Polyphony Digital has revealed that the Gran Turismo 7 PSVR2 update will go live on February 21 on the PS5, bringing support for the virtual reality headset for free as promised. PSVR2 players will also be able to enjoy an exclusive “VR Showroom” accessible from the Garage or the in-game car dealerships, where the aesthetic detail of their cars can be experienced in 4K VR.
In January, Sony promised PSVR2 support in Gran Turismo 7 as part of a free upgrade that would coincide with the launch of the virtual reality headset. That update will now go live on February 21 alongside the PSVR2 launch, and will let players experience all races and game modes (excluding 2P Split Screen) in VR.
Gran Turismo 7 Next Update 1.29 Details for PSVR2:
Gran Turismo 7 on the PSVR2 runs at 120fps and makes full use of HDR tone mapping. It also supports dynamic 3D audio and foveated rendering, which is advanced eye-tracking concentrated on the fovea centralis to render the greatest amount of visual detail exactly where the player is looking. Additionally, Polyphony Digital has added a PSVR2-exclusive “VR Showroom” that can be accessed from the Garage or in-game car dealerships. The VR Showroom allows players to admire the unparalleled graphical detail in both the interior and exterior of their cars, with 12 selectable backgrounds and a variety of angles and lighting conditions.
Though the update is exclusive to the PS5 version, Gran Turismo 7 is available now on both the PS5 and PS4. PS4 players can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 should they choose.
