According to the game’s producer and CEO of developer studio Polyphony Digital, Kazunori Yamauchi, the reports spread by overseas media are simply not true. In a recent interview with the Japanese portal Dengeki Online, the producer would go on record to clarify the situation, framing it as a mistranslation of one of his interviews.
This is what he had to say in an interview at the end of last month about the possibility of a Gran Turismo 7 PC port in the near future: The popular racing simulator has always been a PlayStation exclusive, but after a handful of notable leaks and developments, the community thought something bigger is in store for Gran Turismo 7. It all started falling into place after Sony started launching its most popular games on PC, which was pointed out long before in the infamous Nvidia GeForce Now leak. That same leak implied that Returnal, God of War, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure were due for a PC debut. That same list had Gran Turismo 7 on it, but many doubted the veracity of the leak until Sony started launching the aforementioned titles on PC. Kazunori Yamauchi has since gone on to clarify the situation in his latest interview saying:
— Genki✨ (@Genki_JPN) December 23, 2022 Although these statements don’t necessarily rule out the game’s PC port, it confirms that it’s not in active development right now. What makes the entire situation stranger is the fact that a Gran Turismo movie will arrive before a PC port is introduced, which is a bit unusual for a racing franchise. And while there is bound to be an audience for this project slated for release in August 2023, that’s all GT7 fans can hope for in the near future.
