Gran Turismo 7 Controller Settings (2024)

FAQs

Does Gran Turismo 7 play well on controller? ›

Even with analog controls on the stick, it's still hard to make small, precise movements with the stick, like tilting it by just a few degrees and holding it. But when I'm rotating the controller with both hands, I can make (and hold) those small changes of a few degrees, and the game registers them perfectly fine.

Aerodynamics and Ride Height

Aerodynamics (downforce) play an enormous role in the handling characteristics of your vehicle in Gran Turismo 7. In order to adjust your downforce levels in GT7, you'll have to install downforce-enabled tuning parts (such as a wing or a new front bumper with a splitter.)

The easiest way to trigger a drift is to head into a corner at high speed and then abruptly apply the brake, immediately followed by the handbrake.

Yes it's still a great racing game for a beginner in the sense that it is more accessible than a hardcore sim but still has a fun and well delivered driving experience, especially in VR.

Tucked away in the controller options menu is the choice to use motion controls in place of the analog stick, emulating the feeling of turning a steering wheel.

Accelerate: X button/right stick - Up. Brake: square button/right stick - Down. Reverse: triangle button. Steering: left stick - Left/Right, Left/Right Buttons.

The first is by going into the car settings, within the pre-game lobby and scrolling to Traction Control Settings. You can then adjust between 0 (OFF) and 5 (most traction control).

Traction control system (TCS) 'Traction Control' monitors your tyres to prevent spinning. For example, suddenly accelerating out of a corner with a powerful car will cause its wheels to spin, disturbing its balance. In such a case, 'Traction Control' will taper down engine power to prevent spinning.

This parameter evaluates the responsiveness of the vehicle with respect to the driver inputs at the steering wheel, where low values can bring a subjective feeling of a slow response or lack of response from the vehicle and, at the same time, values too high are associated with the subjective feeling of a very fast ...

Force Feedback Strength (FFB)

PirovacBoy recommends always setting the FFB to its maximum value of 100 to access as much dynamic range as possible in the force feedback signal. Once set, use the in-game settings to control force feedback strength as desired.

Is Gran Turismo 7 good with DualSense? ›

GT7's arguably the best use of the controller's vibrations, too, with you able to feel every bump in the road, every gear change, even the sweeps of the windscreen wipers. But Gran Turismo 7 showcases the capabilities of the DualSense controller even further.

To help you be sure to get the most out of the new game and really experience all of its intensity, we've put together a selection of Thrustmaster racing wheels that are perfect for Gran Turismo 7.

Accelerate: X button/right stick - Up. Brake: square button/right stick - Down. Reverse: triangle button. Steering: left stick - Left/Right, Left/Right Buttons.

Ultimately, you should use a racing wheel for better input precision and control as a veteran player. However, a controller would suffice if you are new to racing games and just looking for a fun pastime.
