed anything since launch.

Obviously Polyphony are experts at racing games, so all their patches and stuff have been either to add cars, add tracks, um, add modes.

Sophie had a lot of patches.

I think Sophie came in stages of patches.

Metro 2039 will bring upgraded AI, weather dynamics, and expanded survival systems in a bombed-out Moscow underground.

For racers, Polyphony Digital has revealed the ambitious Gran Turismo 7 Spec 4 update, which will roll out in two parts later this year.

New tracks inspired by classic European circuits, additional cars, and enhanced VR support are just the tip of the iceberg.

Fan feedback will shape the second wave, showing Polyphony's ongoing commitment to community-driven improvements.

So...

But why would he not want to criticize Polyphony?

Because he's one of the boys.

He doesn't want to get

No.

But Polyphonic thought, no, we can put a serious racer on this handheld.

It's powerful enough.

Let's do it.
