Gran Turismo Sport’s Online Servers Set to Dark Side
Gear up for the End of the Road 'Gran Turismo Sport's Online Servers to Bid Adieu in Early 2024
Gran Turismo Sport’ online servers to shut down early 2024.
Greetings, fellow gamers! Buckle up and hold on tight, because the Gran Turismo Sport online servers are preparing to hit the brakes and take a detour to the dark side on January 31st, 2024. It’s a sad day for virtual racetrack enthusiasts, but fear not, for there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
In an official statement on the Gran Turismo website, the team behind the game confirmed the impending “end of online service” starting December 1st. This means that the downloadable content (DLC) will be removed from the PlayStation Store, but fret not, all the previously purchased DLC and the “offline portions” of the game will still be accessible after the servers shut down. Phew!
But here’s the twist, folks! The team isn’t just leaving us in the dust; they’re shifting gears towards the future. Once Gran Turismo Sport’s online services come to a screeching halt, the team will dive headfirst into “further improving the online services” for the much-anticipated Gran Turismo 7. It’s like trading in your trusty four-wheeler for a shiny new sports car!
Now, let’s take a pit stop to understand what exactly we’ll be missing out on once the servers go silent. The team explained that all the online services such as the Community, Open Lobby, and the Sport mode, along with their features and items like custom liveries, will no longer be available. It’s like losing your pit crew and navigating the virtual roads all on your own. But fear not, my friends, for the offline portions of the game aren’t going anywhere. So, if you’ve already splurged on some DLC, you can still enjoy it to the fullest.
Before we wave the checkered flag on this topic, let’s talk about what stays in our garage. Even after the shutdown, the world circuits, existing cars, and personalized car settings will remain accessible. However, buckle up for a bump in the road: accessing custom liveries, helmets, and racing suits will become as impossible as winning a race blindfolded. And for all you trophy hunters out there, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unlocking certain trophies will also become an elusive dream.

- EA FC 24: The Ultimate Cross-Platform Showdown
- Pokémon Center x Van Gogh: Museum Mayhem
So, my fellow speed demons, mark January 31st, 2024, on your calendars as the day our online racing escapades in Gran Turismo Sport come to a screeching halt. It might be a disappointment, but fear not, for the team’s gaze is now set on the horizon, where Gran Turismo 7 awaits, ready to rev our virtual engines and take us on exhilarating new adventures.
Remember, gaming is about the journey, the friendships made, and the memories created. So, let’s cherish the time we’ve had with Gran Turismo Sport’s online services and look forward to the exciting roads that lie ahead. Keep those controllers charged, my friends, because the race never truly ends.
Now, off you go, hit the virtual asphalt, and keep on gaming!
