Gran Turismo Sport is a racing video game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4. It was announced at the 2015 Paris Games Week and is the thirteenth game overall in the Gran Turismo video game series and the first game in the series to be released for PlayStation 4. It was released worldwide in October 2017, receiving generally favorable reviews from critics. Similar to its predecessors, Gran Turismo Sport is a racing game and includes two game modes: "Sports Mode" and "Arcade Mode". Online racing is also featured in the game. The game has been described as different from the "Prologue" titles seen in the past in the series and features more content. Unlike Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6, the game does not feature dynamic weather system and day-night cycle. However, players still have the option to modify the race's time of day before entering the race. It includes 177 cars and 27 configurations of 19 locations to race on. For the first time in the series, the game features Porsche vehicles included in the game after Electronic Arts' licensing rights to the Porsche brand had expired (previous Gran Turismo games only included RUF as a substitute).
