Gran Turismo 7 Behind the Scenes Video - Scapes

PlayStation has posted another behind the scenes video today with Kazunori Yamauchi providing details on Scapes in Gran Turismo 7. Scapes is a feature that lets you position a car in scenes from around the world and take photos.

Gran Turismo 7 launches on March 4, 2022 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. It’s refreshing to get so many details months before release. Let’s hope they continue pushing these videos out.

Quite a few sites posted their interviews with Kazunori Yamauchi in late September, here are some of those details.
