Sony has ported Gran Turismo 7 to Nintendo Switch 2 for internal testing and will not release it commercially. Nevertheless, due to the Switch 2 controller's lack of linear triggers, the gaming experience may be subpar. This move may be intended to test minimum hardware specifications and optimize graphics quality.

IT Home, February 26 — According to sources, Jeff Grubb revealed that Sony has quietly ported “Gran Turismo 7” to the Nintendo Switch 2 platform. However, this version is only for internal testing and will not be released publicly. Additionally, there have been rumors that Sony has actually ported “Gran Turismo” to Windows/Linux platforms, but this is also only for internal testing.

IT Home notes that the Joy-Con and Pro controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 lack linear triggers, making them less suitable for racing games and difficult to precisely control acceleration and braking. Therefore, even without considering exclusivity, the game’s experience on the Switch 2 is expected to be subpar.

Meanwhile, foreign media techpowerup believes that Sony’s port of “Gran Turismo 7” to the Switch 2 aims to test the game’s minimum hardware requirements and optimize its graphics performance on small screens. Given that Sony is reportedly developing a new standalone handheld console, it is very likely that Sony is simply using the Nintendo Switch 2 as a testing platform.
