Polyphony Digital appears to have successfully run Gran Turismo 7 on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, according to industry analyst Jeff Grubb. While this doesn’t indicate an imminent release on Nintendo’s platform, Grubb suggests the port was created for experimental purposes, allowing Sony to assess the capabilities of its competitor’s hardware.
No Announcements Expected
consumers should not anticipate any announcements regarding a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. Grubb explicitly stated that a release on the Switch 2 is “highly improbable.”

Gran Turismo 7 is the latest installment in Polyphony Digital’s long-running racing simulator series and a PlayStation Studios title. Originally released on March 4, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, the game also offered support for the now-discontinued PlayStation VR2.
Since its launch, the game has received numerous updates adding new content, including vehicles and circuits. In our review, we noted: “Even with its obvious limitations, it’s been since the days of PlayStation 2 that we’ve seen such a convincing Gran Turismo. Whether with a controller or a wheel, driving here is a dream. The career mode is very well designed, it’s a shame that it’s not customizable in any way, and that it gives away cars so frequently. Everything is superlative, except for some graphical glitches and that cursed AI which remains a unique and unbearable burden. Yet, despite this, the fun is guaranteed.”
