Will Gran Turismo 7 come to PC? Developer comments
Despite a leak suggesting otherwise, it sounds like Gran Turismo 7 will not be coming to PC.
An infamous Nvidia GeForce Now leak suggested that Returnal, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, God of War and Gran Turismo 7 would all be receiving PC releases - and was given more credence when the other three games were indeed confirmed for PC ports.

It's always possible that another studio is working on the PC port, but a developer making the rare move of explicitly denying such a rumour suggests that Gran Turismo 7 really is not in the works for PC right now. Here's hoping Yamauchi looks into it one day!
