Roughly three weeks ago, we (and every other major gaming outlet) reported Kazunori Yamauchi’s statement that Gran Turismo 7 PC was being actively considered by Polyphony Digital. At the Gran Turismo World Finals in Monaco, he reportedly said to GTPlanet:<\/p>\n

Yes, I do think so. Gran Turismo is a very finely tuned title. There are not many platforms that could run the game in 4K\/60p natively, so one way we make that possible is to narrow down the platform. It’s not a very easy subject, but of course, we are looking into it and considering it.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, in a new interview published today in the Japanese magazine Dengeki Online, Yamauchi-san largely denied that statement. The possibilities are open, he said (via GTPlanet forum), but there’s nothing concrete being done at the moment.<\/p>\n

That is not correct. I said that “as a developer, we stay open to all possible options”. So, the probability for a Gran Turismo 7 PC version may not actually be zero, but if you want to know what we’re actually doing regarding a PC version, the answer is nothing. There’s nothing to talk about.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen at some point. We’d be surprised if it doesn’t, given that Sony is expanding its presence on the platform. Additionally, Gran Turismo 7 PC was listed on the GeForce NOW leak that correctly predicted so many game announcements.<\/p>\n

On an entirely separate note, Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that each Gran Turismo 7 car is composed of roughly one million polygons. Modeling a single car would take one person 270 days. Luckily, the staff has grown to be 250 employees strong.<\/p>\n
