What is Included in My First Gran Turismo?

This will not be an update that takes place in the full game much like what has been seen in the past.My First Gran Turismo is a completely separate download that will feature eighteen unique cars to learn.These cars are aimed at creating a diverse experience as the tracks included will be the Kyoto Driving Park, Deep Forest Raceway and Trial Mountain Circuit. The two later circuits date back to the original Gran Turismo, while Kyoto Driving Park was introduced more recently.

There will be License Tests up to International B, the Music Rally which can be selected in the main game at the main menu, Races, Time Trials and Practice Runs. The Sunday Cup, Clubman Cup and GT Cup will be selectable as this drives to bring some nostalgia from the original Gran Turismo. Some of the cars that are included range from a 1970 Dodge Challenger and a mid-90s Mazda RX-7 to a Ferrari GTO and a Lamborghini Countach.

Gran Turismo 7 November Update Adds Five Cars

The November update for Gran Turismo 7 has officially been revealed and will be available on November 21 for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Including PlayStation VR2 Support

Those that own a PlayStation 5 with a PlayStation VR2 headset will get to experience virtual reality with My First Gran Turismo.Many adopters of the PlayStation VR2 headset state thatGran Turismo 7is the reason, alone, to purchase the headset. Hands-on experience with playing in VR offers the best VR racing experience out of the box, and those with a PlayStation 5 Pro will receive even greater visual fidelity and performance.

This, of course, needs the full immersion of a racing wheel setup to do so. Players will not use the included controllers with the headset to drive, as only the DualSense or a connected wheel will work for the game. The included VR2 controllers are needed simply to load into the game, though.
