Many fans of the franchise are expecting that My First Gran Turismo will launch on or near Dec. 3, 2024, which is PlayStation's anniversary date.
A lot of players are excited to get into the free trial version, especially those who have not played any of the titles in the series for quite some time now, Push Square said.
Gran Turismo 7's Popularity
Gran Turismo 7 launched to a strong critical reception as it returned to the franchise's roots of an amazing single-player experience. Developer Polyphony Digital has since continued to listen to player feedback in applying improvements and addressing various issues.
There have been consistent near-monthly content updates that added new races, cars, and events to the game. The most recent of which is update 1.54, which is scheduled to arrive on Nov. 21, 2024.
Another thing that fans can expect with My First Gran Turismo is that it could feature a PS5 Pro Enhanced upgrade with 8K support. This is because Gran Turismo 7 also has this particular feature, according to Game Rant.
