To celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, Sony is releasing a brand-new game for players this week that pays tribute to a much-loved franchise.

The Sony consoles have come a long way and to celebrate its achievement, the company is giving away a game for absolutely free from the 6 December onwards.
My First Gran Turismo, as you can probably already guess, is a spin-off of the much loved racing game series but this one pays tribute to the very first entry which was released back in 1997.
It will be available via the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 users for free, without even the need of a PlayStation Plus subscription.
However, if you are unfamiliar with the racing game genre or Gran Turismo itself, this one is designed for beginners and is approachable for all skill levels.
Not only that but it will also be available for the PS VR2 if you are a fan of motion sickness.
Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi took to the PlayStation blog to share further information about My First Gran Turismo.
"This isn't just about playing a game; it's about embarking on a personal driving journey," he wrote.
"We've made sure the experience is intuitive, allowing anyone to get behind the wheel and master the essentials, such as cornering, braking, and acceleration. By playing it, users will build confidence one lap at a time, tackling new challenges that'll steadily refine their driving skills."
My First Gran Turismo features various modes such as Race Events, Time Trials, and Music Rally - and there are 18 different cars to get exploring.
Featuring iconic tracks and locations such as Kyoto Driving Park and Trial Mountain Circuit, My First Gran Turismo is perfect for fans of the franchise or for those just starting out.
