While fans may have gotten used to little deals and demos dropping as part of their PlayStation Plus subscription, Sony are priming a big one for the weekend.
As you might already know, a new PS4 demo for Gran Turismo Sport is being released very soon.
This won’t be a beta test but an actual content drop that should run pretty well without the risk of too much stress-testing going on.
The GT Sport demo will be made available to everyone, however, PS Plus October subscribers get the first chance to download and play.
This is pretty important when you take into account that the demo itself will only be available to play for four days.
PS Plus members will be able to pre-load the demo starting from October 7th at 8:00am PT, with access to the game on October 9th, at 12:00am PT.
For everyone else, they can download and access to the demo starting October 9th at 6:00pm PT.
It may not sound like a lot more time but it all adds up when you see that the demo officially ends October 12th at 8:00am PT.
Sony have confirmed that earned in-game credit (up to $1MM) and unlocked vehicles will be transferable to the full game when it launches October 17th.
More on what’s included: “The GT Sport demo will give fans an in-depth look at some of the new features, geared to define the future of motorsports for all levels of drivers, from first timers to 20 year veterans of the franchise.
“You drive and tune on your own terms, while the new matchmaking system ensures you’re always racing against others of similar abilities.
“At the start of the demo, drivers will have the option to experience a taste of Sport, Campaign, or Arcade mode.
“New features such as the innovative Scapes Photography mode and Custom Livery Editor are also available for the very first time.”
GT SPORT DEMO MODES:
Sport mode: Drivers can prove just how fast they are by putting down their fastest lap time. At the end of each qualifying session, it’s an all-out battle against other drivers with similar performance abilities ensuring each race is equal, fair, and highly competitive.
Campaign mode: Campaign gives players the chance to improve their driving skills across numerous challenges, missions, and circuit experiences. Each of these modes play a key role in making every driver better prepared for racing online against others. As you complete various trial and Daily Workouts, you will be awarded with numerous vehicle unlocks, in-game currency, and Experience Points, furthering your Driver Profile and personal garage.
Arcade mode: Arcade offers a wide range of vehicle classes on three pre-selected circuit configurations with different terrains. Whether you want to go for high-speed oval racing on Northern Isle, hone your technical skills on Dragon Trail, or drift sideways through the corners in rally, race on your own terms as you choose from multiple driving aids including braking and or steering to hone your skills. You can also race against a friend offline in the classic 2-player split screen mode.
