Xbox has created a new division to expand franchises
Polyphony previously confirmed that it was hiring staff for the production of “Gran Turismo,” but has not officially announced Gran Turismo 8. The next project is therefore widely presumed to be the series’ next numbered entry, although its title and release date remain unconfirmed.
With Gran Turismo 7 continuing to receive support, these new positions could indicate that Polyphony is preparing the next major evolution of its long-running racing franchise.
