Game Launch and Availability

Sony has made an exciting announcement on the PlayStation Blog. My First Gran Turismo is set to be released later this week, specifically on December 6, 2024, at midnight local time. This game will be accessible to players on both PS4 and PS5 without any cost. Its purpose is to gently introduce players to the Gran Turismo series by providing them with a few different stages to practice on before they venture into the full Gran Turismo experience.

Players will be able to explore three Race Events, three Time Trials, and three Music Rally stages completely free of charge. This allows them to get a feel for the game and its mechanics without any financial commitment.

The game is based on Gran Turismo 7, the latest and greatest in the series. It includes three Race Events, three Time Trials, and three Music Rally stages, along with a full suite of License Tests. There are 18 unique cars to drive, ranging from various vehicle types, giving players a taste of everything the series has to offer.

PS5 Version and PSVR2 Support

The PS5 version of My First Gran Turismo offers full PSVR2 support. This means that those who own the expensive accessory can truly immerse themselves in the game and get the most out of it. They can either enjoy the game in VR or simply try it out before deciding to commit to the full experience.

Once players have completed all the content available in My First Gran Turismo, they have the option to pick up the full game. Currently, the full game is on sale in the 30th Anniversary PlayStation Store sale, making it an even more attractive option for racing game fans.

The combination of free access to various stages and the opportunity to try out the PSVR2 support makes My First Gran Turismo a must-try for both new and experienced racing game players.
