Gran Turismo 7 known issues detailed

Polyphony Digital's Real Driving Simulator, Gran Turismo 7, is filled to the absolute brim with content, from tracks spread across various regions and a mammoth car list to several modes and much more. There's also the promise of a lot of post-launch content to come but not everything is all sunshine and rims. There are some issues in Gran Turismo 7 that players are experiencing both on PS4 and PS5.

In this article, we list all the known issues in Gran Turismo 7 that the developer is aware of, and actively investigating or working to fix.

All known Gran Turismo 7 issues

Despite Gran Turismo 7 sitting on an 87 average on Metacritic, the game does have a few issues that players are running into.

Developer Polyphony Digital knows this and are aware of several issues in Gran Turismo 7 following the Day One update.

There are lobby issues, split-screen issues, multiplayer issues and even some race screen issues in Gran Turismo 7 right now. However, most of these aren't huge deals, and players can still enjoy the experience.

Check out the full list of known issues in Gran Turismo 7 below as per the official post from the developer.

GT7 Multiplayer issues:

• In the 'Lobby', there have been cases where ‘Preparing’ is displayed on screen but the Host cannot start the race. Having all room members leave and re-entering the room will allow the race to be started.
• In the 'Lobby', there have been cases where entering the track in Practice does not let you drive and skip directly to the Final Race. In this case, please try to leave and re-enter the room.
• In a '2P Split Screen' race, the Assist Settings for Player 2 are locked. We plan to fix this in a future update. (Player 1 will use the same Assist Settings as defined in [Settings] > [Assist Settings].)

GT7 Race Screen issues:

• The overtake buttons on the following cars are displayed as ‘Nitrous’:
• Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Honda
• Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Toyota

GT7 Brand Central issue:

In some cases an 'Invitation' icon is displayed in the ‘Showroom’ of a manufacturer, even when a player did not receive any Invitation. Leaving 'Brand Central' and returning to the World Map will solve the issue.

GT7 World Circuits issues: 

• In 'Time Trial' and 'Drift Trial' on Dirt tracks, it is possible to choose cars without dirt tyres installed from the [Settings] > [Change Car] of the Quick Menu.
• After entering a room in 'Meeting Places', if a player changes the Assist Settings from the Quick Menu and goes on track, the Assist Settings go back to the settings before the room entry. It is possible to avoid this issue by changing the settings from the Pause Menu after entering the track.

Spectate issue:

When spectating in the 'Lobby' or 'Meeting Place,' if a player switches the camera target to a car in the pits, then changes back to a car on track, the 3rd Person view becomes unavailable. Leaving the 'Spectate' mode once will solve the issue.

GT7 Car Settings issue:

In the 'Rotational G' display of the setting screen, speeds other than 120 km/h (75 mph) are displayed incorrectly. The proper speeds are as follows:

• 80 km/h -> 60 km/h (50 mph -> 40 mph)
• 160 km/h -> 240 km/h (99 mph -> 150 mph)

GT7 Display Settings issue:

The changes to the exposure value in the ‘Exposure and Saturation’ settings made when starting the game for the first time are not reflected in the preview screen.

Other GT7 issues:

• When broadcasting the game from a PlayStation®4 system, an application error occurs.

So there you have it, all the known issues in Gran Turismo 7 after its launch on 4th March 2022. While the developer did not provide workarounds or fixes for these issues, they did note these will be "solved" with a future update, and apologized for any inconvenience caused.

We will keep you updated once a release date or window becomes available for the next Gran Turismo 7 update.
