game \u2013 even wildly successful live service ones \u2013 is that they\u2019ll start strongly and slowly tail off.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not writing anything revolutionary here: this is a trend practically everyone is familiar with, and we see it all the time with the data made publicly available by Steam.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there\u2019s nothing really wrong with it: games release, they enjoy a few weekends of peak popularity, and then they slowly fade away. The really good titles take longer to drop off, of course, but they do still steadily decline.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the case of Gran Turismo 7, the latest entry in Polyphony Digital\u2019s smash hit sim racer series, it\u2019s defying these traditional industry expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the Gran Turismo World Series 2025 World Finals in Fukuoka earlier today, series boss Kazunori Yamauchi revealed the game is drawing an incredible two million monthly active users right now \u2013 and new players are joining all the time.<\/p>\n<p>He said, as reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gtplanet.net\/gt7-2-million-monthly-users-20251221\/\">GT Planet<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGran Turismo 7 has been released for several years, but still, the active users are currently over 2 million people, and the new users are increasing. The status that Gran Turismo 7 is in now is probably the best of any Gran Turismo titles that we\u2019ve had in the past. We\u2019ve never experienced this phenomenon before, and neither has PlayStation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yamauchi pointed out that, while the game has certainly been discounted over the years, it\u2019s never seen its price significantly plunge. Furthermore, it hasn\u2019t been added to a subscription like <strong>PS Plus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, according to him, the game\u2019s longevity can be attributed to Polyphony Digital\u2019s continued post-release support \u2013 a commitment it started with GT Sport during the PS4 generation.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, to mark 100 million series sales recently, GT 7 just received its Spec 3 update, which includes a ton of new content for free. For those looking for more, there\u2019s also a Power Pack expansion which expands massively on the number of in-game activities you can do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_Z69481D512C2C1\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Gran Turismo has its own community, of course, which means it doesn\u2019t get talked about as much as other tentpole Sony series. But it continues to prove that it\u2019s one of PlayStation best and most important properties.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re confident GT 7 will continue to enjoy significant success right through the remainder of the PS5 generation.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:194742,194069 @ 1766332675 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header

However the ps5 threw 3 incredibly great driving games at me and those are in order of my preference..<br \/>1)Dirt rally 2.0<br \/>2)EA wrc<br \/>3)GT7<br \/>These 3 games transformed how I play and how I approach the racing genre. They are also responsible for making me fork out for a decent sim racing wheel and frame to house it. GT7 is a stunning game that is accessible to everybody and can be tweaked to accommodate all levels of driving abilities. I initially wasn&#8217;t an adopter of GT7 because of all the negative things I&#8217;d read about the graphics being rubbish etc,etc,etc but when @Kidfunkadelic83 put his sale pitch to me (much the same way I allegedly bullied him into buying the T598) I took the plunge and bought it and I love it and one thing became very clear to me and that was all those people talking smack about the graphics have obviously never played it properly or have extremely bad eyesight. I&#8217;m a rally enthusiast foremost but that does not mean I like GT7 any less and I&#8217;m waiting for GT8 patiently seeing as PMR has turned out to be such a mess. Asseto corsa rally next year.

Believe me, i&#8217;ve tried to enjoy it but it turned out to be just not my thing. Too much micro management, tinkering, statistics and whatnot. Slow and boring to me, i figured i just wasn&#8217;t part of the target<br \/>\naudience back then. Oh how things have changed! As a huge fan of VR, two years ago i decided to give GT7 a chance when i heard it was a bit more accessible this time around and there wasn&#8217;t much to do(yet) on PSVR 2 in the racing genre anyway.. The rest is history, 200+ hrs. of gameplay later and a racing wheel+rig in my possession, i freaking love GT7! It&#8217;s just so good with a wheel and a PSVR 2 headset, it exceeded far, far beyond the expectations i had at the time\ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8956721\" data-author=\"users\/65664\" data-subject=\"comments\/8956721\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8956721\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/65664\/avatar.jpg?v=1386129594\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"rockodoodle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/12\/sonys-never-experienced-this-phenomenon-before-ps5-smash-hit-gran-turismo-7-getting-stronger-over-time#comment8956721\">43<\/a><\/li>\n<li>rockodoodle<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-12-21T15:46:06+00:00\">30 mins ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>Surprised you guys have not done a review for the new DLC\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"empty\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ui-load-comments ui-cta-button\" onclick=\"this.innerHTML = 'Please Wait...';
