After launching in 2017 for PS4, Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo Sport will see support for its online services ending on January 31st, 2024, at 6 AM UTC (11 PM PST on January 30th). Paid DLC will be removed from the PlayStation Store on December 1st.
The end of online services means players can no longer access the Community or Open Lobby features or custom liveries. Sport Mode will also be inaccessible, though the offline parts of any paid DLC remain available. The Mileage Store is also going away, and any Trophies which require an online connection won’t be accessible.
It’s unknown if this means you won’t have to worry about them to earn the Platinum Trophy. All other progress will remain, from existing cars and personalized settings to all world circuits. Stay tuned for more details en route, and check out our review of Gran Turismo Sport if you’re curious about picking it up.
