Gran Turismo Sport announced it would support the PSVR ever since the game was announced at last year’s Paris Games Week. Before you get excited about popping on your PSVR headset and hitting the track, it turns out the game will not be fully playable in VR.

As mentioned by Videogamer on Twitter, Gran Turismo Sport will only offer a “VR Tour” game mode. This news has been attributed to the series’ creator, Kazunori Yamauchi. This means that basic racing will still require you to play using a TV.

As for when Gran Turismo Sport will actually come out, no new release date has been confirmed yet. The game was delayed until after 2016, so we should be expecting a release somewhere in early 2017. Perhaps the delay was related to the PSVR support, which is why Polyphony Digital never mentioned the VR-specific game mode before.

That being said, it still could be possible for a patch to be released that would enable PSVR support across all game modes. There has been no announcement of a potential patch, but maybe we’ll be surprised with a post-launch VR fix.

Should really be pushing their first party developers to support this properly, coming across as Kinect 2.0,
