Polyphony Digital has announced the release of a free-to-play version of its renowned Gran Turismo video games. Titled My First Gran Turismo, the streamlined racing game will launch on December 6 at midnight local time. It will be available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, with PS5 users accessing full VR2 (virtual-reality) support. The announcement aligns with PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebrations, which began December 3.
Designed to be a little more approachable than the usual hard-core racing simulators from the franchise, My First Gran Turismo should appeal to players of all ages and skill levels. Polyphony Digital has developed the game with accessibility in mind, emphasizing its suitability for beginners while retaining the immersive elements that define Gran Turismo. According to the developer, the game encourages players to master essential racing techniques through various challenges.
The free-to-play version features nine activities, including three Race Events, Time Trials, and Music Rally stages. Players can also access a full License test suite to help refine their driving skills.
My First Gran Turismo includes 18 vehicles, among them the MK.7 Volkswagen Golf GTI; an FD Mazda RX-7; an AE86 Toyota Sprinter Trueno; and a legendary E30 BMW M3 Evolution. Players can race on three tracks: Kyoto Driving Park, Deep Forest Raceway, and Trial Mountain Circuit.
The release of My First Gran Turismo continues the franchise’s legacy, which first debuted in 1997 on the original PlayStation. Polyphony Digital has referred to the new iteration as “approachable and immersive,” meaning new and experienced players can enjoy the game.
