PlayStation 5 quietly confirms our first 8K 60fps game

Ooh so shiny

Sony just announced that one specific game will be getting an 8K, 60fps upgrade on the PlayStation 5 Pro… and basically nobody noticed.

As seemingly first pointed out by TweakTown’s Anthony Garreffa, Sony revealed that Gran Turismo 7 will be getting some PS5 Pro specific upgrades in a recent post on the PlayStation Blog.

Shuichi Takano, Main Programmer at developer Polyphony Digital, specified that "PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution" will allow Gran Turismo 7 to achieve "even more detail and higher image quality than ever before" and also noted that they are “now able to support ray tracing during races, which was previously impossible”.

“Furthermore,” he continued, “Gran Turismo 7 will feature experimental support for 8K/60fps output*. Players will be able to see the precisely modeled cars and tracks in unprecedented detail and clarity, with a breathtaking sense of presence.”

“Thanks to these cutting edge developments, Gran Turismo 7 will be able to provide more exciting and visually stunning race experiences than was previously possible.”

That little asterisk clarified that, for the time being, this feature is “only available on select PS5 games that have been enhanced for PS5 Pro when compared with PS5. PS5 Pro enhanced features will vary by game.”

This is kind of par for the course as far as Gran Turismo goes, as the series has always been pretty ahead of the curve when it comes to graphical enhancements on home consoles.

Gran Turismo 4 was one of the first games to ever receive 1080i support, all the way back in 2004 on the PlayStation 2.

The blog post also stated that several other titles will be getting PS5 Pro specific upgrades, such as Demon's Souls, Stellar Blade, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but as of now Gran Turismo 7 is the only one confirmed to be getting some form of 8K upgrade.
