Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Grand Touring and CEO of Polyphony Digital, dropped last November the possibility that the legendary PlayStation racing saga would come to PC. The vagueness of his statements already suggested that this was a remote possibility or an attempt to look good in front of the community of PC gamers, more seeing that as an excuse he gave one that was not sustained in terms of hardware power and the architectures used. , since both the latest generations of PlayStation and PC use 64-bit x86.
The possibility of Gran Turismo 7 coming to PC has recently been ruled out by Yamauchi himself in an interview he gave to the Japanese medium Dengeki Online. The creator has denied or at least qualified having said that he had left the door open for at least one installment of the racing saga to become compatible.
Regarding the arrival of Gran Turismo on PC, Yamauchi has told Dengeki Online that “that is not right. I said that ‘as a developer, we are open to all possible options’. Then, the probability of a PC version of Gran Turismo 7 may not be zero, but if you want to know what we’re really doing with regards to a PC version, the answer is nothing. there is nothing to talk about”.
The possible version of Gran Turismo 7 for PC is a more controversial topic than it might seem if we take into account that it was listed in a leak from GeForce Now, so Sony may have really considered its development seriously. . However, out there Rumors are circulating about possible problems with the licenses that would be preventing the arrival of the game to compatible devices and that would mean an additional outlay of money by the Japanese video game giant.
In short, Gran Turismo 7 for PC does not exist (not even in the development phase) and it does not look like it will exist in the near future. The idea was not implausible either, seeing that Sony has been encouraged to port many of its large licenses to PC, but apart from these possible obstacles due to licenses, it must be borne in mind that the golden days of Gran Turismo have passed a long time ago and that in Today it is not as valuable an IP as it was at the beginning of the century.
