One of PlayStation's most successful IPs, Gran Turismo 7 has established itself as one of the most popular racing games out there. The latest installment adds a variety of new stuff and fans are eager to get their hands on the game.

Here is Whether Gran Turismo 7 An Open World Game

Open world car games are gaining a lot of popularity lately, and we have witnessed the free roam formula being used in a number of titles. However, when it comes to Gran Turismo 7, that is not the case.

Gran Turismo 7 is not an open-world game, so players will not be getting any of the free-roaming features they are expecting. While that is a bummer, it shouldn't come off as a surprise to fans of the franchise. The reason is quite simple, the Gran Turismo franchise was never focused around that.

Gran Turismo 7 is essentially a racing simulator, so a free roam doesn't really make sense in a game of that type. Instead what players get is a variety of game modes to give them a fulfilling experience of a racing simulator. The sheer variety of game modes present in the game is quite impressive, and we have stuff from training modes to challenges a lot more.

For instance, the License Test helps players get a good hang of the game. It consists of mini-games which players a good practice of how they can control their cars. Likewise, Mission Races is for players who are looking for a challenge and want to try out their driving skills. Along with that, we have the regular online modes as well, which players can play in to compete with other players across the world.
