That’s because the Xbox Series X exclusive is going to face a strong fight from another racing title in the form of upcoming PlayStation 5-based Gran Turismo 7. Sony recently revealed some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of the new entry in the franchise. And by the looks of it, the features in the yet-to-launch game are pretty awesome.

In the recent clip, developer Polyphony Digital’s CEO Kazunori Yamauchi talked about the most exclusive features coming up in Gran Turismo 7. Most importantly, they will be limited to PlayStation 5.

Discussing the upcoming installment in Gran Turismo saga, Yamauchi said that the game has a high level of realism this time. Explaining it, he mentioned that the title will support amazing DualSense controls with adaptive triggers. Simply put, players will feel the actual functioning of car brakes when they would while driving the vehicles.

“For example, when brakes are effective to a certain point and they lock up, the resistance on the trigger is cancelled.”

Furthermore, Yamauchi said that Gran Turismo 7 will also support high resolution gameplay, including 4K 60 fps with HDR enabled. So that way, the title will appear even more realistic than its predecessors. Sharing his own experience of playing the game, he mentioned that he felt more than actual realism while driving the cars. In his words, the experience just “exceeded a certain level”. According to him, his team worked a lot on keeping the natural aspect of racing and driving from the very beginning.

Gran Turismo 7’s original launch window was supposed to be in 2021, but then the title faced a delay, the reason being the ongoing pandemic and its impact. But now it will eventually release next year on March 4 2022, as a PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 exclusive.
