It’s been a rocky road for Gran Turismo Sport.
The racing sim has suffered multiple delays since its initial announcement back in 2015, but it looks like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Polyphony’s Kazunori Yamauchi took over the PlayStation Blog today to confirm that it’ll officially launch for the PS4 this Fall on October 17:
Hello GT Fans! I’m extremely excited to confirm that Gran Turismo Sport will be launching on October 17 in North America. Following the successful completion of our Closed Beta phase, as announced earlier this week, we are now entering the final stages of polishing as we prepare for launch.
In the meantime, I’d like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself and PDI to express my gratitude for the continued support of GT fans and PlayStation supporters around the world during this beta period. We’re as keen as all of you to get the game into players’ hands, and can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the game when it launches in October.
