Overview
Description

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue serves as an advanced precursor and technical showcase for the full Gran Turismo 5 experience, replacing Gran Turismo HD Concept. Featuring a native 60 frames per second frame rate during races, LPCM 7.1ch high definition sound, and detailed vehicle physics, it bridges the gap between past entries and the next generation of racing simulations. Updated through the Spec III software revision, the title expanded its offerings to include up to 16-player online races, over 70 meticulously modeled production and tuned cars, and 6 diverse tracks with 12 unique layouts. It provides players with a comprehensive taste of competitive racing and high-fidelity automotive culture on the PlayStation 3 platform.

Gran Turismo 6 delivers an expansive collection of cars and tracks, bringing realistic driving physics to the PlayStation 3. With partnerships like Goodwood Festival of Speed and NASA, the game pushes the boundaries of automotive simulation.
