Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi talked in detail about Gran Turismo Sport’s success at the GT Sport World Tour in Sydney, Australia. Yamauchi laid down some stats that show just how successful the spinoff by Polyphony Digital has been.
GT Sport has, according to the latest statistics, crossed 8.2 million users. The game still continues to chart in sales rankings (as recently as last month) even though the game was released almost 2.5 years ago in October of 2017. Gran Turismo Sport also seems to enjoy a very slow decline, considering the latest numbers are 1.2 million up from the same time last year. So selling over a million units so deep into the game’s lifecycle means that developers Polyphony Digital are certainly doing well with the post release content and user retention.
Gran Turismo Sport is the 6th best selling Gran Turismo title (numbers accurate to 2017 for the older games) and the only title in the series to release on the PS4.
