Polyphony Digital is "Considering" Releasing Gran Turismo on PC - GTPlanet

GTPlanet is present successful Monaco for the Gran Turismo World Finals and Gran Turismo’s 25th Anniversary event, and we had the accidental to beryllium down with GT bid creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

A batch has changed since we past spoke to Yamauchi-san, and 1 of the much absorbing developments successful the manufacture is the merchandise of titles from major first-party PlayStation Studios connected the PC.

Such an enlargement would beryllium 1 of the astir important developments successful the series’ history, and would present galore caller players to a crippled which — for the past 25 years — has ever required PlayStation hardware to play.

Needless to say, Yamauchi’s comments volition promote america to support a adjacent oculus connected PlayStation Studios’ enlargement onto the PC level moving forward. Until then, look for much from our interrogation with Yamauchi-san present successful Monaco precise soon.
