A Gran Turismo Sport-emblazoned PlayStation 4 has been announced for the UK, Europe and Australia. The hardware will be available when the game launches this October. No word yet on a North America release.

Gran Turismo Sport, the first PS4 installment of Sony’s vaunted racing series, has been delayed to 2017, further depleting the PS4's well of holiday 2016 exclusives. Series lead creator Kazunori Yamauchi announced the delay over at the PlayStation blog.

That *thud* you hear is the sound of Polyphony boss and Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi throwing the PS3 under the bus in this IGN interview.

Gran Turismo Sport won’t have dynamic weather and time changes. Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi told GTPlanet, “We opted to not have the transitions in the race this time in order to raise the framerate and the quality of the image during the race.”

Gran Turismo Sport, a spin-off of Sony’s long-running racing simulation franchise, will arrive on November 15, Sony announced today. A proper sequel, likely to be called Gran Turismo 7, is in development alongside Gran Turismo Sport.

In advance of online support shutting down for Gran Turismo 5 at the end of May, Sony is removing all DLC for the game from the PlayStation Store on April 30. Some, but not all, DLC will be re-downloadable through PSN after then if you already own it. See this link for more details.
