Gran Turismo 7 Behind the Scenes Video - Tracks, Lighting Conditions & Dynamic Weather

PlayStation has posted another behind the scenes video today with Kazunori Yamauchi providing details on tracks, lighting conditions and dynamic weather in Gran Turismo 7.

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. If you missed any of them, head over to our Gran Turismo 7 page and get caught up.
