In a PlayStation Blog post, Gran Turismo 7s campaign mode is confirmed to require an always-online connection.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Following the new Gran Turismo 7 trailer at last weeks PlayStation Showcase event , a PlayStation Blog post has confirmed that the Gran Turismo 7
campaign mode will require an always-online connection, to some fans dismay. This requirement also applies to other GT7 features, including the Livery editor, Scapes, Trial Mountain and High-Speed Ring racing circuits, the GT Cafe and GT Auto.

Sony didnt go into further detail explaining why it made this decision, theres only an asterisk saying these features require internet connection. Best PS5 games : Our best picks PS5 vs PS5 Digital Edition : what's the difference? Where to buy PS5 : who has stock? Analysis: A deserved backlash

Like numerous other games whose campaigns have required an always-online connection, the new requirement for GT7 hasnt gone down particularly well
with fans. Many have been voicing their disappointment with this news, noting this has now dampened their hype for GT7. I was interested in Gran Turismo 7, but now any interest I had is gone with the news the single player requires
an internet connection. So now Im all in on Uncharted PC September 11, 2021 See more

In our view, the fans disappointment is justified, as Sony should be making sure GT7 is accessible for as many players as possible. An always-online connection severely limits this, as not every gamer has access to a reliable internet connection.

Sony recently has been having trouble making their games accessible. Just
last week, Sony was forced to backtrack on its decision not to include a free upgrade from PS4 to PS5 in the standard editions of Horizon Forbidden West
due to immense backlash from fans.

With Sony, again, limiting player accessibility with GT7, we could see
similar backlash from players - but will it be enough to make Sony change its mind twice in as many weeks? PS5 vs Xbox Series X : the two consoles compared
