At this point, it genuinely feels like Polyphony Digital has stopped listening to the GT7 community entirely. Week after week, update after update, the message from players is loud and clear — and yet it’s ignored like we’re shouting into a void.
The Daily Races this week were already a disaster. Broken physics, inconsistent grip, cars behaving nothing like they do in practice, dirty driving everywhere, bump‑to‑pass, push‑to‑pass, and a penalty system that might as well not exist. People are quitting mid‑race because they know the car won’t handle the same way it did five minutes earlier. That alone should’ve been a wake‑up call.
But then the new update drops… and what do we get?
A silhouette teaser hyped up by Kaz, only for the community to discover one of the “big additions” is an SUV. An SUV. In a game where the core player base has been begging — begging — for proper racing content, meaningful physics fixes, and actual motorsport‑focused cars and tracks.
It’s tone‑deaf. Completely disconnected from what the players want. And the community reaction proves it.
People are furious. Not annoyed — furious.
I’ve seen it in my own livestreams. I’ve seen it in other creators’ chats. I’ve seen it across X, Reddit, GTPlanet, Discord, everywhere. I’ve lost count of how many people have said they’re done with this game. That it’s a joke. That Polyphony refuses to listen. That they’re tired of being ignored.
And the numbers back it up.
Look at the play trackers. Look at PSN activity. Look at Google Trends. The player base is shrinking — not slowly, but rapidly. People are leaving in droves. You can spin it however you want, but the data doesn’t lie. The rats are leaving the sinking ship, and Polyphony Digital is acting like everything is fine.
Sport Mode is the heart of GT7.
It’s what keeps people playing long‑term.
It’s what drives competition, community, and engagement.
And yet it’s treated like an afterthought.
Where are the fixes to dirty driving?
Where is the penalty system overhaul?
Where is a reporting system with actual teeth?
Where are the physics improvements the community has been asking for for years?
Where are the cars and tracks people actually want to race in Sport Mode?
Instead, we get more DLC, more microtransactions, and content nobody asked for.
Right now, talking to Polyphony Digital feels like talking to someone in a coma. You can speak all you want, but nothing is getting through. No response. No acknowledgment. No change. Just silence — and a new batch of cars nobody requested.
And here’s the scary part:
If this continues, the next Gran Turismo game might be DOA. Not because the franchise is bad, but because the trust is gone. The goodwill is gone. The patience is gone.
We’re the customers.
We’re the players.
We’re the reason this franchise exists.
And we’re not obligated to accept whatever scraps get thrown our way.
It’s time for Polyphony Digital to wake up.
Listen to the community.
Fix the core issues.
Respect the players who’ve supported this series for decades.
Because right now?
It feels like we’re being trolled — and nobody’s laughing.
