2017's GT Sport supports Sony's original PSVR whereas its successor from last year, Gran Turismo 7,  recently received an update to support PSVR2. A new GT Sport vs Gran Turismo 7 has now been released, highlighting the visual quality between both titles using PSVR and PSVR2.

　　The comparison video from YouTuber 'ElAnalistaDebits' is an interesting one as it now only compares 2017's GT Sport to 2022's GT7, but also directly compares PSVR to PSVR2. Granted, it's not a totally fair comparison as Gran Turismo 7 clearly looks better than GT Sport without VR. Still, this video gives an impression of the significant leap that has been made between Sony's original PSVR and its successor when it comes to graphical quality. Check out the comparison down below and judge for yourself:

　　Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7 are available globally now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The recently-released PSVR2 headset only works with PlayStation 5.

　　With the improved resolution of the PlayStation VR2’s display, the obvious limitations of the first generation of PlayStation VR are a thing of the past. No longer are competing vehicles or background environments a jagged mess of aliased pixels. Instead, the view is filled with about as close of fidelity as one would get from the main game. Distant objects throughout the environment, such as trees or road signs, do take a hit but are usually not the focus of one’s eyes for very long. The eye-tracking tech of the PlayStation VR2 headset is also used to great effect to improve the fidelity of the player’s gaze through the addition of foveated rendering. High-dynamic range lighting boosts the realism of Gran Turismo 7's daytime races and is a wonder that has to be seen firsthand to be believed.

　　Even with just a standard DualSense controller in hand, the racing action feels as realistic as the highest-end racing simulator that money can buy. The immersion can be taken to another level with a full racing wheel and pedal setup, but that’s still something yet to find its way into the office here. The adaptive triggers and controller rumble, in combination with 3D audio through any connected audio device, only serve to heighten the realism of Gran Turismo 7 enough that the lack of a steering wheel in hand can temporarily be forgotten as players lose themselves within the leather exterior of a custom-tuned Pagani Huayra.

　　While Gran Turismo 7 is a full-priced title on its own, it should be considered an essential purchase to help show off the PlayStation VR2 to anyone curious about the headset. Even without a racing wheel to complete the experience, getting the controller into curious players' hands and letting them take a test drive on the High Speed Ring can prove the potential of the platform even on the first day on the market. If you haven't already picked up a copy of Gran Turismo 7, a brand new copy is available right now from Amazon US for $39.99.
