When the new PS5 Pro was announced, several development studios spoke on the official PlayStation blog about the possibilities that the machine would offer them. In a short interview, Shuichi Takano (lead programmer at the development studio Polyphony Digital) even revealed an update to Gran Turismo 7, for "experimental" compatibility with the Ultra HD 8K definition at 60 frames per second. Wow!

"While Gran Turismo 7 already benefited from a native 4K display, the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology of the PS5 Pro also applies to 4K sources and allows even more details, as well as an image quality never seen before, explains Takano. Additionally, we can now support Ray Tracing during races, something that was previously impossible. This not only allows other vehicles to be fully reflected on the surface of the car, but also allows parts of the car itself to be reflected, greatly improving realism and immersion throughout the game. And he added: Gran Turismo 7 will also include an experimental feature that allows for 8K display at 60 fps. You will be able to enjoy the carefully modeled cars and tracks as if you were there thanks to a level of detail and sharpness never before achieved. With these cutting-edge advances, Gran Turismo 7 will be able to offer even more thrilling and strikingly realistic races than ever before.
Please note that while the French-language blog only cites the Ultra HD 8K setting and not 60 fps, this technical data is nevertheless present in the original English version.
