From in-game assistance to visual fidelity, it can be a lot to digest so here\u2019s a full breakdown of the most important settings to change. Unlike some more arcade-style racing games, the Gran Turismo series has always strived for the most authentic racing experience possible. As a result, you have a lengthy list of settings to tweak before even so much as getting behind the wheel. From optional assists that help guide your car to general gameplay tweaks, there\u2019s plenty to wrap your head around. It can all be overwhelming to begin, especially if it\u2019s your first time with the franchise. So here\u2019s an in-depth breakdown of the most important settings in Gran Turismo 7 and why you should change them. Contents General Settings &#8211; Assist Settings &#8211; General Gran Turismo 7 settings Before you dive into the more complicated settings, it\u2019s worth looking over the general Gran Turismo options. These can be found by navigating to the top left of the main menu. Up first are the Display Settings. This allows you to pick between a performance mode that prioritizes smooth gameplay or a Ray Tracing mode that improves visuals. Given how incredibly polished Gran Turismo 7 already is, we recommend that you prioritize Ray Tracing here. You may as well get the most out of your PS5 with this title considering performance is never a concern, even in the most visually demanding situations. Next up is the Race Difficulty setting. This option appears when you first boot up Gran Turismo 7, but if you happened to miss it, or simply want a change, you can always find it again in the general settings. Three difficulty options are available and each targets the game\u2019s AI drivers. On the easiest settings, you\u2019ll be racing against fairly standard bots. On the hardest settings, however, you\u2019ll be pushed by some formidable racers on any given track.

Normal is a solid middle ground if you\u2019ve had some experience. While Hard should only be selected if you\u2019re a veteran of the racing sim genre. Prize money is not impacted by these settings, so there\u2019s no consequence for playing on a lower difficulty to get your bearings. General Gran Turismo 7 Assist settings Now that you\u2019re ready to race, it\u2019s time to look over your Assist settings. These can be found in the menus before you start a particular activity, meaning you can always change them around before entering a specific track. Before diving into the nitty-gritty options here, you first have to change your Assist Preset Selection. Change this to custom in order to access some of the smaller settings below. With that out of the way, your first real order of business is addressing the Auto Drive setting. By default, Gran Turismo takes control of your vehicle at various moments. If you\u2019re approaching a corner too quickly, your breaks may automatically kick in. If you\u2019re veering off course, AI may grab the wheel and get you back on track. To truly master Gran Turismo, however, you\u2019ll want this set to \u2018Off\u2019 as soon as possible. This gives you full control of your car and is hands down the best way to play. Next is the Driving Line Assistance setting. If you\u2019re familiar with most racing sims, you\u2019ll recognize this feature right away. A glowing trail along the ground will help guide you along the optimal path through any course. This helps with timings on corners, how you should approach a long drift, and every little movement in between. It\u2019s especially helpful for your first few times visiting a track. Therefore, we suggest you keep this in effect with the \u2018Set to All\u2019 option. Once you\u2019ve mastered a particular track and know every turn before it arrives, you can then feel safe turning this option off. With 11 settings to pick through in this category alone, there\u2019s a ton to customize as you gain more experience. Below is a full list of our recommended Assist settings for the smoothest drive in Gran Turismo 7: Gears: Automatic &#8211; Assist Preset Selection \u2013 Custom &#8211; Traction Control \u2013 Default (5) &#8211; ABS \u2013 Default &#8211; Auto Drive \u2013 Off &#8211; Driving Line Assistance \u2013 All &#8211; Braking Indicator \u2013 On &#8211; Braking Area \u2013 On &#8211; Replace Car After Leaving Track \u2013 On &#8211; Active Stability Management \u2013 On &#8211; Countersteering Assistance \u2013 Weak &#8211; So those are the best settings to get you on your way in Gran Turismo 7. The more you play, the more you\u2019ll tweak the finer options, but this is an ideal starting point. Without too much handholding from the AI assistants, you\u2019ll be mastering tracks and setting record laps in no time.
