Gran Turismo 6

Gran Turismo 6 is an upcoming entry in the Gran Turismo series, set to be released in December 2013. In an announcement on May 15th 2013, Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed that the game will be released on PlayStation 3.

A number of online retailers have begun to take preorders for GT6, suggesting a release date of November 28th 2013. However, in Gamescom 2013, Polyphony Digital announced that the game would be released on December 6th, 2013.

Also announced is an expanded Track Designer, and significant customisation features, such as aerodynamic parts and custom wheels for most cars, and the ability to build a fully customised car. A new, more user-friendly user interface had been designed for Gran Turismo 6.

Community
New Community elements will be unveiled within Gran Turismo 6, including social media cross-interfacing. Cross-device compatibility is expected to be included, which will allow users to connect smartphones, tablets and PCs to their PlayStation at various points in the game. Community Clubs will be made available which will allow users to set up private clubs for online racing, as well as to create leagues and community forums to merge the game-world into the real-world.

GT Academy
The GT Academy program, which attempts to invite Gran Turismo players into real-life motorsport, will use the GT6 demo as a platform. It is expected that future GT Academy events will take place in the new game.
