10 PlayStation 5 Exclusives We Know Are In Development

10. Gran Turismo 8

The Gran Turismo series is, arguably, Sony's most important. That might sound odd, considering it's just a racing franchise. However Gran Turismo is, by some margin, Sony's best selling series.

Since the PS1 era, the Gran Turismo games tend to be amongst, if not the, best selling games on each generation of hardware. However it's also fair to say that the last two instalments of the series have been a bit underwhelming. Gran Turismo Sport, the latest, in particular suffered from a lack of content and micro-transactions.

The PS5 is a fantastic opportunity for the Gran Turismo franchise to make a strong comeback. If Polyphony Digital can have a robust Gran Turismo 8 ready to go for the launch of the PS5 it's hard to underscore just how big of a deal that would be. Gran Turismo is a system seller like few others, and a return to form on the PS5 would be welcomed by fans.

Microsoft's Forza series, either Motorsport or Horizon, is the best racing games on the planet right now. Gran Turismo needs to find a way to compete on that front, and 8 has the potential to remind everyone who the original King is.
