Gran Turismo 7 will feature ray tracing on PS5
The next entry in the racing simulator looks to push the PlayStation 5 hardware to new heights.
The Gran Turismo series has always been known for its visuals and now Gran Turismo 7 is looking to push it even further with ray tracing. Players on PlayStation 5 will be treated to a visual fidelity not seen in other racers thanks to the ray tracing technology. With the new weather effects, this is sure to create some striking visuals on the many reflective surface of the vehicles.
The inclusion of ray tracing in Gran Turismo 7 was one of the major features touted for the game during the February 2 PlayStation State of Play. The stream highlighted the technology at work, bringing to light how the visual fidelity of the game will be taken to new heights. It seems as if the naturally reflective surfaces of vehicles are the perfect texture to harness the potential ray tracing presents.
There were also a whole lot of other features and new additions revealed during the livestream, which we detailed in a Gran Turismo 7 post that’ll get your engine going. A few standouts include the impressive weather systems and photo mode, which look to lean into the photorealism even further, which is no doubt further enhanced with ray tracing.
Gran Turismo 7 is scheduled to release on March 4, 2022. Be sure to keep it locked to Shacknews as we bring you the latest on this critically acclaimed franchise.

At 30fps is my guess
On PS5, players can choose from two graphics modes. A frame-rate option will give players a smooth 60 fps experience, while a ray-tracing mode allows for fancy lighting and reflections while sacrificing performance. The latter may be better suited for activities like replays and photo modes. -
