There is mixed messaging in regard to this factoid. Kaz's tweet seems to say total player count yet the official GT account seems to imply that it's just referring to the players who participated in the GT Championship.

Gran Turismo series LTD as September 2017: 77.02M (sell-in)
Gran Turismo series LTD as May 5, 2018: 80.40M (sell-through)

So at least it's safe to say GTS sold more than 3.38M for now.

It's the best the game has to offer in my opinion. The racing is very intended and competitive and the presentation is just top notch. I'm completely exhausted after one of those races. And the tension of following your progression over the week is just the best (and worst, depending on how well you perform).

Each race feels like a championship, I have never been in the top 3 positions because somehow I always manage to do something stupid or someone bump me outside the track, but it feels great to have a clean race.

Yeah that's the real victory. I always pray for a clean race and when it finally happens I don't care about the results. :)

That is only 0.067% of world population, I expected more out of THE Grand Turismo.

So half a million people never went online? Meaning they cannot save their game?

A 5m milestone is easier to communicate than 5.45m (or whatever it is).

In June they added 500K accounts on the back of the Days of Play promotion. A typical month is closer to 250K. By the 12 month mark they should have passed 6m (probably announce something) and be closer to 6.5m by the end of the year.

Sounds like it but they are so imprecise with their communication.

Yeah, it's really sad they hide behind total players and don't give actual sales numbers. It can only mean it's lower than that. I wonder if we will ever see actual numbers for the game in terms of sales.

Loudninja · Jul 20, 2018

The actual players are around 5.5 million

So this was indeed those who entered that event? Seems extremely high given the number of total players.

Online users not the event users.

So 5 million online players since launch total player base is 5.5 million.

Jraphics Horse · Jul 20, 2018

It's about 5.7m online accounts including people who only played the final demo release.

potentialtodisplease · Jul 20, 2018

I'm currently doing my gold race on the Nurb for the circuit tests. Man, I really love the game to be honest. The best racing I have had with a pad in any game pretty much.

No, 5.5 million is the more precise total number of players who has played the game, it's not limited to those who participated in the FIA championship. The original announcement simply said "over 5 million".

So it's only sad to hide behind total players when it's a Sony game?

Mighty impressive numbers. You can try to spin it, of course, but the game is a massive success on consoles.

Click to expand...

Click to shrink...

I'm not surprised :)

Time to jump in :)

PSVR mode has already time trials for all courses ?

Don't worry you'll see them on GT website like it has always been.

Indeed, seeing who the poster is and his history on the old forum and here : D

StraySheep · Jul 20, 2018

I would love a free weekend or demo at some point to see if the racing/structure of the content is for me.

Loudninja · Jul 20, 2018

Can a mod update the title with 5.5 million?

Niks · Jul 20, 2018

With an install base of 80 million.. yeah 5.5 is not too hot a number.

Right? There are also billions of people in the world, PS4 only selling 80 million is nothing.

Putty · Jul 20, 2018

A few usual salty suspects i see 8). Best racer this gen. All the previous updates, new updates every month, all free. Scintilating support. Will only continue to get even better.

You haven't played Forza Horizon yet, huh?

Crayon · Jul 20, 2018

I've never seen a single franchise be such a consistently sensitive subject over such a long period of time.

phaeb · Jul 20, 2018

Great game and I've been meaning to get back into it

Branson · Jul 20, 2018

It plays fine with a controller but I would be so much more in my element with a wheel but my TX is only Xbox and pc.

Yes. 3 is a Fabulous game. 4 looks magnificent.

Sword Familiar · Jul 21, 2018

Mine's still in shrink wrap so they should probably count that minus one.

I dont really get why to be honest.

Elysiums · Jul 21, 2018

Online is perfection in GT Sport.. the Sport mode is great because people who bumps into others or push you all the time get time infractions. If you do a clean race you get bonus cash

Astonishing phenomenon tbh, I do not understand it either.
