While the version uploaded is the developer build, that bodes well for those looking forward to trying out the Gran Turismo 7 beta. Given the game’s huge online component, it’s just a matter of when the beta will formally be conducted rather than if. Chances are, Polyphony Digital is testing the beta client out on their own, though we’re hoping players will be roped in soon.
