In celebration of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, Sony is offering a special treat for racing enthusiasts: a free version of Gran Turismo 7, aptly named “My First Gran Turismo,” available to all PS4 and PS5 users starting December 6, 2024.
This complimentary edition is tailored for newcomers, providing a streamlined experience that captures the essence of the iconic racing series. Players can engage in three race events, three Music Rally stages, and three time trials. Additionally, a comprehensive suite of License Tests is included to help players hone their driving skills. The game features 18 unique cars and a selection of the series’ most renowned tracks, offering a nostalgic journey for long-time fans and an accessible entry point for beginners.
For those seeking a more immersive experience, “My First Gran Turismo” is compatible with PlayStation VR2, allowing players to feel as though they’re truly behind the wheel. It’s important to note that while this version offers a substantial glimpse into the Gran Turismo universe, it doesn’t encompass all the features of the full release. However, it serves as an enticing introduction, potentially inspiring players to explore the complete game or anticipate future installments.
This initiative is part of a broader celebration of PlayStation’s three-decade legacy, which includes various events and special releases. Notably, Sony has introduced limited-time themes for the PS5 that pay homage to previous console generations, allowing users to customize their interface with a nostalgic touch.
“My First Gran Turismo” is available for download without any PlayStation Plus subscription requirements, and there’s no specified time limit for its availability. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or new to the track, this offering provides an excellent opportunity to experience the thrill of Gran Turismo at no cost.
