PlayStation and Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital announced a new GT game out of nowhere for the holiday season. Find out everything we know about My First Gran Turismo—including its release date—and why it’s one of the most unique entries in the franchise.
A fun surprise never goes amiss, and I’d say My First Gran Turismo falls under this category. PlayStation fans have been reveling in the splendor of Gran Turismo 7 since 2022 and its continuous content updates. The most recent installment offers the most realistic graphics today, an exhaustive selection of vehicles from world-class bangers to piddly starter cars, and enough racing content to keep you busy throughout an entire Le Mans 24-Hour race.
Now, we have My First Gran Turismo, and it is an odd title. I’ll let you in on a secret, there’s a reason Polyphony Digital went with this wording; so let’s lift the suspension and burn some rubber.
My First Gran Turismo Release Date
My First Gran Turismo has a Dec. 6 release date, with the content expected to drop at 12:00 AM local time—subject to change.
The release date and time were confirmed by a Sony PlayStation blog. So, unless something happens between now and the launch window, prepare yourself for high-octane action on Dec. 6.
