Gran Turismo Sport is an upcoming racing video game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 video game console. It was announced at the 2015 Paris Games Week and is the thirteenth game overall in the Gran Turismo video game series and the first game in the series to release on PlayStation 4. The game has been referred to by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi as the first in a new generation or new era of Gran Turismo games, with the first 6 main releases recognised as the first generation and GT Sport marking the beginning of a new era into the second generation.
GT Sport will include three game modes: "Campaign", "Sports Mode" and "Arcade Mode". Both offline and online racing will feature in the game. The game has been described as different from the "Prologue" titles seen in the past in the series and will feature more content. Unlike its predecessors, the game does not feature dynamic weather and day-night cycle. However, players still have the option to modify the race's time of day before entering the race.
The FIA aims to formally ratify the "Gran Turismo Online Championship" at the next World Motorsport Council meeting. Two championships will be held simultaneously throughout the year: the "Nations Cup" where players represent their country and the "Manufacturers Cup" where players represent their favourite car manufacturer. Once ratified, the FIA will manage the series directly as they would with any of their other race series. The winners of the championships will be honoured at the FIA's annual prize-giving ceremony in Paris.
The Nations Cup and the Manufacturers Cup will have "live" components similar to the regional finals held in the GT Academy competition. Organised "online events" are planned to be held on a regular basis.
Gran Turismo Sport was originally announced to be fully compatible with Sony Interactive Entertainment's virtual reality headset, PlayStation VR. The experience while playing was described by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi as "very good and very natural". However, it was announced later that VR support would be limited to a special VR Tour Mode.
