The first PlayStation State of Play for 2022 arrives this week, and it’s all aboutĀ Gran Turismo 7. Ā A new look at the upcoming racing sim arrives this Wednesday, to show what’s to come for auto-aficionados in March.

This week’sĀ PlayStation State of Play will air on Wednesday, Feb. 2 at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT. The event will air on the PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels.

If you’re going in expecting some big first-party news or surprise reveals, it might be wise to temper expectations. In today’s PlayStation Blog announcement, Sony confirms that it’s aĀ Gran Turismo 7 show. Sony will air just over 30 minutes of gameplay details and PlayStation 5 footage ofĀ Gran Turismo 7.

So don’t expect any big updates on other major PlayStation games, likeĀ God of War: RagnarokĀ orĀ the soon-to-launchĀ Horizon Forbidden West. This showcase is going to be for the car fiends out there who have been patiently waiting for the next iteration of Sony’s racing series.

And to be fair, it has been a while. The last numbered entry in theĀ Gran TurismoĀ series came out on the PlayStation 3. And while PlayStation 4 owners got their own entry inĀ Gran Turismo Sport, it sounds like it wasn’t everything fans might have wanted.

With the racing competition heating up over the years, there are some more eyes on Sony to see ifĀ Gran TurismoĀ will come screaming out of the gate with a strong entry. It still feels like the current console generation still hasn’t fully shifted over into the new hardware, but if anything could be a showcase for what a new console can do, it’s a racing sim. We’ll see ifĀ Gran Turismo 7Ā has it at the first PlayStation State of Play for 2022 this week.
