On Feb. 21, Update 1.29 will be released(Opens in a new window) for Gran Turismo 7 on the PS5, unlocking “full” support for the PlayStation VR2, which releases a day later on Feb. 22.
With the update installed, PS5 owners who pick up the new VR headset will be able to experience all races and racing modes (with the exception of “2P Split Screen” mode) through virtual reality. The experience is being enhanced further by the inclusion of specially optimized HDR tone mapping and dynamic 3D audio.
