As we celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, I’m thrilled to introduce My First Gran Turismo, a special free-to-play invitation to dive into the exhilarating world of motorsports. This experience holds a special place in my heart, as it pays tribute to the origins of the first Gran Turismo, where players of all generations discovered the joys of driving. Whether it’s introducing kids to the joy of racing for the first time or reigniting a forgotten passion for driving, My First Gran Turismo was designed to be both approachable and immersive, created for everyone, with no limits on age or driving skill level.

My First Gran Turismo will be available through PlayStation Store December 6 at 12:00am local time.

This isn’t just about playing a game; it’s about embarking on a personal driving journey. We’ve made sure the experience is intuitive, allowing anyone to get behind the wheel and master the essentials, such as cornering, braking, and acceleration. By playing it, users will build confidence one lap at a time, tackling new challenges that’ll steadily refine their driving skills.

Find the perfect line​

Set records, chase achievements, and take on a range of challenges. There are three Race Events, three Time Trials, three Music Rally stages, as well as a full suite of License Tests, all of which allow users to simply experience the thrill of driving.
​

Embrace the diversity of the drive​

Included are 18 unique cars, each with its own personality. Players will drive them on iconic tracks that some Gran Turismo veterans may find nostalgic, namely the Kyoto Driving Park, Deep Forest Raceway, and Trial Mountain Circuit. 
​

Full PlayStation VR2 Support (PS5 only)​

My First Gran Turismo also has full PlayStation VR2 support, allowing you to experience a whole new level of driving realism and highly immersive gameplay.

Whether you’re here for the sheer joy of driving or on a quest to master your craft, My First Gran Turismo offers everything you need to elevate your skills while reveling in the thrill of motorsports.

We can’t wait for everyone to experience My First Gran Turismo when it launches on December 6 on PS5 and PS4.

 

[R6Rider]

Very cool.

I'm guessing it won't have VR support sadly.

It actually comes with full PSVR 2 support. Going to add more info to the OP shortly.

Does it run on this?

 

[Punished Miku]

I'll try it. Haven't played a GT since PS2.

 

[Imtjnotu]

That's an Xbox

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I'll definitely check this out despite having over 100 hours in GT7 purely based on curiosity.

Slightly off topic but for anybody that likes Gran Turismo games and have access to a modded PS2/PCSX2/or speak Japanese (game is JP only originally) the game Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix just got translated recently and it's great fun. It's made my Genki which is the people that made the Shutokou Battle/Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, and did the Wangan Midnight games. Definitely worth checking out.

DustinEden did a video/stream on it so I checked it out and it's great.

I'll try it. Haven't played a GT since PS2.

GT7 is amazing, and if you happen to have a PSVR2 it's probably the single best VR experience I've ever had alongside Alyx.

 

[Viruz]

The first two songs are not in the full game and moon over the castle is on a different track.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

When i saw the "My First Gran Turismo Trailer" upload on youtube i was so confused that i thought you could make trailers on Gran Turismo.

Anyway, nice initiative. It could bring some extra players to the game for sure!

 

[V1LÆM]

Babt's first Gran Turismo.
I wonder if this will be the final first-party game on PS4?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Too bad they can't do something like this with DriveClub

 

[blue velvet]

Bring GT to PC, Kaz!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Any reason to play this if you already have GT7? Need tl;dr

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

The only new thing seems to be the three new music rallies. The first 2 consist of songs that are not there in gt7 and the last song is on a different track.

 

[ComputerBlue]

So it’s a demo?

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Nice I'll give it a try to see if I like it enough as to buy GT7

Not my fault you can't time travel smartass.

 

[lughnasadh123]

First hit is free, but the next is gonna cost ya.

 

[Represent.]

Should be My First Reaction to Naughty Dog's new game, come Sony you cowards.

So, is it the whole game people get to play for free?

 

[Unknown?]

This is like GT7 arcade mode with GT7 being simulation mode. Like back with GT2 having separate disks for both.

So, is it the whole game people get to play for free?

This offers 18 cars to collect, so no.

 

[fersnake]

just give away the full ps4 game you cheap bastards.

 

[SweetTooth]

Bring GT to PC, Kaz!

"No"

[Unknown?]

just give away the full ps4 game you cheap bastards.

It's on its way to becoming the best selling GT of all time and currently has a nice discount. Not going to happen.

 

[sachos]

Awesome! More games need to bring back demos, i wonder what the stats show, how many convert into full purchase.

 

[Calverz]

Cool. But PC when?

 

[Unknown?]

Cool. But PC when?

Why waste time on that, Polyphony are busy working!

 

[Calverz]

Why waste time on that, Polyphony are busy working!

On the PC version yes?

 

[Unknown?]

On the PC version yes?

Nope, on content and features. Maybe if Nixxes did it, but bothering Polyphony to port and maintain a third version would be dumb.

Yea my guess for why some of these games aren't coming to PC is that the studios just aren't setup for that. I bet GT team doesn't want anyone else touching their game either. They seem very passionate and protective of GT.

 

[mckmas8808]

To be fair.....aren't you the cheap bastard since you could just buy the game since it's on sale now.

GOOD!

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

They will probably port once GT 7 stops recieving updates. As it stands, Sony and PD probably don't want to spend time having to optimise each update for numerous platforms, PD just isn't big enough for that. I think GT7 will probably recieve it's last update next year, so you should expect a pc port next year or the next. With gt8 releasing 2027.

 

[gpn]

Cool. I picked up GT7 on sale for BF to go along with the PSVR2 i also picked on BF sale since i really liked Drive Club VR. I prefer arcade racers to sims, so if this gives me that, i can return GT7.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I'll wait until it comes to PC.

So random...

 

[Investor9872]

December 6th is the same day that the free-to-play Marvel's Rivals will be out as well. Sony should have released its title earlier!

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Now this is the way for Sony to make some nice freemium game, maybe gaas someday. Nor like concord or other shitty games as foamstars, etc.

 

[Melfice7]

They couldn't have picked 3 uglier tracks (graphically) the haters are gonna love this

 

[Synastry]

Thank god they didn't pick le man with how ugly and out of date that track is in GT7 has you seen some of the PS2 era building on that track.

 

[SkyHighTrees]

[Sintoid]

Does it run on this?

Only Lego Horizon releasing on Switch

 

[Skifi28]

I'm just here for the port begging.

 

[GreatnessRD]

Bring GT to PC, Kaz!

We're waiting so patiently. And the Master Race shall rejoice once we get it!

#GT8

 

[Ebrietas]

Cool. But PC when?

When it stops selling truckloads and moving consoles? Why give the game to you peasants?

 

[Sintoid]

But master race already have the best driving experiences, why do you want such a lame product?

 

[SweetTooth]

I'm just here for the port begging.

Soon they will be port begging FromSoftware games .. LMAO

 

[Calverz]

When it stops selling truckloads and moving consoles? Why give the game to you peasants?

I already own the game. But would rather play it on PC with all the bells and whistles.

 

[Perrott]

Babt's first Gran Turismo.
I wonder if this will be the final first-party game on PS4?

Is MLB The Show 25 not coming out on PS4?
