Gran Turismo 6’s Servers will Shut Down in March 2018

March

If you haven’t yet decided whether or not you should leave Gran Turismo 6, I have some bad news. Through an update on their blog, Polyphony has announced that the servers for Gran Turismo 6 will be shutting down by March 28, 2018 at 12:00 UTC.

Prior to this, on 31 January 2018, they will also end the distribution of downloadable content that can be used in-game. This also includes the fact that game modes and online services such as the Community, Open Lobby, Quick Match, and Seasonal Events are now going away.

Don’t worry though, the rest of the game will continue to be accessible and the offline portions of it will remain intact. It seems like Polyphony wants to focus on their future titles, including Gran Turismo: Sport. Naturally, the older games are going to be taking the hit as they are left behind.

With the end of the online services, the distribution of the GT6 Track Path Editor, currently available on Google Play and the iOS App Store will also end as of 28 March 2018. Once the servers are shut down, it will no longer be possible to transfer track data to Gran Turismo 6.

This only makes me wonder what will happen once the servers for Gran Turismo: Sport shut down. As the game continues to have constant connectivity problems we begin to see the first hints of what’s to come once those servers are shut down.

I mean, once these servers become no longer available for the players the game will essentially be a paperweight with a few game modes attached to it. And this is a problem considering that a hefty portion of the game is actually online only.

This is one of the biggest issues with Always-Online games. And it seems like this is going to keep being the subject of discussion for a while.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

What are your thoughts on this? Does the allure of The Joker entice you to return to Suicide Squad, or have you remained a loyal fan all along? We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
