Gran Turismo Sport now $40 everywhere
- Thread starter Border
- Start date
It's been 19.99 euros over here since last week, would feel pretty bad if I bought it for 59.99 two weeks ago.
You'll enjoy the upcoming free December update for the game.

they were hoping the masses would buy it at full price on black friday to maximize revenue.
the masses likely didnt. they panicked and allowed retailers to cut it down to $40 on cyber monday to sell something rather than nothing.
whatever the reason, im glad they waited because with the GCU now applying to games again, i got it for $32 lol. Half the price for half the game.
No traditional career mode (coming December, announced post-launch) a way smaller car roster (because they made all models from scratch) and severely reduced offline play capabilities (think this is also being changed) will have scared many off this at full price.
Right? Are they doing anything for the people who bought it at full price?
I held off buying this with my friends online, i saw it was on 50% off already on PSN store and assumed alot of other people must have done the same.
Makes you wonder if they should have waited till early next year to release this when the market's quieter and the game would have had more content ready.
Great price for a great game but ...
This is so silly. Come on Sony.
Yikes. No offense to anyone but I'm glad I didn't have the funds to buy this day one.
This is normal. Cod comes out early every year, becomes the best selling game almost immediately and still goes on sale every black Friday.
Games like mordor, Forza, ac origins, wolfenstein all came out in October like gt sports and they all saw price cuts for black Friday.
If anything I'm surprised Sony didn't slash the prices earlier last week. It was outsold by forza 7 in October so yeah, it didn't sell well.
Then why does literally every other FIA-licensed game not have this requirement? Sounds like BS.
Bought it day -1. Have enjoyed it a ton but I'm still kinda salty. Hopefully lots of people buying it as time passes ensures tons of good free content updates even past what they have announced so far.
yeah they should be able to fix that
my internet sometimes acts funny and tend to be annoying
Since it's never been on sale on PSN here in NA, I'm tempted to wait a bit before buying... Maybe it will be on sale during December / Boxing day...
Wait there is an actual career mode coming? Normal career with grind and licenses like old GTs?
I don't know if it's true if FIA requires it but if it does it's because it will be an official series of FIA and they will recognize the FIA champion from GT Sport at their awards ceremony including F1 and other series.
It's been super cheap in the uk. I think GHG said they were giving it away with meal deals in Tescos. Get yourself a sandwich a drink and skip the skips, grab a copy of gts instead. I just can't wait to buckle up with you boys and test this game out.
The hdr in the demo was enough for the 17 pound investment

LOL That. Pretty much PD gave a half ass game and now they have to charge it for a half price if they want to sell.
Yes, let's not forget about this. That offline mode is a joke.
The game could use a lot more content but whats there is anything but half assed.
What's untrue? The championship part or that it could be the reason for the online save?
Game could've launched with more content but not angry I paid full price for Digital Deluxe version as I have enjoyed it a lot so far. With the updates coming this new price is a steal!!!
No, this is the real reason. GT Sport isn't just licensing the FIA name and trademarks, it's online races are ratified and sanctioned by the FIA as an official FIA racing series. They can't have the possibility of cheating or offline save manipulation affecting the races.
It's stupid. It's like three or four steps too far and no-one was asking for this.
Literally not true. That non-existent single player is all I've been doing, and they just announced old school career events to come in a free update.
Holy hyperbole. I dropped out for reasons surrounding its structure and limited content, but they've communicated that they're expanding even the single-player offerings, let alone the pool of cars and tracks. Discounts are good, and the game isn't being abandoned. Give it time if you're interested in theory, that's exactly how I'm looking at it.
Yeah, because it's not selling. No reason to jump at $40 when it will $20 and very quickly. Also, that's nice that they're finally attempting to fix their game but that doesn't excuse them from trying to sell people garbage to begin with. Again, I think there's much better racing games for the same price or cheaper rather than wasting money on this unless you're really about the always online stuff. They also don't seem to want to "fix" their always online garbage which is pretty bad.
